Nah. For a few days during the month, all witches and priestesses and lady necromancers lose their powers.
They're also plagued with nausea, cramps, and excessive bleeding.
And look at those horny mammoths!

I dont even
I'm not sure of that. I can't remember if I designed it to go out of sync (guess not), since I probably concluded it was simpler to do it that way instead of running multiple variables. ...Yea, it's done by a specific date range.
Many of the ideas I had for this game were either based on other stuff, or I was like "it'd be cool to add this in."
This one was heavily inspired by Slayers. Though I've never heard of any video game actually using it, it was cool that I got it to work.

While I suppose that's a relatively unique idea, menstruation is one of those real-life annoyances that people play games to escape.
Also, I find tying a female's powers to her menstrual cycle and using that to de-power her once in a while to be a little insulting, personally. You'll notice that the Slayers anime did that once during the first season and then it never came up again. I'm guessing they realized how stupid it was as well.

It's part of balance, because spellcasters (predominantly female, except for Elias, and Michael who is probably sexless anyway) effectively rule in this game. They also get the best elemental defense gear.
Actually, Slayers discontinued it because they found out their audience was mostly female. That said, with some clever writing, they probably could have addressed it sensitively. I have no idea what my audience is, and since it took alot to put it in, I'm probably leaving it.
Menstrual cycles are a fact of life. I designed this game to be mostly realistic (I have seasons, weather, even a time system that goes up to the year, etc) within the confines of a fantasy world. Within the confines of a fantasy world, what is realistic is that people have periods, and even if it didn't cause "power loss" as I decided, it would hurt so much you wouldn't be able to focus on spell-casting. Or should I belittle the pain of women, by pretending it doesn't exist?

And here was I thinking it made them stronger, as a sort of Rage Induced Kill Everything and Everyone Who Pisses Me Off Die Die DIE kinda thing. You know, how it really is and all that?
You can bet if I lived in a world where giant critters lived who were trying to annoy me at that time, there would be a trail of bloody carnage through the once-Mystic Caverns. Bad enough having to deal with my own body being a bitch to me, let alone having to deal with other people/creature's shit too. Nah, I'd fuck everything up, mage or not. Fuck the typecast. Gimme a sword. I'll destroy all the things.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. They can't use magic because it hurts, but maybe PMS does have some serious advantages.
Honestly, it's been scientifically proven that due to the flow and ebb of estrogen in the body, during PMS our estrogen levels are at an all time low, meaning our testosterone levels are higher by default. What does this mean? During PMS women are acting MORE LIKE MEN.
So, you know, if your men aren't affected by the whole BEING A MAN WITH TESTOSTERONE COURSING THROUGH THEIR VEINS thing, then women shouldn't be either.
Well, men in my game cosmos are more physical and less magical, so it still sorta makes sense. The rationale is that these hormones are distracting them, and while not necessarily weakening them, that sort of distraction makes it difficult to cast spells.
And yet how many millions of women have to go and focus on work every time they have their periods? In every field? The world has yet to implode from a woman being distracted by her own body so why should the hormones distract them at all? Seriously, you get used to this kind of shit and end up just saying 'fucking cramps, uh, need a tampon. Oh, customer? :smile: Hi, how are you? Oh, that's nice.' and just get on with the job. Only when they're really bad to they distract and in that case you can't move or be bothered to. You'd definitely be sitting battles out. In fact, if they're all synched at once, I could see them just resting at an inn until it's over if the pain (and it's not hormones, it's pain) is so bad that they can't do what they usually do.
Hell, it's like if you got hit. Make it realistic. Do you drop your casting when you are hit by an enemy it this game? I'm going to assume no. Then why would you not be able to cast on your period? Pain? Realism my ass.
Look, I'm sure it sounded like a neat idea but honestly, there are better ways to disable your casters from casting. Hell, how about a magical illness that they can contract that's like a cold and spreads? How about the phases of the moon instead? A full moon increases their casting power while a dark moon/no moon removes it? That way you could still use time and dates but have it tied not to women in general but spell casters instead.

With respect, I think there is a fantasy world equivalent of Midol as a consumable, and pads as an equip, so it is not that big a deal. They do go on with their lives, it's just a condition that the game programmed in to work with the calendar. I wanted a calendar condition, and that's literally what I could think of first, being a giant perv (btw, the cycles are no longer in sync, so they are not all disabled at once). I could probably even work in a random "cold" and "flu" season if I wanted. If I could ever get this game to update. At this point, I can't even take it out.
The lunar phases has been done (FFIV: After Story, I think it was). The cold thing, yea, that would be okay too. I wouldn't know how to get it to "spread" though. The reason I latched on this was because (1) it encouraged gender mixing vs "well the women have the best magic and the best immunity armor" (they do) so why bother with the guys, and because (2) the gender balance in terms of characters generally favors women (there is almost a 2:1 ratio of females to males in the party). While you could conceivably do all-female parties, I wanted there to be some kind of risk system in place so you'd swap out the party periodically (you can't have an all-male party either, because Ambrosia is an insistent leader and refuses to leave the party), and (3) it does sorta make sense (if I were a woman and I was $*@%&ing tired, headache, cranky, and bleeding out of my crotch, I'm pretty sure if spells took concentration, it would be gone). Granted, yes colds also work ("Abraca...achoo!") but I think colds happened in Earthbound, along with heatstroke.
I'd ideally like casting to have a percent fail, versus outright fail. But yea, I can't update, so it's basically stuck.

