The main difference between Spells and Techniques is that the former uses MP and the latter uses SP. Spells are magic-based and will therefore have a wider range of abilities while Techniques are for physical combat.
Spells and Techniques must be approved by a Crew member. Starting characters get to create 3 Spells or Techniques. 1 New Spell per Level.
█ Ancient Spells & Techniques █
These are all the spells and techniques made prior to the implementation of these new guidelines. They do not abide by the following rules and may be more powerful (and may be weaker too!) The only way to learn them is for the owner of the techniques to teach it to your OC.

█ SPELLS █
Spells are broken down into 5 categories as of right now, but that may change in the future should RPers prove themselves to be more creative than expected.
Reminder: To use a Spell, one must have had unlocked its Element first!
Power Restrictions Spell Power (before any other buff/ability) is limited by the amount of Skill Points dropped in the corresponding element and vary depending on the types of Spell that is being created. Upgrading the Power of a spell once one has added more skill points is possible by submitting a Spell Update Request Form. Hybrid Spells are allowed, but the power of said spells will be half of both categories. For instance, it can only harm by 50 points and heal by 50 points if one's limit were at 100 both. Cost of MP will be half of both rounded upwards added together which will be 25MP+20 (10+2/3* 10 rounded up.)MP
Having spells with other abilities that do not fit the 5 categories is allowed, but they will be considered a hybrid spell in terms of power and special abilities will be reviewed in a much stricter way by the crew.
Alternative forms of payment may reduce the MP cost of spells.
The crew reserves the right to modify any of these accordingly to the situation to avoid Abuse.
Area of Effect spells, spells that damage more than just one user will cost additional MP:
Single Target: 0 Linear beam with moderate range:10MP 2-sides out of 6: 20MP 3-sides/6:30, Decrease dodge rate by 1 4-sides/6:40, Decrease dodge rate by 2 5-sides/6:50MP, Decrease dodge rate by 3 6-sides/6:60MP, Decrease dodge rate by 4
Status Ailments: 'Magic Abilities' that can be added to spells. Should the spell land, RPer onthe receiving end need to roll a 6D(make an additional post with the 1st one blank except for the character and the purpose of the first roll), every odd number means that the status has been inflicted upon the target.

This section is every Wannabe Kung-Fu Master's dream. It will be a lot less logic-based, meaning that ridiculously flashy stunts will be permitted and plausible for the sole reason of having been approved. In other words, coming up with something similar mid-battle won't have any special effects unless made into a technique here.Techniques are also supposed to be less versatile, have less abilities than spells.
Reminder: To use a Technique, one must have had unlocked its Weapon's Skills First! Limited by Weapons: To be able to use the technique, one must be using the compatible weapons.
█ Destruction [ Attacks ] █ Where you can Xiang Long Shiba Zhang people. Techniques that deal damage according to the weapon skill's base damage.
Compatible with only 1 Weapon. Every 1% boosted will use 1% of one's max SP For instance, boosting one's base weapon by 50% (dealing a total of 150% of base damage) will cost 50% of one's SP.
█ Stance [ Passive ] █ A combat stance offers passive buffs at the cost of another.
Fixed number as buff. Every 30 points buffed costs 10 SP and will have another Stat debuffed by 30. Every additional turn the stance lasts will take up half of the initial SP Stats increased cannot be HP or SP. Only applicable to caster. May affect Dodge Rate, Hit Rate, SP consumption, Escape Rate, etc. Cost and debuff will need to be discussed further with crew. Compatible with only 2 Weapons.
█ Regeneration [ Self-Healing ] █ Heal one's HP or MP with SP/using HP to heal MP or SP
Only applicable to self. Amount Healed is the equivalent of 75% of the amount spent in SP/HP Only Compatible with Hand-to-Hand or Blunt types of weapon that are enchanted to allow flow of energy.
█ Seals [ Support ] █ Strike at precise acupoints to hinder or help while inflicting minor damage on both target and self.

If it's cast onto one's self, it will be double of the buff basically. Duration of Seals are determined during the casting unlike Stances. This is the only way for a Technique to affect an OC aside from the caster.
