Attributes format (Clio version)

Attributes format is a form of format faggotry that works well on NovelAI models because it is actually common in the dataset. Clio's version is a bit different from the one used in previous models, but I won't bother going into the details. The important parts are that an entry begins with ----, is followed by the name of the thing you are describing and then Type (optional). After that follow a number of attributes with keywords. The Attributes keyword is apparently very common and works well. You can finish the entry with some additional prose. Separate the attributes entries from your story with a *** and ban ---- to keep the model from generating more of that.

Here's a short example scenario. Try switching out "wizard" for "sorcerer" and The Red should use the other spell. Sometimes the model gets it wrong, but the token probabilities show that it favors the correct option.

----
Magic schools
Type: setting
There are two magic schools, "sorcery" and "wizardry". Sorcerers belong to the sorcery school and cast magic intuitively, while wizards belong to the wizardry school and construct spells through the exact study of thaumaturgy.
----
Fireball
Type: magic spell
Attributes: fire, magic, attack
School: sorcery
Incantation: "Fire, purge my enemies."
Gesture: point with index finger
Area of effect: 8m
Accuracy: 40%
Sorcerers commonly use their exclusive fireball spell. It devastates a wide area around the point of impact.
----
Flamestrike
Type: magic spell
Attributes: fire, magic, attack, intelligence based
School: wizardry
Incantation: "Flames, consume those in my way."
Gesture: a throwing motion
Area of effect: 2m
Accuracy: 90%
Flamestrike is used only by wizards. It has a low area of effect, but it is highly accurate and will hit even small targets with ease.
***
With billowing robes, The Red stood before the orcs. A wizard of renown, he prepared to cast his favorite elemental attack spell.
