GATE(Status: Closed, Open, Destroyed) BOUND (Is (s)he?) POWER: For gods, this is a relative measure of how much the god can affect what's going on if invited to do so. Note that if uninvited, the gods can do nothing under most circumstances. For magic, it's a multiplier on the base cost of a spell, which is 10 PP for a minor arcanum and 20 for a major arcanum. Thus, currently, a white minor arcanum is worth 5, a black 20, a clear 10. CONTROL:For gods, it's a relative measure of how well you can communicate with the god, to get your message across, and be understood. If Tualoha is unbound she goes mad and your odds of getting a message accross coherently are slim (hence "much much less than one.") If she is bound, then everything depends on HOW she is bound. Explained later. Note that bound gods cannot be contacted, and if an opposite gate exists it sets up "static." For magic, 1 means everything works, .5 means major arcana are unpredictable, 0 means everything is unpredictable. Currently, white magic is at .5. ORBS: Orbs are keyed to the interactions between realms. If there are no gates, the orbs don't work. This is what the Ptaavs are working towards. MADWANDS: 0 means they have their talents as written. 1 means they get "INTUITIVE MAGE III: Contact a GM to cause a spell effect to occur." oh, yeah: "+" means "it depends." The binding ritual requires a 5th rank or higher deva to be bound into the spell. If the deva is of the god being bound, by nature or by association, then the god is not completely bound, but is rather quieted. For Tualoha, this means she is fully awake and functional and is a full-fledged Goddess, NOT INSANE. For Chthon, it means nothing (ie; if he is bound through a Chthonic vessel he remains the way he was, otherwise he is fully bound) All files in the directory /mit/abstract/Archives/Old_castles, and all files in any subdirectories thereof, and any materials in the "abstract" locker pertaining to the game "Castles in the Sky" as run for the MIT Assassin's Guild in the Spring of 1989 are copyright to Andrea Brandford and David Policar and are not available for public use or viewing.
