Overview

WELCOME!
Congratulations on successfully traveling the Novice Path and arriving safe and (mostly) sound at Orilium! Before we dive into the world of magic and wonder, In the words of our illustrious leader G, "We really need to gear our asses up."

And we begin, here.

Per usual, disclaimer, this readathon and its associated content is all the brain child of the wonderful Book Roast over on YouTube. I highly recommend you check her out. She deserves all the love. This StoryGraph Challenge is made as tool for myself (and the friends I am forcing to join me) to support my efforts to join the Magical Readathon when it occurs live every April and August. You DO NOT have to check every box and complete every side quest to join in with the Magical Readathon! All students are welcome at any time.

I just take my play VERY seriously. 😊

HOW IT WORKS!
You've made it to the school! Yay! Now for a shopping montage. Enter G's text:

"Congratulations, you have made it to Orilium! Whilst you enjoy your free time roaming the city, make sure to stop by the Hall of the Phoenix Fire to pick your conduit and visit your Guild's Conclave to learn what Legacy Gifts are an option for you."

G has beautiful narratives and imagery dedicated to further describing the use and purpose of conduits and legacy gifts. You can find them here!

In essence, this readathon is a two prompt (aka two book readathon). You will choose one prompt that will represent the conduit you would like, as well as one prompt that will represent the Legacy Gift you would like. These prompts, barring a few general items, are sorted by Guild, meaning in the mechanics of this readathon you can (mostly) only select conduits and legacy gifts that are offered to your Guild. You would have discovered your Guild in the Novice Path Readathon or you can discover it now by taking this quiz.

(Disclaimer: this is technically a manual quiz so you still have to calculate it yourself but the google forms gives it an easier format)  

As a mini readathon, the intention was for this readathon to be done in a week. You're your own boss tho. This challenge will not expire.
 
ADDITONAL INFO! (FOR RULE BREAKERS)
As far as I know, two is MINIMUM but it says no where that you can't have more than one conduit. You do get only one legacy gift. But if you wanted to rack up a nice inventory, don't let me stop you. Read as many as you want! Collect as much as you want! The world is your oyster.

G has also mentioned that if you wanted to include a conduit NOT on the list, go for it. She theorizes that many students would have already had access to magic before coming to the school and might already have picked a conduit or received one as inheritance. If there is a magical item that you would like to include that has not been listed, feel free to sub it in for an existing conduit on the list that it is most similar to. For example, if I had a really badass magical necklace I might use the prompt for Crystal, or if I had sick enchanted gauntlets I might use the prompt for Bone (idk it makes sense in my head). Or honestly, just make your own prompt. Don't let random forms on the internet tell you how to live your life.   

THAT'S A WRAP!
And that's it! This one is nice and simple....unlike Spring Equinox. But that's a future problem! Happy Reading and see you on the other side!💜💜
