October 2022 roundup
This month's update brings new items to the shop, a new event, and changes to our Discord server!
💀🕯️ halloween event: curse of the corrupted
"Seeping up from below Ivras's cities is a fast-spreading curse with terrifying power. None know its origins for certain, but the magical affliction began in Faline and spread seemingly overnight to every major settlement in the Kingdom. The King, the Order, and the Archon's Witchfinders are scrabbling to contain it before the whole of Ivras is lost."
For this extra special, extra spooky event, Anathema characters are invited to battle a gruesome curse! Some will spread their immunity to the dreadful malady, while others are transformed by its terrible power. Today is the last day to participate in this event! It's not too late to get your prompt replies in!

⚔️ items added to our brand new battle shop!
Another section has been added to the item shop for a new item type: Battle Items! Battle items can be used during Great Hunts and Swarm Hunts to boost the effects of your mage's Attacks, redistribute power through a Hunt team, and more! Battle items are applied to a single Attack, and are consumed upon use. Each Attack can only have one item applied to it, even if the attack is a collaboration.
Read the descriptions below for the new items, and head over to the Item Shop to see the beautiful item art by Apel!
- Exploding Flask - one time use item. Adds +2 damage/aid to a single Attack
- Holy Water - one time use item. Negates Cost for one mage for a single Attack
- Rabbit's Foot - one time use item. For a single Attack, this item negates the halving of damage/aid that occurs when a monster resists a mage's magic type.
- Enchanted Cord - one time use item. For a single Team Attack, every member of the team (up to 5 mages) does the same amount of damage/aid. The damage/aid dealt by each mage will be an average of the entire team's total base damage/aid, rounded down. For example, if a team of two mages deal 8 and 2 base damage respectively, each mage would actually do 5 with the use of an Enchanted Cord.
📣 Discord forums and channel updates!
This month, we completed the Discord channel updates announced in our last roundup.

november 2022 Story Prompt:
The curse that plagued the citizens of Ivras seems to have dissipated, but the political ramifications hang over the realm like a different sort of miasma. Archon Miriam has used the curse as an excuse to double down on mage restrictions, now targeting those who make potions and elixirs. At the same time, word has spread among those who saw it happen that irresponsible Witchfinders were responsible for the curse.
Your character may believe what they like, but what do they do about it??
Prompt responses must be worth at least 1 gold (i.e. at least 100 words or at least an uncolored headshot).
Upload your response like any other art or literature submission, tag this character profile, and claim your gold; collect double your total count for prompt responses. Responses to this prompt should be done individually, one character per response.
