Developer Note: The current V9 Rules can be found here.

The V9 Wiki is currently obsolete. The Project Phoenix Google Doc is the main source of V9 rules going forward.
We will eventually rebuild the wiki as a comprehensive rules reference, but now is not that time.

Thank you for your interest in the project! Join the Discord for more information!

  • This wiki is the detailed, comprehensive form of the ruleset. You can find the condensed Quick-Play rules here. These are currently still a work in progress.

Incantations

An incantation is the unique, ability-specific lines that are required to be spoken as part of using an ability.

  1. An incantation listed as "I command thee to stop x3" requires the caster to say the words "I command thee to stop" three times in succession.
    • Casters may freely switch the pronouns (my, thy, your, etc.) within incantations to make them appropriate to the situation.

  2. Incantations must be said loud and clear enough to be heard and understood within 50ft or by the target, whichever is closer. If the target is within 20ft, it must be heard and understood clearly out to 20ft.
    • Mispronunciation, improper wording, omitting words, insufficient volume, or a gap of more than two seconds between words will interrupt the incantation.
    • Battlefields can be chaotic and each player processes sensations differently. Casters and targets should act in good faith when determining what is loud or clear enough. When in doubt, refer to the Battlefield Etiquette.
See "Casting" to learn how incantations play a part in casting abilities.
