What are beast trials?
Beast trials are events for Aitielkh which generally involve a non-elkh creature that needs help of some sort, whether its being freed from corruption or help entertaining their children. Trials almost always involve magic, which can be honed by doing Magic Trials. Magic can also be gained using Magic Crystals, available in the premium currency shop aka the Crystal Gilde shop.
How do they work?
As with other prompts, beast trials involve drawing or writing about your character participating in the event. For beast trials specifically, the rewards received correspond to the level of magic used. Beast trial rewards include Loot Boxes which contain restricted traits and/or other rare items which are often only available reliably through these events (though they are sometimes available at later times either through event re-runs, the crystal gilde shop, or random prizes). Drawing an aitielkh using the Lv 3 (mastery) magic they've earned will get you a Lv 3 loot box.

Here are some examples of the first Beast Trial's instructions and rewards (but please note the format may change in future trials):
When do they happen?
Beast trials happen four times a year, and usually in the middle of each season. Please see the event calendar for more information on event timing. The one exception is the Summer event; in order to avoid conflict with Artfight, we run the event a month early.
