The Fading Love Spell Act 1

<img src="C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\DaylightWizard.png"> Daylight pokes into a classroom as a man in a blue robe with a really long beard and a pointy hat stands in front of a chalkboard with a cauldron to the side. What has he been talking about for the last 40 minutes now? I can hardly remember. Should I? [[Listen and try to catch myself up to speed?]] [[Sleep?]] [[Whisper to the guy next to me?]] (text-style:"subscript","smear","expand")[Game By R. A. Carter II] [[References]]

"After a few more hundred years we finally came to were we are today with modern spells. A spells duration soul relies on a wizards ability to tap into the natural mana of the world." The old professors look into the small crowd of students. He spots your concentrated glare. (set: $name to (prompt: "What is your name?", "Enter a name ")) "$name" "You seem to be paying good attention. Tell me and the class the first step for hypnosis spells." [[Hypnosis spells were used by spies in the earlier days.]] [[Hypnosis spells were first used by fairies to keep humans away from magic regions.]] [[Hypnosis spells are dangerous in the wrong hands.]] [[I am trying to remember you speaking on that at all.]]

The professor gives you a stern glare with a disapproving expression. "$name, it would be great if you'd like to stay with us in the land of the conciseness." [[Sorry, won't happen again ]] [[**Stare Cluelessly*]]

I lean over to the guy next to you wears a blue robe with a pointy hat as well. He's much younger than the professor. He is levitating tiny pebbles into a circle back and forth. He doesn't seem really interested in the lecture. [[This is pretty boring, right? ]] [[Neat trick]] [[Now that's something I'd actually like to learn]]

The professor nods his head. "Very good $name, but please also remeber, that Hypnosis spells have a broad spectruam of uses. Let's take for example, the //(text-colour:red)[love spell]//. An unethical wizard may cast this with no true ill intent." The old wizard starts to ramble agian. Should I? [[Whisper to the guy next to me?]] or [[Tough it out ]]

An unethical wizard may cast this with no true ill intent." The old wizard starts to ramble agian. Should I? [[Whisper to the guy next to me?]] or [[Tough it out ]]

He catches the pebbles with his fist, then turns to you and whispers. "Seriously, I wish he'd just teach us some explosive magic or something cool like that." Well, none of it matters much longer anyway." [[What do you mean? ]] [[Yeah, we'll all be his age by the time we learn something cool for really. ]]

The Professor adjusts his glasses and picks up an old dust book. "As I stated previously, after a few more hundred years we finally came to were we are today with modern spells. A spells duration soul reises on a wizards ability to tap into the natural mana of the world." The old wizard starts to ramble agian. Should I? [[Whisper to the guy next to me?]] or [[Tough it out ]]

You stare at the chalk board. A diagram of the natureal body flow of mana is drawn on it. [[That's it for today]]

The professor slams his book shut. "That's all for today young pupils, please make sure to get some food and rest, tomorrow we will actually cast some spells" You get up and grab your thing. You don't have much only a wand and a basic level spell book. (text-style: "rumble")[Gurgle, gurgle] Your stomach growls. Should you? [[Eat Alone]] or [[Eat with the guy from earlier]]

He makes a shocked expression and covers his mouth to hold a laugh. The professor looks in the direction of the noise. [[Pretend to pay attention]] or [[Laugh]]

You prentend to pay attention with every fiber in your bone. [[That's it for today]]

You Laughed. The professor begins to scold you. [[Game Over]]

[[Start]]

You go to a tree stomp outside of the wizard school. You pull out an apple from your robe and start to eat it. As you enjoy the food you see a local village woman catches your eye. She's carrying buckets of water, but puts them down as she goes to talk to the guy you saw in class ealier. Should you? [[Go talk to them]] or [[Listen from a far]]

You go to a tree stomp outside of the wizard school. You pull out an apple from your robe and start to eat it. As you enjoy the food you see the guy from ealier. How should you get his attention? [[Hey dude!]] [[*Cast a weak wind spell*]]

<img src="C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\apples.png"> The guy from earlier whips his blonde hair from his face. He swiftly looks in your direction and smiles. "Hey, there, fellow wizard! Getting some lunch, too, I see. Hey, let's eat together." You both sit at a tree stomp and pull out apples to eat. You clear your throat to speak. The woman stands motionless. [[Tell me more about what you mentioned in class]] [[So, what's your story?]] [[Teach me that trick you did earlier in class.]] [[is she also a wizard?]]

You see the guy from your class lift the buckets with a spell. As the buckets are in the air they fall and spill all over the ground. The guy turns to the woman. "I'm sorry Torra, listen Closely" He puts his hand out, and a glowing blue orb appears in his hand. It flickers. <img src="C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\mananew.jfif"> "This is (text-colour:blue)[MANA], and it is slowly fading from this word.

You both sit at a tree stomp and pull out apples to eat. You clear your throat to speak. [[Tell me more about what you mentioned in class]] [[So, what's your story?]] [[Teach me that trick you did earlier in class.]]

