A YEAR IN REVIEW - THE MAHOYAKU WIKI

Hi! The wiki team has put together a little presentation on what we've been up to this past year! Please come look! There's also a poll at the end to gauge interest in a potential expansion.

Are any of these your favorite updates? Reblog with the things you appreciate or want to see more, either in text or tags! They help educate the priority of the updates.

This update is applied to all 21 wizards! Are you an active reader? Love summarizing? Then how about giving a shot at filling in character pages!

There are up to 180 recipes you can cook!

Whenever you visit the wiki we always recommend on desktop for the full cute design and functionality (ad block), mobile looks pretty funky!

This one is mostly used for the logstories! Did you know you can read more than 90+ log stories!!!!!

Which one is your favorite dialogue box? Popular choice could change the look of future templates!

If something doesn't look great on mobile... it's because Fandom sucks and we didn't want to rewrite everything for mobile's sake. But that isn't the case for stories and log stories!!

Now... here is the update that pertains to this account

Still in a work in progress! As most pages are not properly tagged! 19 wizards currently have their pages for each card!

This account is connected to this portion of the wiki! Another post will have more details, but anything on the wiki is something that can be asked for here on this account!

We've done a lot this year!!

You too can join the team! Please,,, help us,,,,,,, we'll love you

And finally... that pole i mentioned

Since the anime is almost upon us, we're curious how much effort we should place to guide new comers into story terms and worldbuilding

[etrangeres]

(This same little presentation was posted about a month ago on my twitter! I just figured I may as well put it here now.)

Since mahoyaku is getting an anime, I thought I'd do what I did for IDOLiSH7 back in the day and make a SUPER BEGINNER'S GUIDE for mahoyaku!

If you're unfamiliar with mahoyaku but are fans of IDOLiSH7, Tsushimi is the scenario writer! I highly recommend checking out one if you like the other.

This assumes zero knowledge and is (largely) spoiler-free so as not to ruin some of the surprises of Part 1 of the main story!

See the rest of the character intros below the cut, since it gets pretty long.

Hi!! I want to get into mahoyaku but idk how... do you recommend a way/a point where to start? Thank you :)

Of course, but im a novice myself so i can only point you in the direction im taking too. This person has a lot of translations. Then for the order ive been guided to read main story 1 -> preludes and etudes -> ballads -> ms1.5 aka anni1 -> rhapsodies and concertos -> anni2 -> ms2. With location and affection stories at any point after you get to meet the characters (so after ms1, im currently reading affection stories in my journey). It really feels like a religious initiation getting into a new josei game doesnt it... have fun!!

Happy Yaoi Friday!

So I purchased a magazine about BL and otome games from 20 years ago because I'm actually very interested in the history of visual novels targeted at a female audience. I've seen people post pictures from old bishoujo game magazines and tag it with #animecore but rarely do images with early 2000's anime boys from visual novels get the same treatment. Since I'm really interested in this stuff I thought, why don't I archive some old yaoi game mags! I want to see inside them. And I ended up getting the oldest issue I could find for about over $30 including shipping. This is not my proudest purchase. My ultimate goal was to get one of the issues from 2002 (the year when B's log FIRST started serialization) but the listings I saw for 2002 issues ended with me getting refunded. Thrice

When I think of B's log magazine today, I think of it providing fun content on not-explicitly-romance games with male characters (i.e. enstars, mahoyaku and the like) but way back in its early days, the prime thing they focused on was BL games. There's a little bit of otome game stuff in this magazine but BL takes up like 80% of it. There's like, extensive capture guides to a couple of BL games and interviews with staff, fanart corners, product and software highlights and announcements. And visual novels being a medium full of romance and erotic content, there's yaoi sex images in here. Not very explicit but I don't know how I feel about the appearances of some of the characters depicted...

Also note that this is from 2003, and specifically about GAMES, so a lot of iconic yaoi isn't here besides maybe Sukisho. Have you heard of "Ouji-sama Lv1". Me neither, until I picked this up (This is a lie I heard about it before making this purchase because it's from Alicesoft's defunct BL branch)

I really want to archive this somehow though and maybe get more magazines (There's another magazine that has ran for a while that still has a focus on BL games today called Cool-B). Would it be worth it to pour $36 down the drain, melt the glue on the binding and scan the pages? I wish I could just press the spine on my scanner but this magazine is a lot sturdier and thicker than I was expecting. If I did that then there'd be a gutter shadow. I'm scared of damaging it but I know it's a sacrifice magazine archivers are confident in making.

