Dusty Pages - Major Rules

Gameplay Rules

 * 1) Dusty Pages is not for power-playing or godmodding.
 * 2) You cannot kill another player's character without their consent.
 * 3) Characters cannot cross over between game sessions (see: How to play.)
 * 4) Do not be rude. Racist, sexist, xenophobic, hurtful comments or remarks made by players are not tollerated.
 * 5) Players agree to a three-strike system. In case of misbehavior, there will be: a warning, a brief suspension, and finally a complete ban.

Rules of the World

 * 1) The dead cannot come back to life. (See rule #11 of magic.)
 * 2) Objects cannot be created out of nothing.
 * 3) Nothing in the world is indestructible.
 * 4) No player except the GM can play gods.
 * 5) Players cannot control other player's characters. Manipulation, hypnosis or possession are conditions that the GM must approve of, or players must show consensus in its regard. These conditions, more importantly, are always temporary.

Rules of Magic

 * 1) Magic is the art AND science of manipulating the world by tampering with the underlying fabric of it.
 * 2) Magic is, above all, logical. Players who use magic creatively must explain, with sound logic, why they think a spell or enchantment works that way.
 * 3) Magic must come from somewhere, such as the spirit of the user, the world around them, or a god or demon lending it.
 * 4) Magic is finite.
 * 5) Words are magic. Words have power. Vows are something you must keep, or face consequences.
 * 6) A magic user must have the required qualifications to use a spell.
 * 7) Magic borrowed from another being (a god, a demon, etc.) cannot be used to hurt them (it is not unlike telling someone "Hey, help me kill you!')
 * 8) Magic borrowed from another being can be DENIED if that being does not favor the user.
 * 9) Magic that taps into a person's own pool of spiritual power can lead to the user depleting their power, and even dying if they overdo it.
 * 10) The more precious something is, the harder it is to magically produce it.
 * 11) Life is priceless. There is no equivalent exchange for life.
