Caster Creation


Croaked and Decrypted Casters


Casters can still cast after being decrypted, as demonstrated by Ace Hardware and Jack Snipe. Decrypted casters retain their free will and memories, although their Loyalty switches to the attuned wielder of the Arkenpliers. Hvs.tCF 1

Caster Creation




Some additional possibilities on how casters' numbers might be restricted:

  • Fate likely limits casters in certain ways to discourage peace. The peaceful side of Faq had a fairly decent number of casters, but was very vulnerable due to the lack of allies. The Royal Crown Coalition was a large and stable alliance, each side having a normal number of casters, but was dedicated to the purpose of enforcing Royal supremacy by crushing non-royal sides. The So-be-it Union by contrast, was a stable alliance dedicated to peace and only had 2 casters between all 4 sides on it. Alternatively, it might not be peace per se that limited the So-be-it Union's casters, but inactivity. The So-be-it Union doesn't have a lot of warfare, and it doesn't do a lot of other things either. Since units aren't being popped and croaked, leveling up, or doing any other major transactions, the So-be-it Union might not be generating enough karma to motivate Fate into creating a plan for it. And with no plan for the So-be-it Union, Fate has no reason to override their cities' production queues to produce anything other than a factory default warlord.
  • What casters a side gets is dependent on Signamancy. For example, a side themed around fashion designers might have a strong chance of popping a Dollamancer, a side themed around pornography might have an enhanced chance of popping a Shockmancer, and a side themed around theater might have an enhanced chance of popping Stagemancers. In this case, the number of casters may well be limited only by the strength of the side's available niches, and it might be possible for a ruler to use Signamancy to deliberately pop more casters.

Casters, Sides, and the Magic Kingdom

The Magic Kingdom is a special location that only casters can enter. Casters from active sides can enter and exit the Magic Kingdom via portals. However, many casters in the Magic Kingdom are barbarians and do not belong to sides on Erfworld, instead claiming allegiance to their discipline or to no one. The number of casters in the Magic Kingdom may, at any given time, outnumber those elsewhere on Erfworld.

Warlord Parson Gotti is able to enter the Magic Kingdom, and therefore might also be a caster. There are no other known warlord/casters in Erfworld.