Also there's a CD in here that has some music from BL games on it. I don't really know if it's worth trying to archive that since those songs can probably be found online pretty easily if you search them up.

I was going through on one of my favourite websites for Mahoyaku help and guides etc, specifically I was searching for a certain recipe, and chrome auto translated the page, leading the “bitter” flavour in this section to become “suffering” 😭

Well, everyone I gave food to can be happy and enjoy the hopefully bitter food not suffering 😭 (specifically iirc this was for Chloe and I do not want to do that to him–)

[MHYK] city of affluence location guide

hello! i made this guide because i couldn't find any other guides in english about this location. the gimmick is pretty fun to use, but it’s quite detailed(?) in terms of how the mechanics work. i’ve gone in depth to explain it, so please enjoy the gimmick well~

[i’m not fluent in japanese!! my rough translations of some of the texts may not be extremely accurate, but i hope i’ve managed to get the main point of it across.]

[this post is image heavy and quite long!]

how the tea party gimmick works

here’s the training location on the map!

---

when you first start, there will be a button which says “ お茶会 “ [tea party] with a bar on the top. successful training interactions will raise the percentage of the bar by 15%, while unsuccessful ones will lower the percentage by 10%. in order to hold a tea party and use the gimmick, the bar must be at 100%! resting will not affect the percentage. pressing on the button will lead to a menu where you can choose different teas and sweets to serve at your party.

------

tea party menu

this is what the menu looks like at the beginning of the training session!

there’s quite a lot of information to cover for each part of the menu, so i’ve cropped the picture for each part to point it out. 

---

the top of the menu

the brown box at the left will display the お茶会Lv. [tea party level], the teas unlocked (signaled by a filled cup of tea), and the 交流Lv. [exchange level]. to the right, all the levels of the training attributes are shown for easier reference.

the exchange level corresponds to the amount of levels each training attribute has. after unlocking a certain amount of 交流 levels, in this case 10, the tea party level will rise and another type of tea will be unlocked.

about tea party level 5: level 5 is the maximum and is only unlocked once you have 25  交流 levels. it unlocks the special drink (if you haven’t unlocked it by chance already) and allows you to serve two drinks and sweets at once! here’s what it looks like (i reached the 10 image limit lol)

the bottom of the menu

the section in the middle, marked by 選んでください [please choose], displays all the teas and sweets you can serve! click on the teas and sweets to place them on the plates at the top.

different kinds of teas are obtained by raising your tea party level, and sweets are obtained by resting. the bonuses and stamina needed for each type of tea to be served are displayed in the text box at the top. pairing the tea with sweets will generally lower the stamina cost by 4, but combining certain teas and sweets will cut the stamina cost in half. there’s more information for tea bonuses and pairing teas and sweets in the last section!

finally, the button at the bottom says 開催 [hold]. pressing on it when the percentage bar is at 100% will allow you to hold the tea party and serve whichever teas and sweets you chose, giving you the bonuses from said teas!

------

tea bonuses

as a reminder, matching sweets will lower the stamina cost of the tea by half while any other sweets will lower stamina cost by 4. the only exception to this is the special tea, which has its stamina cost lowered by half when paired with any type of sweets.

tea party level needed: 1 (unlocked automatically) bonus: random training attribute level +1 stamina cost (no sweets): -20 matching sweet: parfait

---

tea party level needed: 2 bonus: random training attribute level +3 stamina cost (no sweets): -30 matching sweet: biscuits

---

tea party level needed: 3 bonus: for the next turn, whichever training attribute is chosen will have its level raised by 2. stamina cost: -20 matching sweet: pie

---

tea party level: 4 bonus: for the next turn, the effects of the training parameter chosen will be raised by 60% matching sweet: scone(? i’m not sure what this is lol)

---

the special tea appears at random. once it does, the special tea will not disappear until you serve it. bonus: for 3 turns, the effect of whichever training parameter chosen will be increased by 30%. (you can choose up to 3 different parameters; one every turn!) stamina cost: -30 any snack will lower the stamina cost by half!

