There will be sad endings &#8211; don\u2019t flinch from them. Enjoy the drama, watch your characters change, and play to see how the story unfolds.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"bold\" data-redactor-span=\"true\"><strong>Characters in Mystic Lilies are made to cause drama.<\/strong><\/span> Use magic to shapeshift, possess non-player characters, and hunt people down &#8211; even into their dreams. When you&#8217;re down on your luck and looking for revenge, it&#8217;s time to up the ante with your Incident &#8211; a game-changing, slow-burn spell that drives the story to a climax.
