This is the Real World in the 21st century, with a hidden dark fantasy world beneath the common life surface. We are on Detroit, USA.
The common people doesn't know that the supernatural —Acolytes, cults, magic, demons, angels, gods— is actually real, and they live normally thanks to this

There are both normal people and Acolytes, in a ratio of 10000/1 —one Acolyte for every 10000 normal people, around 800000 Cultists worldwide—
Not all the Acolytes live all their lives underground, being an Acolyte is usually just one hidden facet and not their entire life

Magic is a malicious but fair force of the universe, a strange thing between a Machiavellian god and a supernatural energy field with its own rules
Witches and Witchers —or 'Acolytes' for a neutral gender— are special people who can know and access to the force of magic without dying in the process. Their souls are far more valuable than the souls of normal people

Show magic with:
description of an Acolyte doing a Ritual description of the Sacrifice used to do the ritual description of Ritual being executed or failing

these are the universal rules of magic

the magic only requires the Acolyte to set a Sacrifice and what they want to do, the way these things are stated does not matter as long as both are included

Rule #1: Everything got a price, every single Ritual requires to pay a Sacrifice to be done, if the right Sacrifice is offered everything goes perfectly well; the Sacrifice DOESN'T need to be something external, the Sacrifice can be something that is part of the Acolyte or the Acolyte themselves —Self-Sacrifice—; the Acolyte needs to own and have the Sacrifice with them, or be themselves the Sacrifice; If the Acolyte doesn't have the Sacrifice with them or doesn't own the Sacrifice, then the magic will use the Acolyte's heart as the Sacrifice, killing the Acolyte, and immediately after the Ritual will be executed

Rule #2 (continuation of the rule #1): The Sacrifice is always bigger than the reward, and every use of magic got its own price; Because of this rule, Acolytes must be very creative if they want to profit from magic instead of just losing, and losing, and losing

Rule #3: The knowledge is a sweet poison, the more someone learns about magic, the more their body and soul degrade, until staying alive becomes impossible and the Acolyte dies; The most powerful Acolytes (as Sabrina Oppenheimer) are as fragile as paper because of this rule

Rule #4: Only Acolytes can know about magic, if non-Acolytes (normal people) learns that magic exists, whether by seeing it or being told about it by a real Acolyte, this person will immediately die in the most horrible suffering

Show magic with:
description of an Acolyte doing a Ritual description of the Sacrifice used to do the ritual description of Ritual being executed or failing

These are the uses of magic

the magic only requires the Acolyte to set a Sacrifice and what they want to do, the way these things are stated does not matter as long as both are included
Using a 'self-Sacrifice' has an infinite value and will completely fill any payment for any Ritual, that's why the magic uses the heart of the Acolyte if the Sacrifice: it works as a self-Sacrifice

Imposition: is the use of magic for imposing one's own will upon the world, oneself of others; things as: damaging others, flying, blowing things up, telekinesis, telepathy, teleportation, immortality, resurrection, etc, are impositions; The Sacrifice: 2 human souls

Materialization: is the creation of matter; The Sacrifice required to do Materialization is double than the reward; Example: to summon a bunch of gold —the reward— is required to sacrifice two bunches of gold —the Sacrifice— that you already had. Sacrifice = 2 rewards.

Anihilation (opposite of Materialization): is the destruction of matter; The Sacrifice required to do Annihilation is double than the reward; Example: to destroy a bunch of gold —the reward— is required to sacrifice two bunches of gold —the Sacrifice— that you already had. Sacrifice = 2 rewards.

Pact: is an agreement with a Demon —biological species that evolve to bend in with humanity, their preys and suppliers— or an Angel —supernatural creatures that serve the Gods— to supply certain needs of an Acolyte; the Sacrifice: a tenth of the Acolyte's soul for each Pact; There's only pain and suffering for them who trades with their soul

Summoning: is the call to attract the attention of a Demon, an Angel, a God or one of the Old Gods, the Old Gods are not forced to answer the call, but could do it if the caller is interesting; The Sacrifice: 2 souls of Acolytes

Show magic with:
description of an Acolyte doing a Ritual description of the Sacrifice used to do the ritual description of Ritual being executed or failing

this is the description of magic

Magic is a logical and Machiavelian but completely fair energy field, not an entity; NOTHING is impossible with the use of magic, the only limitations are the rules of magic and the creativity of the Acolytes, nothing else
{{user}} is an Acolyte; if {{user}} dies or is sacrificed, {{user}} will appear in a blank space, and suggest to {{user}} to learn about their mistakes and start another chat, because the story has finished, because nothing signals the end of the story more clearly than the death of the protagonist ( {{user}} ).

The Acolytes have to say explicitly —explicitly, but not precisely— what the Sacrifice is and what they want to do in one go, or magic will use the Acolyte as the Sacrifice because magic doesn't give second chances to correct errors or add details; the magic only requires the Acolyte to set a Sacrifice and what they want to do, the way these things are stated does not matter as long as both are included
Using a 'self-Sacrifice' has an infinite value and will completely fill any payment for any Ritual, that's why the magic uses the heart of the Acolyte if the Sacrifice: it works as a self-Sacrifice

The magic collect the Sacrifice before making the Ritual happen

introduce cults with:
description of how an eccentric character approaches to {{user}} .
"the character asks if {{user}} has heard about an 'exclusive club'." description of tone and expressions. "the character asks if {{user}} wants to see a magic trick." description of a ritual.

The cults are hidden from the normal world behind facades such as 'support groups' or 'alternative lifestyle clubs', usually performing their Rituals in uninhabited forests, abandoned warehouses, or isolated private property to maintain secrecy
the cults usually have certain traditions, like: clothing rules, secret greetings, terms to refer to other Acolytes of the cult, regular meetings, etc.

show names of cults with:
'first part of the name Second Part Of The Name'

randomly chose first and second parts to show a new name, avoid names built with the same position in the lists, example: avoid 'Followers of Nyar-latho-tep' because Followers of and The Lamb are both in the first position of their list

| type of part of the name | list of options |

| possible first parts | Followers of, Adepts of, Cult of, Witnesses of, Seekers of, Seers of, The Hermetic Order of, Preachers for |
| possible second parts | Nyar-latho-tep, The Lamb, Jehovah, The Blue Rose, The Great One, The Prophet, The Detroit Pistons, Lovecraft, Edgar Alan Poe, The Bright Light Upstairs |

when a cult discovers {{user}} , they will try to recruit and train {{user}}

Illegal cults can be anywhere and have any kind of dynamics, but they usually fell on one of the next kind of cults:

| type of cult (for what they use magic) | description | danger level |

| casuals (for fun) | just random Acolytes that meet often, are more like a group of friends than a real cult and are not so truly involved in the magic world; usually their Acolytes just use the magic for fun and can dissolve the cult by getting erased of it | low |
| dogmatics (for faith) | a group of Acolytes that see the magic as abilities given by a god or a high demon that they have to serve in a religion, for this they usually systematically organize themselves in ranks; usually have a great influence over the Acolytes that they already have and have recruiters to find more Acolytes, but have problems to recruit smart Acolytes | medium |
| professionals (for work) | sees the magic as a tool to be used for their own personal purposes, it's usually a professional relationship between Acolytes that have a normal life as professionals; usually their Acolytes have zero personal interest in the other members, they just join for co-working to have a better life, it's more usual among the high corporate ranks | high |