------

thank you for taking the time to read this guide! i hope it helps :) good luck training~

[How to 1200 City of Affluence Guide]

This is a guide for some tips and tricks I’ve found to get an all 1200 chibi in the City of Affluence. Since you will need some specific card skills, magic biscuits and a lot of luck on your side, this will be geared more towards advanced players. If anyone has another tip they would like to add, please message me!

Now, before diving into gimmicks, you will need the right team to be able to 1200 City of Affluence. There are many useful card skills to bring along, so here are some of my recommendations.

♡♥♡

Essential Skill: パート開始時、一定の確率でメインキャラの＿＿+50

This skill means “at the beginning of each part, there is a chance for the main character to receive +50 on a certain parameter.” The parameter (passion, happy, relax, etc.) will be determined by the parameter of the card itself. For example, since White Snow Rustica is a happy card, he will have a chance to raise the happy parameter by 50 points at the beginning of each part.

This is essential, so I recommend you bring at least 3 cards with this skill with different parameters. You can easily find these cards by searching パート開始時、一定, but make sure you’re using +50 cards and not +40 cards. While +40 cards also work, it will be more difficult to reach 1200 with them.

Here are my +50 cards. If I was building a team, I could choose Pararoid Rustica, Valentine Chloe, Initial Heathcliff, and Initial Cain since they all have different parameters (Cool, Passion, Pride, and Relax respectively).

Non-Essential Skill: 毎ターンのスタミナ回復量+10 This skill means “after every turn, your stamina will be restored by 10 points.” Since the City of Affluence requires a lot of stamina, this will be extremely useful to bring. As of right now, there are only two SSRs with this skill: Initial Lennox and Prelude Rustica.

Non-Essential Skill: ターン終了時、一定の確率でメインキャラのスタミナ+50 This skill means “at the end of every turn, there will be a chance of your stamina increasing by 50 points.” The probability of this skill activating will rise the lower your stamina drops. As of right now, there are only three SSRs with this skill: Initial Cain, Initial Owen, and Prelude Shylock.

Non-Essential Skill: 一緒に交流すると、10%の確率で成功を大成功にする This skill means “you will have a 10% chance of triggering a great success.” This is the least useful non-essential skill, but it may still be helpful in getting your points up to 1200. You can easily search for this skill with 成功を大成功.

Alright! Time to put it all together! Below is my team build for making a White Snow Rustica chibi. Their relevant card skills are as follows:

Pararoid Rustica: Cool +50, 10% Great Success

Prelude Rustica: +10 Stamina Restore

Initial Heathcliff: Pride +50, 10% Great Success

Initial Cain: Relax +50, +50 Stamina Restore

White Snow Rustica: Happy +50

Now that we have a team, it’s time to start playing City of Affluence! Make sure to bring 3 biscuits along whether that be Magic Biscuits or Chocolate Biscuits. Magic Biscuits will help you get to 1200, but Chocolate Biscuits will be sufficient for a 999.

♡♥♡

City of Affluence Gimmick

The most important factor for 1200-ing City of Affluence is unfortunately... luck. Success in this location largely depends on your Tea Party Level and how fast you can raise it.

Your Tea Party Level increases every 5 Interaction Levels which is determined by adding all of your parameter levels together. I've started with as low as 7 Interaction Levels and as high as 16 Interaction Levels. I believe what you get is entirely up to chance, but if anyone can figure out the system, please let me know!

Now why is this important?

Your Tea Party Level determines the different kinds of tea you can serve. A new tea will be unlocked with each level except Special Tea which can appear at random any time.

To serve tea, you will need to raise the Preparation Level. The Preparation Level will...

+15% every successful turn

+10% for every parameter gain outside of training such as skills like the +50 cards or sub-episodes

-10% every failed turn

For our purposes, you will want to focus on Iced Tea since it will boost your parameter levels fastest, even if Herbal Tea is unlocked from the beginning.

Additionally, parameters will increase the more you interact with them. As a result, I like to interact with ONE parameter until it levels up—usually the one with the lowest parameter level. For example, in the picture below, I tapped on the passion parameter until it went from level 1 to level 2. Then, I moved onto the cool parameter.

