	== Contested Spells Contests ==
	[[Primary Magic]] and [[Debilitation skill]] do NOT play a direct role in the success or failure of a contested spell, except in the fact that it allows a mage to put more mana into the spell.

	This will mean that individual mages, depending on how they have and want to train their stats, will tend to have a particular type of contested spell that they excel at. Likewise, there will be particular targets who may be more or less resistant to specific types of contested spells. All of the above applies equally to both critters and players.

	===Magical Attack Styles===
	:'''[[:Category:Mind Contest Abilities\|Mind Attacks]]''' - The user is bringing the force of his own mind to bear on the target. Examples: [[Mental Blast]], [[Petrifying Visions]].<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Magic Contest Abilities\|Magic Attacks]]''' - The user is creating an effect that acts on its own accord as opposed to directly contesting themselves with the target. Examples: [[Anther's Call]], [[Branch Break]].<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Spirit Contest Abilities\|Spirit Attacks]]''' - The user is clashing their spirit or soul against the target, trying to bring down its weight against them. Examples: [[Heighten Pain]], [[Malediction]].<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Charm Contest Abilities\|Charm Attacks]]''' - The user is trying to lure or befuddle the target in a subtler attack, or instead awe the target through sheer presence. Examples: [[Aether Wolves]], [[Compel]].<br />

	===Non-Magical Attack Styles===
	:'''[[:Category:Fear Contest Abilities\|Fear Attacks]]''' - The user is trying to intimidate the target in order to evoke a desired effect. Examples: [[Roars\|Barbarian Roars]].
	:'''[[:Category:Power Contest Abilities\|Power Attacks]]''' - The user is bringing forth sheer physical brutality in order to cause an effect. Example: [[War Stomp]].
	:'''[[:Category:Finesse Contest Abilities\|Finesse Attacks]]''' - The user is using their quick and agile nature in order to cause the desired effect. Example: [[Ambush\|Thief Ambushes]].

	{{!}}}
	{{!}}}
	</center>
	<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Reflexes Contest Abilities\|Reflexes]]''' - The user is attempting to avoid something attacking them, keep their balance, or otherwise make agile or dexterous motions. Examples: [[Branch Break]], [[Desert's Maelstrom]].<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Fortitude Contest Abilities\|Fortitude]]''' - The user is trying to endure an effect or curse that cannot be avoided. Examples: [[Stun Foe]], [[Heighten Pain]].<br />
	:'''[[:Category:Willpower Contest Abilities\|Willpower]]''' - The user is attempting to actively fight off or shield themselves from an attempt to meddle with their state of being. Examples: [[Mental Blast]], [[Petrifying Visions]].<br />
	<br />
	:It was decided that attacks against a character fundamentally reduce to three things: You avoid it, you endure it, or you repel it. This new system still provides many more potential types of contests, given the input side of things.
