A Song of Magic and Money

After much discussion by the staff, there have been a few changes made to both the monetary and magic system.
First, money:
Second, magic:
Magic has been restructured into branches rather than tiers. Instead of each tome acting as a power gate for the RPer, tomes now each contain a specific type of magic, requiring magic users to pick and choose which magics they want to use. This was done to better define what each tome provided for the RPer, in addition to creating a more robust and creative magic system. The tome pricing has been reconfigured along with this adjustment.
*A post will be added to the magic thread, further describing what each tome does in detail*
Last, more money:
Because the new gold system changes how much gold players currently have, the staff is allowing everyone who posts in this thread before AUGUST 31st detailing their adjusted gold amount to be grandfathered into the new system.
An example of such a post would be:

First, money:
- All posts now net the RPer 10 gold to speed up weapon purchasing. However, to balance this out, gems have been rescaled from 1250 -> 2000 -> 5000 to 1000 -> 2000 -> 3000.
- Pre-promotes now get 1,000 gold and 2,000 gold upon creation for weapon users and magic users respectively. To balance this out, gems for pre-promotes have been rescaled from 1000 -> 2000 -> 3000 for both to 0 -> 1500 -> 3000 for weapon users and 0 -> 500 -> 3000 for magic users.
- Brave weapons have been lowered to 1250 gold given that they are in no way near as good as they are in the games
- Magic weapons have been raised to 3000 gold to coincide with their buff. A more expensive price was considered, but it was decided that given the scaling nature of the weapons, 3000 gold was appropriate.
- Master weapons (i.e. Regal Sword, Basilikos, etc.) have been lowered to 3000 gold and have been given a magic nullification effect. This effect is not a field or an aura, rather the metal itself disperses magical effects, requiring the swordsman to actually block or hit the spell.
- Shop now refunds only 50% of the value of an item when returned, instead of 100%.

Earned Gold
Post Gold: 796 x 10 = 7960
Gem Gold: 1000 + 2000 + 3000 = 6000
7940 + 6000 = 13940
Spent Gold
Dark Magic Sword: 3000
Ice Magic Axe: 3000
Master Seal x2: 1000
3000 + 3000 + 1000 = 7000
Total: 13940 - 7000 = 6940