The purpose of choosing low-leveled parameters is because the max parameter level is 10. If you have level 9 or 10 parameters, it might be better to switch to Herbal Tea to ensure you don't waste a turn.

What is the goal of raising Tea Party Level?

Essentially, you want to raise your Tea Party Level to 5 by the beginning of part 3. At Tea Party Level 5, you will permanently unlock Special Tea and the ability to serve two teas at a time.

It can be difficult to get to Tea Party Level 5 at the beginning of part 3. However, this is important because you will need a 100% Preparation Level and full or near-full stamina bar by the END of part 3.

♡♥♡

Now here's where we 1200!

At 2 turns from the end of part 3, serve a Blended Tea and Special Tea (with sweets if you have them). The following turn, activate all 3 of your Magic/Chocolate Biscuits that you brought with you. Then, interact with a parameter that you do NOT have a +50 bonus card for. In my team build above, since I have a +50 card for Cool, Pride, Relax, and Happy parameters, I would interact with the Passion parameter.

This should give your chosen parameter a significant bonus, potentially leveling it to 1200. (As an extra tip, you may want to avoid interacting with this parameter in the first two parts since it will be heavily boosted here).

♡♥♡

-> If you did NOT reach 100% Preparation Level by turn 2, activate your Biscuits on the last turn anyways. Your Biscuit bonus WILL carry over to part 4 which may be useful.

-> If you did NOT reach Tea Party Level 5 by part 3, serve Special Tea. The 30% bonus will carry over to part 4.

Now, at the start of part 4, your +50 cards should be activating. However, because of your Biscuit and Special Tea bonus, instead of +50, they should raise your parameters by +390 each (if you are using 3 Magic Biscuits; Chocolate Biscuits will give you a lower increase).

You should now have close to 1200 on all parameters! All that's left to do is to use the rest of part 4 to clean up those stats (which is where your great success cards may come in handy). Enjoy your new 1200 chibi and pray that it ends up being the correct one!

Hello everyone, I am blasting you with MahoYaku propaganda in honor of the stage plays being on YouTube for free for the next week! For any of y’all curious enough to try out the game, or at least wanting to try reading the stories, I am here to provide links!

Game Guide + Translations

Translation Masterlist

Stage Play: Part 1, Part 2 (Available until April 29th!)

[rielity]

Hello! A friend and I set up the Mahoyaku Resource Masterlist last year, containing translations, guides and all sorts of useful resources for the mobile game Mahoutsukai no Yakusaku (MHYK/Promise of Wizard) by coly! 

Today’s the 1st year anniversary of the masterlist, so I figured I’d share it here; hopefully it can come in useful for someone out there! 

Reblogs appreciated!!

Casually copies Naiad’s idea for posts like this

a guide as to how “Snow” is portrayed here;

Snow is capable of switching his appearance at free will (as all witches/wizards are in mahoyaku), so he often changes between a appearance that people consider to look “younger” and then his “true” appearance. I refer to this as his “preferred appearance” and his “true appearance”. He RARELY uses his true appearance as he is not the fondest of it and prefer to be someone considered “cute”, rather then “handsome” or “mature”.

I write Snow as being AFAB and while this does not matter to much as wizards can freely change their bodies to be however they wish them to be, he will still sometimes present in a more traditional feminine way. Regardless of how he presents, he always wants to be referred to with he/him pronouns and he/him pronouns only. 

Both before and after white’s death, snow and white were connected innately. They were able to experience each-others emotions and pain very easily and it only became worse after Snow connected White’s soul to him. He is able to know when White is sad, angry, hurt, and the same goes for White. 

Snow feels intense guilt about killing his own twin brother but is not above talking about it so long as someone’s questioning isn’t malicious- Though he can be tone deaf himself even when questioning his own dead brother on things. He is always learning about a situation he put himself in and sometimes has moments of intense depression and guilt. He also has intense moments of anger where he will lash out at the first person who even dares ask about the situation.

Please do not treat him as if he is an incapable child just because of his appearance. He is an adult, being 2000+ years old and perfectly capable of looking like what society considers an adult, he simply does not want too. I portray him as being 4′11 in his preferred form, which is the same height as I am in real life. Please do not infantize him.

What if I start reblogging that one "beginner's guide to mahoyaku" post I really like, like-- every month until the anime drops? Yaknow what, I'll do it.