I'm not sure if I agree with the assessment of losing powers during a woman's cycle, especially since research shows that paranormal activity actually increases during menstruation. It's one of the things that's studied as a way of debunking ghosts. The big problems with proving the existence of ghosts are inconsistent evidence and results that cannot be reproduced. In the study of poltergeists, one of the things that is actually observed is that activity that can be documented is often in the presence of a child in puberty, more often female and that activity increases with menstruation. Activity is characterized by an increase in electrical phenomena. The objects that allegedly fly around the room are metal or have metal in them (consider the anecdotal stories you've heard about things being thrown at people. "I was in the kitchen and suddenly the pots and pans started flying at me." "I was in the living room and picture frames started flying off the shelves".) Light switches flip on and off by themselves, lights frequently flicker and go out. Apparitions caught on film, if not faked, could possibly be the result of static buildup affecting the light.
It should be noted that in hauntings in which activity can be documented, activity often heightens in the area of electrical equipment and in several cases, high activity occurs in buildings in which the electrical system was improperly installed and poorly shielded. The presence of chemicals and mold are also largely responsible as these things can adversely affect the senses. Now, I'm not saying I don't believe in ghosts. I do. But when I was doing investigations, I found that there was very little that actually couldn't be explained with simple science, and activity often increased in the presence of young teenage children and menstruating women. I am actually convinced that psychic power increases during menstruation. It's control that decreases. A more accurate depiction here might be a lower success rate for spell casting, meanwhile bizarre random effects occur without warning throughout the fight.

