Sounds cool.

Let me see if I can guess what the exact first blind spell using this would be.
"Fire cast wolf cast cast."
And then I cry softly to myself.

Oh come on. How many times did we cast blind spells with the same word in it three times?

But yeah, wile it would be neat, some uses of the word would be tough.

((No, I was referring to the Altered. I know the Nids don't really cheat beyond adapting moderately well for a species of their caliber and having an apparent shit ton of numbers, plus attacking an Imperium that can't muster a force to attack them. If the Imperium didn't have everyone else in the setting ragging on them they'd kick the shit out of the Nids.))

((They adapt really well, and there are a crapton of them. They attack planets with literally enough "troops" that the defenders run out of bullets, plus things like quiet invisible giants (lichtors) and really frakking big ones (??), plus 'nids with all sorts of weapons. They can recycle their dead, the enemy's dead, and the local wild- and plant life into more troops. They devastate planets quickly, and their warp presence prevents interstellar communications and travel; by the time they get checked on, the planet is long dead. And their total numbers...well, their fleets are on the scale of galaxies. The Imperium would have a huge problem dealing with Tyranids, even without everything else. They would survive for a while, but eventually they would almost certainly die if they didn't get some absolutely incredible new tech or the Emperor to wake up again.

In other words, they're a bit above average in terms of threat to the Imperium. The WH40k 'verse sucks.))

Cast the spell on Thuun, letting him fly! And, you know, move under his own power. When he wakes up. Until then, it'll make him easier to carry without dragging him!

"Okay. Cool...What now?"

God, we need to research a friggin' levitation rune.

Blast him with exploding cubes and/or the phoenix blaster. Also deoxygenate him, ruin his concentration.

"We'll cross--or, if my intuition's right, burn--that bridge when we come to it."

"Didn't you hear how shaken up Erils was after he killed the boar? Do you really want to see how he will react if we have to kill a person?"

"...Your point?"

Baffler looks up from his work.

"I plan to start training with my spear this evening. If it comes to it, I can stand guard outside the cave entrance or something. But if we ever get our hands on a crossbow, I would prefer to use that. About other people though, the last thing we want is for them to think we're bandits and send some crazy steel-clad adventurer to murder us."

"I kinda want them to send a crazy steel clad adventurer to kill us now."

This is met with a smack to the head.

At that very moment, a once-retired, veteran adventurer was setting off with a party of new ones to investigate the strange disturbance in the distance.

The thunder boomed again, still distant. Then, again. It sounded like a fairly sizable storm.

Zanzetkuken slowly moved outside after the thunder echoed through the cave.  'Looks like the storm's going to arrive faster than I expected.  Lovely.'  He walked over towards the people working on the carpenter's shop and said, "Hey, you might need to suspend that.  Storm's coming in quicker than would be expected, and we need to get all this stuff inside.  In fact, try shifting this construction down to the basement.  There's really no reason to have it built outside.  I'm going to grab some dry kindling for starting a fire to replenish the torches."

With that, Zanzetkuken walked into the nearby forest.

(I'm going to approximate this as around an hour or two into the time skip.)

"Good plan."
Help.

((Well, I did mention that Abel was pretty much just waiting for the induction ceremony to be introduced to the story.))

((Oh, right.
...Did you want to actually be initiated, and if so what was your character's codename? And age?))

On the other hand, you now won't be able to reform yourself like you did when Naga smashed you.

And your form isn't superdense, only a few times the density of concrete. You probably don't weigh much more than half a ton. or so. (Which is good. Multi-ton forms are hell on floors.))

I know i wont be able to reform, but my body should be hard and dense enough to ignore physical attack, also noone in the field with me has powers to harm me with and the use of firearms would be ill advised so im pretty safe.

i did post an action to make a super dense form though
Also half a ton is like 2 statues can we up it to one ton and four statues?
(Adult males in good shape weigh around 100-120 kilograms, double that for stone.)

The human body is around 70 liters, usually a bit less. This is 0.07 cubic meters. Concrete has a mass around 2400 kilograms per cubic meter. 0.07*3*2400=504 kilograms.
Making really dense stuff isn't easy; your power doesn't "like" screwing with matter on that fundamental basis, and so tries to minimize the amount of density-changing it does. You can get around it with practice, but there's a bit of diminishing returns once you hit a certain point. If you want heavier, you should see if you can get a good supply of lead or something.
And...why would firearms be a bad idea?