(text-colour:red)[-5 Freindship] Weak as it may be, the wind spell causes the guy to trip and faceplant on the ground. A few villagers see the interaction and laugh. The blonde-haired wizard swiftly gets up and runs up to you. "Hey! What was that for!" [[Sorry, I just wanted your attention.]] [[It was an accident, you don't have to get so mad.]] [(set: $friendship to it -5)]

His face becomes more serious. "Listen Closely" He puts his hand out, and a glowing blue orb appears in his hand. It flickers. "This is (text-colour:blue)[MANA], and it is slowly fading from this word. Without it, spells and magic in general will cease to exist. [[What are you gonna do when it runs out?]] [[is there a way to preserve the magic]]

(text-colour:green)[+5 Frisndship] He looks up at you with a smile and a face full of apples. "You wanna know about me? Well, my name is Leon of the Furtherkin family. My family lives far in the outer regions of the kingdom. Long story short, they saw that I was interested in magic and wanted me to study here and bring back money from wizard jobs." [[Teach me that trick you did earlier in class.]] [[Tell me more about what you mentioned in class]] [(set: $friendship to it +5)]

He looks up with a smile and grabs three pebbles from the ground. "so you want to know how to do this huh?" (text-style:"italic","buoy")[Pebbles Pebbles Pebbles] //The pebbles spin mid-air.// As he performs the trick the pebbles slowly start to fall from the air. "It's starting already" *You open your mouth to speak.* [[What's starting]] [[That was not supposed to happen?"]]

He dusts himself off and cools down. "I get it. You probably just want to know what's going on urgently." "My name is Leon. It's nice to meet you." As you shake his hand you see a local village woman catches your eye. She's carrying buckets of water but puts them down. You both sit at a tree stomp and pull out apples to eat. You clear your throat to speak. [[Tell me more about what you mentioned in class]] [[So, what's your story?]] [[Teach me that trick you did earlier in class.]]

"Mad? you have not even seen me mad yet." "Come on show me what you got!" [[Duel]] or [[Run]]

His face becomes more serious. "Listen Closely" He puts his hand out, and a glowing blue orb appears in his hand. It flickers. "This is (text-colour:blue)[MANA], and it is slowly fading from this word. Without it, spells and magic in general will cease to exist. As he talks the woman from earlier listens from a a far with concern. Leon calls her over. "Hey! Torra! come over here" [[is she also a wizard?]]

"No, you see, Listen Closely" He puts his hand out, and a glowing blue orb appears in his hand.

"Nope! This is Torra of the Farmhand family." "She looked like she needed a hand carrying her buckets of water" Torra stands and then paces back and fourth. "(text-style:"subscript","condense")["Ummm hello] You respond to her. [[Hello, there!]] [[Wonderful weather were having]]

The young wizrad rushes towards you. He lifts a few pebbes at you. Some of the village people begin to watch the battle. Do you? [[Dodge]] Or [[Counter Attack]]

(text-colour:green)[+3 Friendship ] She blushes and hides her face. "Alright, Leon and $name, I reall most get going" She grabs her buckets and runs off. Leon gives you a smirk. [[what?]]

(text-colour:red)[-2 Friendship] She looks confused and twiddles her thumbs. "I suppose so. Well I really must get going!" She grabs her buckets and runs off Leon looks at you "That was pretty akward dude." [[what?]] [[well what would you have done]] [(set: $friendship to it -2)]

" I would have been much coller than that! I would have showed her a spell. People love spells." You look at your hands and try to remember what the professor was speaking about ealier. [[I don't know any spells]] [[I only know the love spell from earlier]] [[Make up a spell]]

" I don't know if you can tell but many people fall for me, people don't call me Leo the lover for no reason" "You've got to impress people if you want their attention, for example show me a cool spell' [[Right..]] [[Make up a spell]] [[I don't know any spells]]

"Aww come on, do you remember anything from the class ealier?" [[I only know the love spell from earlier]] [[Make up a spell]]

Leon perks up with an(text-colour:yellow)[ idea. ] "Hey, great idea! You should cast a love spell on Torra and take her on a date" "Magic in this world is runnning out so she's probably not even notice that you did it" [[This is not ethical]] [[Let's give it a try!]]

(set: $nameofspell to (prompt: "What is the name of the spell?", "Enter a name ")) You cast "$nameofspell" It's super weak, but makes a lot of commotion. All near by people trun in your direction, including the girl from ealier. Leon steps back. "Ok, so maybe you know a little of something, but let's do something easier" "So, come on, do you remember anything from the class ealier?" [[I only know the love spell from earlier]] <audio autoplay> <source src=" C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\wrongspell.wav"></audio>

"Hey, magic is fading and love is forever, You should use this as a chance to make her actually love you before the spell fades away" [[Let's give it a try!]]

You see Torra in the distance. You gather MANA in your hand and cast a spell [[Loveo manais]] [[Spell of Love!]]

A beam of MANA flies towards Torra. (text-style:"blink")+(text-colour:blue)[MANA ] (text-style:"blink")+(align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")+(text-colour:blue)[MANA] (text-style:"blink")+(align:"==>")+(box:"X=")+(text-colour:blue)[MANA ] The MANA hits Torra. She pauses and falls to her knees. She gathers herself and runs towards you. [[Is it supposed to be this strong]] [[I think I messed up]] <audio autoplay> <source src="C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\rightspell.mp3"></audio>

A beam of MANA flies towards Torra.

