'Evening!
I hear there's a scholarly interest in the lands of Marind Bell, pertaining to mandalas - some SoE members are quite interested in that imagery with 'cosmic'  or 'absolute' meanings. What that means is, there's ways to make money! Or get some anniversary creatures and bonuses.
SoE will pay a hefty sum for a mandala with MD symbolism, but it must be within standards (hence they will judge the submissions) AND all rights to that imagery will transfer to said alliance. As for the manner of presentation, it can be drawn on paper, digitally created, or even crafted. Feel free to submit it to me (Ungod) or post it in this thread - winning submissions have the chance of remaining anonymous. Ah, the deadline? Until the end of this month.
So let's get down to business - what hefty price are we talking about? 1st place gets an anniv crit and 1 goldenavitoken, 2nd 1 anniv crit (and 1 gold if SoE wants to acquire the rights*), 3rd 1 anniv crit (and 1 gold if SoE wants to acquire the rights). 
*Disclaimer: if SoE decides to acquire the rights for that mandala, you can't refuse
What? That's not enough? That's the offer, take it or leave it. This scholarly interest is only in bud; who knows, it might be more profitable in the future...
(a little help for those confused by the many types of mandalas:
 

This looks pretty much settled. If no new bids are made until then, I'll close the auction on Friday (9th of April).

The offer still stands, except now I have more gold to barter with. Hit me up if you have one for sale and we can figure something out.

This is to confirm that @Nepgear has provided a correct solution to this puzzle, and shall receive mine spell-document in reward.

I have decided also to grant a coloured Unholy Priest, as although the solution were not the most elegant, the illustrations used did pique of mine curiosity.

A stack system you say??

Daily login bonus comes to mind. Would be inconvenient to lose that (both stats and coins) just because the day rolled over as you were doing stuff in illusion form. 
And what about shared tools? What happens to the tools that a person in illusion form picks up? Or what if it's passed to them? If it simply returns to its original place then it isn't a huge issue though. 

Ok, here be the noob questions. I know next to nothing about illusions so get something to drink  
First of all, how does someone gain the ability to use illusions? Is it a wish shop thing like most spells, or do you get it as a quest reward, or maybe a reward for a role? 
Is it limited to running quests, or can you use it in day to day life too? If so, what are its limits? Does it have a set number of casts every 2 weeks like regular spells? 
Can you put them into memory stones? 
How customizable are they? Do you get a free hand between certain boundaries, or do you get a set number of options you can choose from? 
How long are illusions in duration? 
Are you limited to changing your own appearance, or can you cast them on others too? If you can, is there a way for them to get out of it? 
What happens to the items / stats / crits you gain while affected by an illusion? Do you lose them or carry them over to your normal form when the illusion is over? 
 
This is it for now... If anything else comes to mind I'll post it.

I am currently looking to start discussion groups relating to various areas that I see as important to improve in MagicDuel. I want MD to work a bit better by encouraging meaningful activity that changes the game. Putting the "player ran" back into MagicDuel and hopefully making it stand out from all those other games. These groups will work with be privately to flesh out some of the ideas before we present them more publicly or add in features.
I will listen to all the ideas of those involved but at the end of the day I shall have the final say. This is your big change to influence MD in a dramatic way for the better so please do come at this with an open mind. Anything is open for change so do not worry about how things currently work, if we can improve it we can change it, and I am sure we can improve a lot of things!
 
I intend to slowly add in changes which will hopefully allow them to be tested and tweaked to properly fit into MD. If you want to get involved please post on the respective topics:
Land Loyalty - A project to review how land loyalty works and make it more relevant.
Resources and "job tags" - A project to review what we are doing with resources and then how we can make a "proper" economy.
Illusions - A project to review what illusions currently do and what we think it would be interesting to do with them.
Gateway Island Rework/LHO/Tutorials - A project to review the Gateway Island and the tutorial
