==Magic Point Buy Extra Rules==
*'''Magical Investment:''' While most Categories are limited to 7 Investment, Magic has a maximum investment of 14. Additionally, if a character invests more than 7 points into Magic, they unlock a new Combat Style: True Mage. This Combat Style uses Magic for both Attack Stat and Defense Stat, allowing the Player to distribute their Magic Points between the two Stats, but only up to a cap of 7 for Attack and 5 for Defense. For example, if a Character has invested 10 Points into Magic, they can set their Attack stat to 6, and their Defense Stat to 4.

*'''Dimensional Alignment:''' To understand this Mechanic, please read the "Dimensional Alignment" section on the [[Magic]] Page. Magic Point Buy can be any of the Alignments listed (God, Void, Ordial, Exist), as long as the Character Design limitations for the Alignment chosen are followed. (ex. Dragon God Magic cannot be chosen freely, and can only be chosen by Archon).

*'''Sinistral Magic:''' To understand this Mechanic, please read the “Morality of Magic” section on the [[Magic]] Page. By default, the Magic Abilities below are classified as either Radiant or Enchant, however, some (but not all) of the Abilities have an alternate “Sinistral Usage” listed in their description. In order to use the “Sinistral Usage” mechanic, a character must have at least 5 Points invested into the Magic Category. Sinistral Usage is an empowered version of the Spell, which must be chosen (or not chosen) when the Spell is cast, and cannot be changed once cast that way, for the duration of that cast only. Please note, that many characters will take grave offense to the usage of Sinistral Magic, which is always telegraphed. Sinistral Magic exists for characters who are pushed to their absolute limits, and call on dark powers in desperation, or selfish mages who care only for their own safety and power.

* '''Sinistral Magic Emotes:''' If a Character plans on using Sinistral Magic, this must be appropriately reflected in the Character's Emotes. When using an Ability, defined by (a: Ability Name) , the Player must also include a (Sinistral) in the same Emote, right after the Ability. For example, "Timothy casts (a: Skeleton Blast) (Sinistral) at Jerry."

The Ability and Proficiency System
This page involves the Abilities and Proficiency system, which is a core part of how Combat Roleplay and "Competitive" Roleplay works on Massivecraft. To see an explanation of general Rules, Terminology, and Mechanics used on this page, read the Abilities page. To see a broader explanation of the Abilities and Rules used on this page, read the Proficiency Page. To see an indexed list of all Abilities, read the Ability List Page.

Magic Point Buy is part of the bigger Proficiency System. Please read the Proficiency Page first before reading this one. Enchant Point Buy provides Magic Spell Packs. Please consult the Magic Page before Point Buying any Packs here, as some considerations have to be made with regard to Spell Morality, and Dimension Alignment that affect how other Characters respond to your Character. Please read the Magic Point Buy Extra Rules before Point Buying any Packs here, as this Category is unique and has extra mechanics.

Magic Point Buy Extra Rules

  • Magical Investment: While most Categories are limited to 7 Investment, Magic has a maximum investment of 14. Additionally, if a character invests more than 7 points into Magic, they unlock a new Combat Style: True Mage. This Combat Style uses Magic for both Attack Stat and Defense Stat, allowing the Player to distribute their Magic Points between the two Stats, but only up to a cap of 7 for Attack and 5 for Defense. For example, if a Character has invested 10 Points into Magic, they can set their Attack stat to 6, and their Defense Stat to 4.
  • Dimensional Alignment: To understand this Mechanic, please read the "Dimensional Alignment" section on the Magic Page. Magic Point Buy can be any of the Alignments listed (God, Void, Ordial, Exist), as long as the Character Design limitations for the Alignment chosen are followed.
  • Sinistral Magic: To understand this Mechanic, please read the “Morality of Magic” section on the Magic Page. By default, the Magic Abilities below are classified as either Radiant or Enchant, however, some (but not all) of the Abilities have an alternate “Sinistral Usage” listed in their description. In order to use the “Sinistral Usage” mechanic, a character must have at least 5 Points invested into the Magic Category. Sinistral Usage is an empowered version of the Spell, which must be chosen (or not chosen) when the Spell is cast, and cannot be changed once cast that way, for the duration of that cast only. Please note, that many characters will take grave offense to the usage of Sinistral Magic, which is always telegraphed. Sinistral Magic exists for characters who are pushed to their absolute limits, and call on dark powers in desperation, or selfish mages who care only for their own safety and power.
  • Sinistral Magic Emotes: If a Character plans on using Sinistral Magic, this must be appropriately reflected in the Character's Emotes. When using an Ability, defined by (a: Ability Name) , the Player must also include a (Sinistral) in the same Emote, right after the Ability. For example, "Timothy casts (a: Skeleton Blast) (Sinistral) at Jerry."
  • Adapt Point Buy Packs: The Adapt Point Buy category has a number of Packs that also can count as Magical Spells, but are mostly non-Ability Mechanics. They are still relevant to know if a Player is building a character who uses all sorts of Magic.
