Magic Horizons refers to game days, in game, as being the Time Of The Mad Moons. During the time of the Mad Moons, magic rises to its full tide. Crafters get crazed ideas for marvelous new creations. The monsters start stirring restlessly. Scholars and sages can perform great and laborious calculations to predict the next Mad Moons. Some of their results are shown on the <A HREF="../info/schedule.html" TARGET="_top">schedule</A>, elsewhere at this web site.</P> <P>It is assumed that your characters spend the time between mad moons recovering from their adventures, studying and practicing their skills, and leading relatively hum-drum lives.</P> <P>The maintenance that you pay at the start of the game day reflects the life-style your character lives between Mad Moons, with the various benefits representing extra time training yourself (body points), or preparing items for your craft (production points), or contemplating the mystic forces of the universe (spell points).</P> <P>The Mad Moons appear to have an effect on natural phemonan, as it appears that kern vines only produce kern pods at the time of the Mad Moons. This effectively prevents widescale cultivation of the mysterious plant, and causes Imperial trading vessels to appear in Port Mahon at these times.</P> <TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0"> <TR> <TD><A><IMG SRC="../images/left_h.jpg" ALT="Left End Of Scroll Bar" WIDTH="32" HEIGHT="116"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../info/info_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/info_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Logistics]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="45" HEIGHT="116" NAME="info"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../game/game_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/game_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Game Info]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="60" HEIGHT="116" NAME="game"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../misc/misc_toc.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/misc_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Miscellaneous Information]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="62" HEIGHT="116" NAME="misc"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../faq.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/faq_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Frequently Asked Questions]" BORDER="0" WIDTH="58" HEIGHT="116" NAME="faq"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../new.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/new_h_n.jpg" ALT="[What's New]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="52" HEIGHT="116" NAME="whatsNew"></A></TD> <TD><A HREF="../index.html" TARGET="_top"><IMG SRC="../images/home_h_n.jpg" ALT="[Magic Horizons Home Page]" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" WIDTH="59" HEIGHT="116" NAME="home"></A></TD> <TD><IMG SRC="../images/right_h.jpg" ALT="Right End Of Scroll Bar" WIDTH="22" HEIGHT="116"></TD></TR></TABLE> <P>Problems with the page?
