Precedence	20
Letter Designation	POEM
Page Type	Rule
Mortality	Mortal
Description	A rule located in the Book of Poetry may be referred to as a poem. Poems have no effect on the game. However, these rules maintain the game properties and relationships of any entities defined in the Rule, such that if the rules are moved to another book, the game properties and relationships of the entities defined in the Rule are the same as when the Rule became a poem.
Page Changes	New pages may not be added to the Book of Poems. Pages may not be moved to or from the Book of Poems by proposal, but may be moved whenever the rules specify that this happens, regardless of the page change requirements of the book that the page is moved to or from. The game properties and relationships of any game entities defined by a Poem may be modified by a proposal. Rules in the Book of Poems may also be amended or repealed by proposal. All of these proposals require a simple majority of voting players in favor to pass.

A more complete version of the quotation (i.e. one that quotes a longer segment of the original post) shall be preserved over a less complete version. In choosing between two or more identical quotations of equal length, the one with the lowest page number shall be preserved.

Precedence	384
Letter Designation	BS
Page Type	Spell
Mortality	Transient
Description	The Spellbook contains Spells. Whenever a random Spell is chosen from it, the probability of any particular Spell being chosen is directly proportional to its Abundance. Exactly one Spell must be selected. Each player has a list of Spell names, known as his Hand. He may only Cast Spells in his Hand, and when he does so, that Spell is removed from it. At the start of each turn, every player with fewer Spells than the Hand Size gains one random Spell from the Spellbook. Each player may discard a Spell, removing it from his Hand, once per game week. Players may attempt to Cast a Spell at any time during a turn. The player Casting a Spell (its Caster) must state any information requested by the Spell as part of the action. When a player declares his intent to Cast a Spell, if its Condition matches the current game state, and the Caster possesses Mana that match the Cost, that Mana is removed from the Player's MList, the Spell is removed from his Hand, and the Cast (a note of the Spell, the Caster, and any additional information that particular Spell requires) is added to the Stack. During each interim, each Cast in the Stack is taken in last-in-first-out order, and has any Effect evaluated. Spell Effects may modify the Stack contents. Each Cast is removed from the Stack immediately after its Effect is evaluated. The details of all changes to the stack made since the most recent turn start are viewable by all players.
Page Changes	Spells may be added, removed, or changed by a proposal.

Page List	Page List
Precedence	405
Letter Designation	CAD
Page Type	Persistent Event
Mortality	Mortal
Description	The Current Affairs Digest tracks lasting effects caused by game events.
Page Changes	Persistent Events are added to the CAD when a page describes an event as "Persisting as" some clearly marked text. (eg "This event Persists as 'flooble klooble'.", or "...as this paragraph:") This string may contain parameters - strings enclosed in square brackets, [thus]. Parameters (including their brackets) are replaced by the text they describe before the page is created, in a grammatically correct manner. For example, "[the administrator]" becomes "Jef" at the time of writing. Any square brackets in a Parameter's value are ignored. If any Parameter's name contains any square brackets, or the string contains any non-matched square brackets prior to substitution, the event containing the "Persisting as" clause fails. Once Parameter substitution is complete, a Persistent Event is created in the CAD, with the smallest permitted number as its title, the page describing the event that Persisted as its Source, and the fully-substituted string as its text. A Persistent Event's precedence is initially the same as that of the page that describes it. Persistent Events may only be removed by events described as doing so in a page. The Persistent Event or Events to be removed may be specified in any manner, as long as all Persistent Events are clearly either included in the set or not. Persistent Events may not be modified.