This reminds me of a (somewhat NSFW) story.
My reaction to the image above is similar to the one I had when I read that the first time.
I rate the periods on worst to low by
Makoto (worst)
Usagi
Rei
Ami
Minako (least terrible)
In which Makoto has the worst in the way of cramps, sore spots, and tenderness. Her moods don’t suffer much, but I suspect she does a lot more crying in frustration over simple things (and this is the major indicator that ‘oh god, it’s coming’). Her blood flow is a freaking massacre and you know Makoto is paranoid of bleeding on EVERYTHING. Even when her sheets are clean, she changes them anyway. She’s completely aware, twenty four seven, that she’s going to bleed on everything around her.
Nothing is safe.
Skirt? It’s going to show through class. Run to the bathroom to check.
God, no white jeans. No jeans at all. She’s limited on soap and she gonna wear them down cleaning the strains—better go change her pad and also put on sweats.
The cramps she can take (even if every once a while she wakes up feeling like she died again); I think on her third day, they’re at its worse It’s more of her over sensitive breasts. She can’t lay down in anyway that doesn’t give her an ache. Forget about slumber parties, Usagi; if she wasn’t already freaking out about bleeding on everything, she sure as hell can’t be used as a pillow.
Makoto’s blessing will come in birth control pills. Once she has those, everything becomes a little more tolerable. Okay, she’s still washing her sheets every night but still.
Usagi, now, is a whiner and also lazy as fuck. The type of girl that takes leakage as a normal thing. Mostly because Mama knows just the thing to get all stains out so why worry? It’s fine. It’s fiiiine. She sure as hell isn’t someone who gives a shit about how to sleep in bed, that’s for sure.
Cramps and food are the more obvious issues for her. At the same time her pain is torturing her, her stomach is demanding every sugary, salty, sweet piece of junkfood in the planet. More than usual. She needs it. She needs everything. Her hotwater bottle (which you know is adorably decorated) is her best friend—her other best friend is her phone. So she can literally mass text everyone and tell them just how bad she’s doing. And if you think Usagi’s emotional on a normal day—see her when her mood swings fling to impossible levels. Ami has managed to send her into tears just by saying she should rest and not use the energy to text.
Minako, you know, fucking ignores her. Makoto promises to bring her all the chocolatey goodness she can, but she really doesn’t want to listen about Usagi’s cramps.
Rei, as you might figure, is seconds away from going over to Usagi’s house, shoving pills down her throat, and then yelling at her until she falls asleep. No, she does not care if she ruined another pair of undies. Lay down on the damn heatpad, Usagi. Don’t cry at me!
Mamoru is absolutely out of his depth. For once, he can’t muster up any words of comfort. What does he say? What does he do? HE CAN’T THROW A ROSE AT YOUR VAGINA, USAKO. PLEASE STOP CRYING. HE’S SORRY YOU’RE IN PAIN BUT HE DOESN’T HAVE A SPEECH FOR THE WONDERS OF MENSTRUAL CYCLES. HE DIDN’T PLAN THIS FAR AHEAD.
Usagi is, for once, completely alone in this.
Rei, I feel, is the girl whose period is at its worse during the first few days and then it’s as if its not even happening.
But during those few days, Rei could probably drown the world in her blood and it still wouldn’t be enough to quench her unending rage. Everywhere Rei goes, she hates. God forbid a youma attacks, because she will overkill it. Her mood swings are the stuff of legends and of course, Rei being who she is, she makes sure everyone feels exactly what she’s feeling.
If she has to suffer the fact that her womb is empty for another mouth, then screw it, SO DOES EVERYONE ELSE.
She doesn’t get cramps more so as she does, however, get sore. Usually around her back and her thighs. Don’t touch her, is what I’m saying. Usagi and Minako have their warnings—which is just why Minako HAS to poke her, right? It’s so tempting, Rei! You get so RED, it’s hilarious.
Rei is probably also the type that feels like she’s bleeding more than she really is. So you know she’s walking stiff because she just can’t tell at the moment if she’s okay or not.
After those three days, hell freezes over. She’s calm. She’s free as the wind. It’s as if she didn’t just paint a war path through Tokyo because mother nature hates her (just her; she’s made it very clear to Ami during a text rant that NO NO PERIODS WERE MADE TO SPITE HER SPECIFICALLY AND NO ONE ELSE).
Speaking of Ami, her periods are usually mild at worse and she, as she does everything else, takes it with grace. She watches her calendar like a hawk, so she knows exactly when it’s coming. When she feels it, she has pantie liners out to take the worse of it (no reason to waste her pads, right?), she gets her period pjs out, she changes her sheets, and she stocks up on bath salts and supplies.
Of course she always has pads and tampons for her friends. Especially Makoto (she knows how much she goes through them and how much they cost, so she buys them for her).
Basically, Ami lives in her bath tub for most her period, and comes out as if cleansed. You barely even know she has it—if anything, she might be a little irritated, but that’s about it.
Minako barely has a period. Her flow is low, she hardly gets any more sensitive than she is, her moods don’t change, and her cramps are, at the most, like she ran a mile after eating.
But of course Minako has to suffer like it’s a stab wound and of course EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW HER PAIN.
She puts all her friends on group chat and just goes on and on and on about how much pain she is in. It takes two seconds Rei to hang the fuck up. You can’t hear Ami shaking her head, but you know she is. Makoto just kind of laughs. Usagi RANTS WITH HER.
FOR HOURS.
ABOUT THEIR PAIN.
THE PAIN IN WHICH PASSED FOR MINAKO AFTER FIVE MINUTES
MINAKO.
Then she tries complaining to her mom and you know that goes exactly as it does everything else—Minako whining for some soothing tea, her mom saying to stop whining—she knows she’s not in pain, Minako taking offense, her mom yells, Minako yells, Minako makes tea, screams back at her mother, and then slams the door, vowing that she’s simply not leaving her room for the rest of the night. And she doesn’t.
Artemis takes her complaining as he does everything else. Sweetly, when he knows she’s in actual pain, he’ll slip her some chocolate and rest with her.
And you know these girls are around each other so much that they basically share cycles like SISTERS.
So group chats during all this must be hilariously loud and aggressive. REI REALLY DOESN’T WANT ANY OF THIS CRAP OKAY.

It's not so much "losing powers" as "having trouble concentrating." Spells take concentration. My sister has explained menstruation to me. It's... not fun. In terms of lunar cycles, well maybe. But we have several forces at work here, one of which is that although powers may increase, they may also increase out of control. As in, the inability to focus spells into a neat formation, means you basically only can use huge bursts of mana (trying to cast fireball, and you instead get a long stream of fire that burns the enemy and uses all power at once). Then there's the fact that while menstrual cycle is like a mini-moon phase, it doesn't necessarily coincide with the actual phases of the moon. I also kept Ambrosia's daughter from getting this, since she's a preteen.
Yes, exactly. I could do something where standard spells all grey out and you have some sort of 100% MP spells. I'm going to see if I can update/save my game soon, and update this a bit. I hate this stupid update issue.
Oh god, it's not just a NSFW fanfic. It's a Sailor Moon fanfic.
By popular demand (sorta), my newest update will add some menstrual spells. Most of them will be sorta raw damage spells, but Azrael has a basic "monthly cycle cure" spell (since she's an effect magician, sure, it makes sense for her to undo stuff just like that).
I'm also adding in weather-related status effects, like dust for a sand/dust storm, and chills for cold weather. Along with various medicines for such conditions.
