Q: What? Huh? A: Updates should be at least once a week. Q: Wait... What's going on? What are you doing? A: I've only beaten Master of Magic once, but I'm confident on how this'll go down. Q: Slow down, Let me get a word in edgew- A: At a few points you'll be acting as Pandy's Outter God Council, but Pandy still needs to learn the basics. Q: So, how do you play Master of M- A: Alright, this first update tired me out. Later this week, Page one! Q: Come back! What the hell is going on?!?!? Rap? Mashup music? I don't understand!

(Music: Acid Plan Theme) (January, 1400) Thousands of years ago, before Arcanus even counted years, the great Mage Merlin foretold a time of war. Four would be chosen by magic itself for a grand purpose. Those four would squabble and fight over power until a great evil shadowed the land. Then the four would come together to fight this evil. The evil would be black as midnight, and full of rot and decay, and... ... ...completely not what I had expected. Am I a magical girl, yet? I wanna make magical ponies! Ooo! With Tiaras! Pony Tiaras! (sigh) No. First, you must be trained in the ways of Magic. Let's start with your most powerful tools. These are the staffs of Murd- Ooo! Tuna, look at the size of these wands! That be some big magic! … What do they do? Very simple. The right staff- Wand. The right one is the wand of skill that will allow you to use more mana. The higher the power on the sta-er... wand, the more skilled you become. Right now, you are casting skill is 22, which means you can only use 22 mana per month. The middle wand is for research and allows you to decipher new spells from the tomes of evil. Finally, the left wand is for Mana and lets you stock up on Mana crystals for later. Mana what? They look like this. Right now, you have none, but your Power Base affords you 11 crystals a month. One for each book of evil. If I'm going to make tiaras for ponies, I'll need all of those. And what's this cauldron here? Ah, Alchemy. That is for turning Gold into Crystals.  Who is is? City Guards, Ma'am. Oh no, Tuna, they're onto us! I told Ma I wouldn'a go back to jail! WAHH!! Calm yourself! Guards, enter! Pandy, step away from that window! Sorry about the intrusion, Holy One, but we need orders.   (whisper) Tuna, don't tell them we can see their stats or they'll think we're insane. Holy one, are you talking to your...teddy bear? (whisper) Just follow my lead. It was like that when I got here. What money? There's no body in the cart. Uh... Seeing how you're the chosen one who will help save the world, we thought we would ask you for orders, Ma'am. You mean I get to tell you what to do? For the good of the High Men. Yes. Oh... Well, I certainly wouldn't want ta' break my High Men on the first month... We shall never get away with that joke. ...so do nothing, I guess. Um... Watch after the good folk of Tune Berry, Aye? Aye! Let us see. Our vaults are gaining one gold per month, no extra food, and eleven magic from the books. Am I a magical girl, yet? I wanna act clumsy in school, but at night I fight evil with the power of love. And the moon. Moon love. Pandy, you realize we're trying to kill everyone, right? With the power of MOON LOVE! Ooo! That's more gold than I've ever seen, that is! 75 is not much gold, Pandy. I hope we didn't need that. Ma's gonna need a tiara, too. Mmmm... I may have to turn her into a pony. Am I a magical girl y- Yes! YAY! So with the power of love, I...uh... (flip)  (flip)  (flip) ...will just invite some friends over for tea! A small warning, Pandy. That's your most powerful spell and make takes years to cast. TEA! (sigh) Sic fiat. While we wait, let me show you two more things. Here's the town of Tune Berry. And here's a list of things we can have your citizens create. All towns have basic needs to fill for them to grow and, in the end, give you more power. Now, Pandy, I want you to repeat after me. I solemnly swear to build in this order: Builder's Hall, Granary, Smithy, Market Place, Farmer's Market. Mmm? Oh, sorry, Tuna. I was thinking about turning everyone into ponies. Pandy! I wouldn't be able to tell them all apart at the Tea Party... Why are you not the avatar of Chaos? Why did the Black Lords choose YOU of all people? Maybe if I give them tattoos of balloons and such on their rumps Hmmm... You may need flour for tea biscuits. GOOD FOLK OF TUNE BERRY! BUILD A GRANARY! One final thing. What spell shall we research next? Donno. If only we had a community of strangers, some Goons or such, who could democratically decide what I need ta' do next, I could listen to them. Especially if they voted in Bold. It is funny you should mention that. (Later, at the beach)  (Music: Ma At The Beach Theme)  Finally, she's gone. My work for the Black Lords is finished and I can enjoy my vacation. Ha ha ha ha ha! I have a feeling there's nothing but good times ahead.(Note: Pandy's Mom is a terrible fortune teller) Grimwit fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Aug 23, 2016 |