"I don't think that's how you were supposed to say it" You try again [[Loveo manais]] <audio autoplay> <source src=" C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\wrongspell.wav"></audio>

Torra pushes you over. You fall to the ground. She then throws a bucket at you. You dodge it just nearly and get up to your feet. [[Torra, what's going on]] [[Look to Leon fo help]]

"I think that the word messed up is an understatement! We need to get out of here! [[Look to Leon fo help]]

She is in a rage state. She lunges at you. [[Torra calm down you're under a spell]]

Leon hides behind a tree. "$name, I think that you were to weak to perform this spell. Our prefessor mentioned that some spells can have an oppsite effect if not casted correctly" Leon ducks as Torra continues to chase you. You try to calm her. [[Torra calm down you're under a spell]] [[Cast a weak wind spell]]

She is in a rage state. She lunges at you. Leon pops his head from around the tree he is hiding behind. "$name, Listen we have to go to the preffesor's quarters and steal his spell book that way we cast a spell to cancel this oen" [[Let's Go]]

You push her back for now. As you run away she chases you. Leon follows you. "$name, Listen we have to go to the preffesor's quarters and steal his spell book that way we cast a spell to cancel this oen" [[Let's Go]] [[This was a horribel idea]]

You and Leon Sneak back into the school. You head to where you last saw the professor. As you both enter the classroom you see a side door that leads to his quaters. [[Enter?]] or [[look around the classroom]]

You start to wonder if this was a good idea at all. Leo grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you. "Come on, focus we've got to help Torra get back into the right mindset or else this could end really bad." [[Let's Go]]

''Prefessors Quarters '' (text-style:"shudder")[SNORE SNORE] You both enter the room with the sleeping old wizard. Beside his bed is his own spell book. [[grab it]] or [[Wake him up]] <audio autoplay> <source src="C:\Users\soule\Pictures\Writing class\TwineDev\Assets\snore.flac"></audio>

The classroom is just as you left it after the professor let you go for the day. There are not many things of interest around. As you look around Leo paces back and fourth in front of the prefessor's quaters. "Come on , we've got to get the professors spell book before it's to late." [[Enter?]]

You grab the book. You thumb through it and see some info on a love spell. [[Return to the classroom]] or [[Go back outside?]]

You wake up the prefessor. "What in the balzes are you two doing in here!" [[Game Over]]

''CLASSROOM'' You return to the class room. [[look around the classroom]] or [[Go back outside?]]

You go outside and see Torra running around looking for you. She is checking under things and agreesively asking villagers. Leon whispers to you. (text-style:"subscript","condense")["I think you should read the book first."] [[Run over to her]] or [[open the book]] *Remember Leon suggests reading first*

Leo yells at you in a whisper and then tackles you before Torra sees you. "What are you doing? We need to read from the book!" [["How to cancel a spell"]]

You open the book behind the tree. Three chapters stand out to you the most. [["How to cancel a spell"]] [["Love spell side effects"]] [["Spell of flight"]]

You flip to this section of the book. It provides clear instrustions on how to cancel any spell. Leon comes closer to you. "Let me double check this for you." He reads a bit. "Listen I don't think your strong enough to cast this spell, since I put you into this sition also, I think I should try to help you cast it" "What's you next move $name?" [[keep looking through the book]] [[help Leon up and go to cast the spell on Torra]]

(text-colour:red)[WARNING] "Karmic Repercussions: Many belief systems, including some forms of magic and spirituality, emphasize the concept of karma or the law of cause and effect. Using a love spell to interfere with someone's free will could result in negative karma or spiritual consequences for the caster. Emotional Turmoil: Both the caster and the targeted individual may experience emotional turmoil as a result of the love spell. Feelings of guilt, anxiety, or disillusionment can arise when the true nature of the relationship is based on artificial influences rather than genuine affection." made you should have read that before casting the spell... [["How to cancel a spell"]]

You cast the spell and start to lift into the air, Torra sees you and starts to run to your direction. Leo yells at you from the ground below. "What are you doing?" [[Game Over]]

Three chapters stand out to you the most. [["How to cancel a spell"]] [["Love spell side effects"]] [["Spell of flight"]]

You both go from around the tree to face the enraged woman. She see both of you and runs in your direction. This time she has a pitch fork. You both open the book and start to read the cancel spell out loud! [[CancelMana-nia!]]

Torra stops in her tracks. She drops the pitch fork and looks around in confusion. She finally speaks when she gathers herself "You guys are horrible!, I don't know why but I'm a bit flattered at the amount of effort you put into trying to get my attention." [[Do you wanna get food and go on a walk some time?]] [[Seriously?]]

"Sure" ''END''

"Yup, Come on let's go apologize to the villagers and have a coffee" ''END ''

"Hmmm well I would assume so. I believe I heard a rumor that people sho could not use magic started casting spells by drinking mana potions.
