Hello witches, wizards, and other magical fellows!

As September begins, we are excited to announce the winner of last month's giveaway, as well as announce this month's new prompt!

In August, we had so many incredible pieces of art submitted that fit the beach activities theme. From adorable comics to impressive renders, our artist community outdid themselves once again! And so, without further ado, the August winner is… Dismana! They will receive the prize of a $5.00 Gift Card and 100 House Points today.

Now onto the September giveaway & theme!

To reiterate, the Monthly Art Giveaway is a way for players to create any art form (MC build, render, drawing, writing, craft, etc.) while fitting a specific theme. One winner will be randomly picked at the end of the month, and will receive a $5.00 Gift Card and 100 House Points!

With the Butterbrew Event well underway, we thought it fitting for this month's prompt to follow the theme of carnivals! This can be related to our very own event, your experiences at carnivals in the non-magical world, and much more!

Greetings witches and wizards,

We are excited to announce the release of our long-awaited Discord Suggestions Forums! Players will now have the opportunity to submit their feedback and suggestions via the #suggestions-forums channel on our Discord server! We hope that this will bring more discussion, engagement, and accessibility to our forum format.

These forums will adhere to all regular Discord rules which can be found here, as well as guidelines set out by the Poltergeist team, who will be managing the new forums. These guidelines are in the channel description of our forums channel. We'd also like to remind players that the website forums will still be available for players to use for the foreseeable future!

While using these new forums, please keep in mind that this is a completely new system for us, so there may be some issues to work out along the way as we actively use this new platform.

We would also like to take this time to address our recent internal restructure of the Poltergeist team’s process.

In order to maximise the potential of not only our team, but also the suggestions process, we have altered our process to make it more streamlined and provide better accountability measures. For all new forum posts (both on Discord and the web), we aim to bring these up to the Poltergeist team after 1 week of them being on the forums. Poltergeists then have one week to leave feedback on the threads, before it is sent to the relevant department for their final decision. Departments will have 1-2 weeks to leave a final decision, which is then communicated to players. If a decision is set to be On-Hold, each...

Greetings witches and wizards!

We are looking for people who have a wide range of experience with our current duelling and magic systems to help us play-test an upcoming Magic Patch. These changes range from spell reworks, balancing changes, and the addition of new spells!

Not all applicants will be selected. If you are selected, we will add you to our testing channels on discord, where you will be able to participate in closed play-tests and work with our Engineers to help craft a fantastic future Magic Patch. Additional details will be included for those accepted.

How to signup: If you would like to contribute to the testing/feedback process, please complete the form here.

We will then add you to our list of volunteers! Once you are added, you will receive a message on Friday via Discord with information on how to test and give feedback.

Requirements: Level 51 at the lowest, but we recommend that higher years sign up, otherwise you will have less access to the spells that you're able to test.

NOTE: You have until Thursday August 22nd at 9 PM PST to sign up! The testing period will then run from Friday August 23rd to Monday August 26th.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Harrison (harriiison), Jack (jacquas) or Head of Game Design on Discord!
