Cane LEGS, a la legs made of CANES...Wait. It's a wall of hands, it can just use the canes as crutches? Generate as many canes as are required!! Also, loosen it from the wall.

What? I can't hear any cries for help BECAUSE THIS DOESN'T EXIST! HAHAHAHAHA

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Inside a basement of unbelievably moldy dampness...

Samuel, feeling that his plan needs some more clarification, attempts to create cane-legs for the wall!

[Samuel magic roll: 1]

A giant magical cane appears and stabs through the wall-creatures face!

"GAH, YOU BASTARDLY TWIT, LOOK WHAT YOU DID! I'M COMING OVER!"

The wall begins rising once more!

[Building structural integrity roll: 3]

The ceiling cracks, the structure becomes unstable!

[Wall-creature strength roll: 5]

With a mighty push, the wall creature stands up! It lifts the entire structure off its foundations!

[Building structural integrity roll: 6]

The basement still remains mostly intact, though! Quite improbable, that!


On the eighth floor of the Citadel of Mental Death...

James tries to ignore the child's cries for help!

[Will roll: 2]

Oh, what the hell, the child clearly needs his help! James to the rescue!

[James vs. Jungle Gym: 5+1 vs. 4+2]

Just as more astute people might guess, the jungle gym proves resistant to stabbing, being full of holes and made of metal!

[Jungle Gym vs. James: 1+2 vs. 6+2]

The jungle gym ponderously turns, but it is too slow to strike James, for he is already making another attack!

[James vs. Jungle Gym: 3+1 vs. 2+2]

Yep. Stabbing don't work.

[Inner Child vs. Jungle Gym: 3+1 vs. 1+2]

Scratching and biting on the child's part, however, seems to work nicely!

"Thanks! I guess you're not so bad after all!"

Sam's going to apologize, and morph the wall into a rat. Made of stone! With hands instead of paws.

On the eighth floor of James' Mind Tower...

James reluctantly continues the battle against the fiendish Jungle Gym!

[James vs. Jungle Gym: 5+1 vs. 1+2]

James' halberd sticks through the hole in the gym and pokes at something! Something important, it seems! The gym recoils, shrieking in a metallic tone!

[Jungle Gym endurance: 6]

It, however, is only momentarily distracted, as it immediately leaps right back at James!

[Jungle Gym vs. James: 1+2 vs. 6+2]

Well, about as fast as it can, which isn't very fast. James strikes back!

[Counterattack: James vs. Jungle Gym: 6+1 vs. 4+2]

James hacks through one of the gym's bars! It is structurally weakened, if only a little bit!

[Inner Child vs. Jungle Gym: 3+1 vs. 2+2]

The Inner Child kicks at the Gym! It isn't very effective!


Inside an elevated basement...

Samuel attempts to apologize for his actions!

[Nonverbal communication roll: 1]

He is about to beg for forgiveness, but then realizes - screw wall creatures! He flips the dang thing off!

[Wall rage roll: 4]

The wall doesn't appear to notice this faux pas! Perhaps because it has a cane stuck in its face! Speaking of which, MAGIC TIME!

[Magic roll: 2-2]

The wall-creature's eyes flash curiously for a second! It sighs contentedly, becoming a single oversized cane! It falls to the ground! So does the house! It impacts the ground at a respectable (read: unsettling) speed!

[Destruction roll: 3]

Most of the ceiling crumbles, as do the walls, but the house itself mostly holds together! The same cannot be said, however, of the house that this one landed on! All that wood must have cushioned the fall! Samuel is still unscathed, miraculously!

Sam's going to...Uh...Try and scramble around, and find that king.

Goddamn I hate this -2. How do I get rid of it?

Doing magic related to your focus. IE magic related to canes.

On the penultimate floor of the Tower of the Mind...

James tries to kill the Jungle Gym some more!

[James vs. Jungle Gym: 3+1 vs. 6+2]

James is about to hack at it, but the Jungle Gym strikes back!

[Counterattack: Jungle Gym vs. James: 6+2 vs. 6+2]

The jungle gym tries to smash James to smithereens, but James stands proud! He holds the halberd in front of himself! There is a loud clang and sparks fly as the two bits of metal meet, neither willing to back down!

[Jungle Gym vs. James: 1+2 vs. 1+2]

After a bit of struggling, both roll backwards!

[Inner Child vs. Jungle Gym: 4+1 vs. 3+2]

The Jungle Gym proves resilient as ever, and the child cannot do anything to it!

[Child reaction roll: 4]

The child, dissatisfied at his continuous failure, attempts to channel his disappointment into a coherent energy beam!

[Child energy beam roll: 6]

The disappointment is powerful indeed, forming a purple column of death that sweeps across the jungle gym, cutting off half of it!

[Jungle Gym endurance roll: 6-1]

The jungle gym, however, is hardly slowed!


In the ruins of what was once a cultist-infested area...

Samuel tries to get his bearings! He wanders out of the house!

[Navigation roll: 1]

He finds himself in a city of some kind, noise and people and horrible horses and rude noblemen everywhere! He desperately searches for some indication of his location and wanders in the path of a speeding carriage!

[Agility roll: 1+1]

He is run over by the carriage, the bones in his legs completely snapped by the wooden wheels! The carriage speeds off into the distance!

Samuel will temporarily reinforce his legs with...Uh, cane bracings, and pull himself together! AFTER THAT CART, SKELLY SPEED!

And yeah, I know, but having only one area of expertise kinda sucks. Eh.

((Such is the price you pay for having a non-book focus. However, like I've mentioned, books do have less power than objects, which makes up for the lesser specialization.))

Hm...Well, it was my call, and I made it. I can train my magic anytime; - I am sorta pseudo-immortal right now.

A year of training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber should do it!

...Hyperbolic is a word?

From Hyperbole.  So yes.  What made you think it wasn't?