And verily, even as the lulz of the audience are as music to the ears of the Black Lords, so shouldst Pandy research Night Stalker so a city can be garrisoned with a single invisible unit and the AI can spend sixty turns standing still before retreating.

Right now I have to agree with Night Stalkers, given how limited Pandy's options are, this looks like the most decent option right now. Thing thing with High Men, they can build just about everything, but that also means it takes them a long time to build up to their "good stuff". Death magic is great for loving with your enemies, but that's really all it is good for, there are very few actual city buffs, and most of those have a downside or two. Still it's and interesting challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

The Elder Council of Goons has spoken. They want Dark Stalk- PUPPIES! (sigh) Yes. Puppies.(One month later) (Music: Death and Takes Theme) Here's the woman you requested, Great One. Let go of me! Hey, Ma! Looksy! It's Pandy! . . . I know you were worried you wouldn'a see me again since the big tower sprung up! gently caress. And I got you a job! Tuna says I need a Takes helper! Pandy, what the hell are you talking about? This! This is a tax form. Yeah! You were always yelling about Takes like you wanted ta' change it. No, Pandy. Ma's got a new daughter named "margarita" on the shores. Hang on. (listens) Okay, Tuna says if you don't we're gonna kill you. Wait, I'm not doing that! Bad Tuna! Pandy. When the Tea comes, no biscuits for you! I'm leaving now. (Sigh) Well, I guess I can't make you do anything, Ma. But before you go, I got ya' somethin' to remember me by. It's a spell that makes my voice sing “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” in your head forever. Lemme just... Of course, I've always been interested in helping the community. Let me just look at these taxes. Really? I worked on it so even if ya' die ya' can still hear me. No time for spells, Pandy, Mama's work'n. Hold on... You're only charging 1 gold per population? Am I? That's half what the city was charging. You should be bleeding them dry. So, I should charge max gold? No no. If you go too high, the High Men will riot and won't pay anything. But they love me! Hang on, Ma, Tuna won't stop laughing. A good rule of thumb is 2 Gold and keep some soldiers in town to keep order. That'll get ya' 5 Gold a month.(A few months later) Oh, I have gold again! Sure hope we didn'a need that.(Month later again)  Was that a cat? It was supposed to be Tuna, but Grimwit found himself working a double shift and didn't have time. . . . I rarely know what you're talking about. Now let's see...”Big Harry Grinds Scary Meat Patties From Mary.” Black Lords mercy! You're not casting that beer bottle spell on me, are ya? No, silly! It's a rhyme Tuna taught me so I remember the order of town buildings! B-H-G-S-M-P-F-M. Builder's Hall, Granary, Smithy, Market Place, Farmer's Market. People of Tune Berry! Do we want Organic Non-GMO Foods! You bet we do! Build a Farmer's Market!  Hey, wait a second, I lost a gold a month! Look at the Granary, Pandy. Do ya' think it cost nothing to maintain, child? Hmm... Well, I need gold, so I'll just knock it down. No, ya moron! Because of the granary, there's more food which means we need fewer farmers. That's more hands to build the market and eventually make money! Hey, they're having a party outside my tower! So they are. Holding up funny signs. Can ya' read them? Silly Ma, I can't read. You know that! Better go an' join 'em then. Oh, It'll wait. Besides, Ma. It's time for a Tea Party! (Next episode: A Sexy Tea Party!)

Oh MAN. If I could have sacrificed bodies for money or Mana, I would have. I taxed as efficiently as I could and every month sacrificed money for power. The trouble with the Wraiths being Pandy's first spell is you suck up more mana than you could ever produce! I don't show it, but it's already October, 1401!
