seeing that my might is a little low. I decide to pick up a level 1 weapon which gives me a +1 in might during physical fights.

Once you have picked your equipment you must pick your magic(For those that don't use magic we can use an alternative like a talent or upgrade that your character has.) There are two types of "Magic". Incantations and Spells. Incantations Give you a stat bonus for a certain amount of turns. While spells reduce your opponents stat for a certain amount of turns. Each magic starts off with a 1 in the bonus/debuff and 1 in turns that it lasts. for each level of the magic you can put it into the Bonus/debuf section or the turns section you then have pick the stat that you want it to effect. The amount of spells you can carry on your person is determined purely on you level. A level 1 person can only carry 1 a level 6 can carry six.

4. Resolve Phase: Determine where Damage Goes and determine who won the round and it’s effects whether someone has lost, swapped combat types and Retreats.
5. Write Phase: The winner of that round Writes what happens with the loser then reacting to the actions posted. If the actions from the resolved phase didn’t end combat Start a new round

Example: In Physical Fight two opponents are starting a new round. None of them are using spells or potions. Player 1 wants to do an All Out Attack His Might is 4 VS Might of 2 This giving them a roll of D12.while Player 2 Wants to Calm The Situation His Charm is 5 VS an Intellect of 4 This giving them a roll of d10. With that then set up they both roll their dice. Player 1 gets a 6 while Player 2 gets a 10. Since player 2 won that round by rolling higher. Due to the All Out Attack the winners difference is doubled So Players 4 difference turns to an 8. Since Calming The Situation Doesn’t do damage to the player The difference is subtracted from the Swap Bar. Then once the posts are done It is time to restart the process again.

Damage Chart: The way that the Damage Chart works is that with your action. You use your Offensive Stat and then compare it to your opponents Defensive stat. Depending on the difference will determine the roll you get with that action.
