Will it be like that every time we go to cast it?

Nope, still not getting it. Could you provide an example of what might happen given each one?_(please?)

[Origami_Psycho]

Well we could just stuff a big enough rubber ducky into his mouth that he can't perform the incantations for magic.

[Ross Vernal]

Once you DEVELOP THE POWER, it will work properly every time.

ANYTHING is a GENERAL, NON-SPECIFIC ENTITY and/or ACTION.
SOMETHING is a SPECIFIC, UNKNOWN ENTITY and/or ACTION.
EVERYTHING is all KNOWN/possible ENTITIES and/or ACTIONS.
NOTHING is all IMPOSSIBLE/unknown ENTITIES and/or ACTIONS.

Chaos magic is not just LOL TACO RANDOM QUERTY VAGINAS HILARITY. Think of it as PRIMAL MAGIC, as the RAW COSMOS made MANIFEST. Think of QUANTUM-LEVEL BULLSHIT making THINGS HAPPEN. Or NOT HAPPEN.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Hehe....

What are the differences between the entities/actions?((im)possible/(non)specific/(un)known)

If we spontaneously get TIRED of INTROVERTED WIZARDLY COGITATION, formulate the spell with EVERYTHING.

[Ross Vernal]

[Are you asking me to provide a definition for those words? Because I can't really get more specific than what I said.

Possible are things that are possible to do by the universe's physics.
Impossible things are not. Wizardry is an impossible thing, for example.
Specific is something... you know, particular, classifiable, various arbitrary constants.
Nonspecific is something that doesn't have a constant, that isn't particular or specified or what-have-you.
Known things are things that are known, by anyone, anywhere. Even if it's lost to the pages of some book in an obscure library, it is known.
Unknown things are things that are not known. As soon as they become known, they stop being unknown. Even if it's just you who knows it. ]

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Actually, that helped.
So, looks like to prevent him from using his magic, (which doesn't necessarily rely on incantations, more likely physical motions & thoughts), we'll need something that is likely unknown, (silencing a wizard? Ha!), specific (it's gotta silence him, does that count as a constant?), & I'd wager impossible (because how do you interrupt the flow of ritual or and thought magic?).

Can we use TWO schools of chaos to form the spell?


-edit
Actually, non-specific might be better, since we're doing something that's impossible & unknown- using a non-specific silencing technique would make the spell more dynamic, and also harder to counter-act. If we can just chalk it up to QUANTUM BULLSHIT, having the non-specific silencing technique would be better than having (a bunch of) specific silencing techniques, one for each of the different schools of magic.

[Origami_Psycho]

A javelin through the spinal column might go quite a ways towards silencing this pesky little wizard.

A javelin through the spinal column might go quite a ways towards silencing this pesky little wizard.

Wouldn't count on it, it runs into various problems:
How does the javelin get into his spinal column?
It must be inserted between C4 & C5 to completely paralyze him and therefore stop ritual magic. But he could still use auric stuff & incantations.
If he can still use any magic, how do we keep him from healing himself?

Keep in mind he's a WIZARD, harry!


Btw, Ross, thanks for your time.

[Ross Vernal]

Option A) SILENCE the ELF-WIZARD with a new WIZARDLY POWER
Option B) BOOM2

Is that CORRECT?

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Option A!

[Origami_Psycho]

As much as I'd like to get a new spell, I can't pass up explosions.
BOOM2 please, with a side of giblets.
