And I'm getting along real well with Zem in and out of game, so I just want him alive forever (In fact, I have no kill, so I don't get to say who dies, and I would have been SO HAPPY to tell the game of a maf inspect on him, though I would have considered chances of redirection in that case as well - least now I don't need to really try to read him for alignment, which is great.)

Sure. (Chocobo was a materia in FF7, after all.)

You're in good company; I got stuck on the library puzzle.

FF7 was merely one point of inspiration, no knowledge required.  I never finished it, but I did get all the way to the final dungeon. Maybe one day I'll replay (the remake perhaps).

What happens if a member of the Mafia spends the Evil materia on a meta action?

Then they no longer have a kill. I could see it being useful in some niche cases to do that.

What if the Evil materia is destroyed by some other means?

The materia are/will be designed so that won't be an issue unless the mafia team want it to be an issue. If they assign their Evil materia to a slot, it won't be messed with.

Just to be safe, and to fit with the theme of the game, I might put in a rule that has the Evil return as one of their random xp at the start of the next day if it's destroyed (through Meta or somehow something else). I'll see what emerges out of the remaining materia I'm still writing up.

First materia pass is almost complete— I think I only have four materia left to define — and then I'll take a (shorter) second pass for editing/balancing and then I'll make a start to the game.

There's still a little time then if anyone else wants to join.

edit: First pass is done, random materia are assigned. Last chance for any stragglers.

Day One

The eleven alchemists met at the moot swathed in sulpherous vapors.

"Three of our number have broken the sacred creed," one alchemist intones. "They have made the Evil materia. And for that wicked crime they must be destroyed."

But the apostate alchemists in their midsts had other plans. With their Evil they had the means to destroy the other alchemists and start a new era of alchemy!
