Attack: None

Defense: None

we gucci

Summary: You are an unsuccessful magician working for organized crime.

really good summary, fan of this one

Abilities:

- Reverse 2 peoples' abilities each night.

why 2 people?

Attributes:

- You may reverse a member of the Mafia or yourself two times.. (Maybe remove?)

why is this even necessary

- If there are no other capable Mafia Killing, you will become a Mafioso.

nice

Mechanics:

- Reversing abilities makes it so one person would perform the other person's ability on their original selected target. For example, you can make a Doctor kill a person they were intending to heal. Lookouts will also see the Doctor visiting their target, so it would make them look like a killer.

oooh, that kind of reversing

- The same messages will be shown to the other person. For example, if you switch an Escort and a Serial Killer, the Escort's target will show up as stabbed by a Serial Killer the next day.

they escort won't know that the actually killed the target, though, right?

- If only one of your targets has 2 targets chosen, the second target will stay the same.

alright

- Targets will get a message telling them their ability was reversed.

'''oh. that. why? will they be told who/what role it was reversed with?'''

- You may reverse yourself, in that case you will perform your other targets ability on them, and they will be blocked

alright

Investigation Results:

Sheriff: Your target is a member of the Mafia!

good, no sheriff nerf

Investigator: Your target could be an Escort, Transporter, Consort, Hypnotist, or Reverser.

'''fitting. 2-2-1-0, which is pretty good.'''

Consigliere: Your target switches things using magic. They must be a Reverser!

'''that is really boring. could be better :P'''

Additional Changes:

- Hypnotist will be able to send the message "You feel magic in the air. Your abilities were reversed!"

that's cool Main points:

+One thing this role has to it is simplicity. Though the ability itself isn't the easiest thing to understand, this does have just one ability that works on one or two people each night. That's good.

+This role is new. Originality is always wekcome, and it's pretty obvious no other role does anything like this, mafias or not. Speaking of which, this role has a magic theme, which is why I question its faction. It's theme says coven, and it's ability says neutral. Why is this a mafia role?

+Also pretty good balancing. One hand you really fuck with abilities, which can be a really strong type of ability, though the targets do get told they were targetted, which does plenty to balance this.

-Not many improvements I can see here, aside from the consigliere result, which is easily fixable.

Overall, I'd give this a

"pretty good"/10 IGN

That's all, you know what you're doing :P I'm considering moving this to Coven but Coven is for WITCHES not WIZARDS which is one of the main reasons I don't post a lot of Coven roles.
