Power System
ADA's Little Power 101
Levels
You start out as a trainee without any powers.
Upon reaching level 1 you automatically unlock your level 1 species power and get to choose 1 more power in the form of a Talisman. Same applies for every new level you get promoted to.
There are 6 levels all together.
Species and Breeds
Upon creating a character you choose a specie for your character from the ADA Species & Breeds (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?t=3894) list.
The species determines your character's demonic nature.
Upon reaching level 3, you get to chose one of the Breeds that belongs to the species you have chosen.
Try to pick one that suits your character and offers you powers you like.
Be aware that choosing species and a breed is irreversible. Changing Species requires you to drop down to Trainee. Changing Breeds requires a self-demotion to level 3.
Species / Breed Powers
Upon choosing a specie / breed you are bound to the scope the specie / breed offers you.
Changing / picking different powers is only possible through restarting / self-demotion.
You can only pick powers from the specie / breed you chose for your character.
To change species you have to restart from Trainee.
To change your breed (you must keep the species) you drop down to level 3.
Talismans
You may compliment your talisman powers with the ADA Complementary Powers (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?p=155981#post155981).
Some powers do have level limitations (eg. "Level 3+") and you can't add them to your scope until you reach the stated level.
Pendants are different type of powers. As a talisman, of which you choose one per promotion, you can only pick from the powers that are labelled as such.
Using your powers in WWD
Upon promotion you have to request your powers in the Dark Apothecary.
Once a Dark Apothecarist has given you your powers you need to post them in the Member Roster (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?t=3794), only then may you use them in WWD.
Spells
You may use the spells from the Grimoire (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?t=2512) in any fight that allows spells.
You can only use the spells listed for your or lower levels.
Pendants
The Pendants (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?t=3879#Pendants) are a special kind of power that may be used in ADA only.
They can be chosen upon approval by a Warlord (this means, someone has to tell you "Go pick one". Mostly those are for tournament wins, etc)
Sekhmet's Gifts
Sekhmet's Gifts (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?p=156010#post156010) are Bonus powers that must be used in ADA only.
There are three different items with different effects.
To obtain such a Gift you need to challenge the current owner and win the fight against them
Custom Power
Upon reaching level 6 you may create your own Custom Power.
This can be an existing power, or you can create your own.
To get a CP approved you need to PM a Council Member with it.
CP's of members are posted here (http://www.midnight-shadows.org/showthread.php?p=156013#post156013).
Receiving Powers
You get your level powers upon promotion. So after being promoted to level 2 you pick your level 2 powers.
In order to be allowed to use a power, you must state the power in The Dark Apothecary.
Once the Dark Apothecarists post an IC post and hand you your powers, you may use them. Upon this post being made, you MUST post your chosen talisman in the Member Roster, otherwise you use the powers without approval in WWD.
This applies for species powers, talismans or Custum Powers.
