The Magic

HoofPrince is unique in that it's inhabitants are gifted with the blessing of the elements and the favor of the stars. To learn more about how magic is incorporated in our game, read below. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact our staff!

Elements, Gods, and Stones

Each of the nine elements on Hoof Prince has it's very own god, major gemstone, and minor gemstone. Your character will be presented with a gemstone by the Oracle upon their arrival. The gemstone is placed anywhere of your liking on your character (on a rope, on their hoof, etc). Every character begins at level 1. To earn higher levels, you must gain tokens by participating on the site. Once you've received enough tokens to reach level 4, you may gain a new element from the Oracle or by petitioning the Guardian of the element you desire.

Minor Gems

Sometimes, a minor gem is given by the Oracle or from a Guardian instead of a regular gem or earned at from an Event. Those who possess minor gems lack proper control of their element or may have a weaker version of their element. Minor gems may be leveled up, much like major gems, but a new element cannot be earned until the minor gem becomes a major gem. To change a minor gem to a major, one must speak to Guardian of that element the same as if they wished to change elements entirely. A character keeps the level of their element when a major gemstone is obtained.

Temples and Temple Positions

Guardian: The guardian position is the direct link between the god and the mortal world, especially now while they slumber. Guardians are responsible for handing out new elements when mortals petition them as well as educating both spirits and apprentices on the roles of guardian, temple lore, and the god themselves. Guardians can participate in Crusades.

Spirits: A step beneath the guardian, the temple spirits have a weaker connection to their god though they can cultivate this the closer they get to Level IV. If the god does not like their guardian, or the guardian is inactive, they may call on the spirit for help in training the apprentice or talk to mortals for them. Spirits may also participate in Crusades but their prizes are not as major as the Guardians.

Apprentices: This is a trainee temple position. Apprentices work with the spirits and guardians of the temple to help master their element as well as build a better connection with their god. While only available to levels I and II, the apprentice position helps to build a deep understanding of what their element does, who their god is, and why their position in the temple is important.

Nonbelievers

The non-believers are those who choose to not recognize the gods or the elements. They can be chosen at random upon joining or you can make a note saying you would prefer your new character to be a non-believer. However, you can also choose to reject your element and become a non-believer or petition a god to become an elemental.

Non-believers are fortune tellers and star-readers; they look to nature for the answers instead of looking to elements or gods for help. They are able to communicate with the world around them - with the plants and the animals. Now, while it would seem as though they would be helpless in a battle against someone who has elements, they are more in-tune with nature giving them an almost psychic advantage.

You can still collect tokens for these characters in order to gain traits and become more attuned with nature and the stars. You do not have to take the traits you earn if you do not want it - the choice is yours.

Events

The Gods may have been put to rest, but their rage and power still influences the world around us. Just as the elements have become a part of us, they have begun to effect the other inhabitants of Hoof Prince, warping them far beyond the realm of anything we've dealt with.

Level I - Creatures tend to to be balls of elemental energy with little to no features or small creatures such as insects.
Level II - Creatures are small, generally herbivorous, such as mice and rabbits.
Level III - Larger herbivorous creatures such as deer and smaller carnivorous creatures such as coyotes have been infected.
Level IV - Predatory or otherwise dangerous animals such as those that would naturally hunt equines.
Level V - The elements have twisted and corrupted these beasts almost beyond recognition; carry multiple elements.

Characters may freely interact with creatures Level III and below in their posts, but these creatures do not drop prizes. Any creature Level IV and above must be posted by staff or other designated players and may drop prizes such as tokens or minor stones if successfully defeated in an Event.
