Mage’s Volley

 

Challenge the mind. Train your Magic. Embrace the Void.

 

Brought to the Lord-Magister Sulieronn’s mind while helping mages train, Mage’s Volley is meant to help mages understand how to aim their spells and learn strategy. By pinning mages against each other, or with each other for team events, mages shall be able to practice their magical arts in fun, meaningful ways. So, how do you play Mage’s Volley?

 

HOW TO PLAY

Mages will split up into teams, or decide to do a free for all. The Referee will use either an enchantment or a spell of their own to create “Targets” that will fly around an open space around the mages. This is preferably done in an open area. Then, the Referee will announce the start of a round, letting all the mages cast towards one Target of their choice. Destruction of a Target will lead to a mage receiving One Point. Of course, mages may cast at the same Target that another is going for in hopes of stealing the Point from them. The more Mages playing, the more “Targets” will be created. However, the number of Targets must always be divisible by the number of players. For example, a Three Mage game may not have 10 Targets, but it may have 12. This is so a theoretical tie may be achieved should all mages hit their Target every round. Ties are possible in this game. Here is a proper list of rules:
 

- Any amount of Mages may play. It may be a Free-For-All, or a Team game. Teams must be even and the Points gained by all Team Members will enter one Point Pool.

- The amount of Targets must be divisible by the amount of players. This allows for everyone to tie.

- Mages will fire at the same time and only shoot at up to one Target per round.

- Mages may try to attack the same Target as another Mage.

- Mages may not attack other Mages during the game.

- A Referee must keep track of Points. One Target is equal to One Point.

- Targets must be moving around.

- Mages may talk to each other during or between Rounds.

- Points may be given to another Mage. In case of Team Games, Team Members must unanimously agree when they want to give away Points.

- Referees may remove Points in cases of Foul Play and Rule Breaking.

- If discussed, Mages may agree on alternative rules for the game. This will be enforced by the Referee.

- Non-Mages, and Mages without a Projectile-Creating spell, may use enchanted wands to play the game.

OOC - HOW TO PLAY

Spoiler

One person is named the Referee and everyone else either does a free for all or goes into a team. The Referee will call out rounds and declare X amount of Targets being in play. The amount should be divisible by the amount of players. 10 is a good amount for a 2 player game. The Referee should emote the points for everyone and keep track of how many Targets are left.

 

A new person will start each round. So, if you have players X, Y, and Z, the first round will have emotes starting with X. Next will start with Y, third will start with Z, fourth will start with X, etc. This is so no one has an unfair advantage when picking targets. Alternatively, a /countdown can be used to make everyone emote at the same time. Mages should either declare shooting at “a target” or at “the same target as [player].”

 

After all emotes are done, everyone who cast at a Target will Roll out of 20. A 10+ is a Hit on a Target. In the case of multiple people Hitting the same Target:

     - Highest Roll gets the Point

     - If there’s a Tie for the Highest Roll, no Points are given
 

One Target is equal to One Point and Mages can declare either in the middle of the round, or after all the rolls are done to give someone else any amount of Points they have. If there is a Team, all members must agree to give away the Point(s).

 

Example Round:

Referee says, “Twelve Targets. Round one, Start!”
X throws a spell at a target.
Y throws a spell at a target.
Z throws a spell at X’s target.

 

X rolls 12 out of 20.

Y rolls 8 out of 20.

Z rolls 18 out of 20.

 

X rolls 6 out of 20.
Z rolls 2 out of 20.

Referee says, “X has 1 Point, Y has 0 Points, Z has 0 Points. Eleven Targets. Round Two… start!”

Looking down into the grand pits of his colosseum, Hohkmat’s Arena Master folded his arms, examining the clipboard suspended in air next to him. It contained his ever growing list of preparations, held up precariously in a bundled heap.

With a flick of his wrist, his quill of sapphire shards added one more item to the expansive catalog. One more for the books, he thought with a contented sigh. But in a quick lapse of concentration, he dropped hold of the list, and it rolled its considerable length down the walls of the pit…
