Clair, after a long period of playing with the wind puppy, suddenly jumps to her feet.  "Wind Puppy, I love you!  Let us leave this place, together!"  The puppy yips happily.  The two of them run to the pit room.  They jump into the air, Clair grabbing the puppy around the waist, and the two of them fly out over the pit together.

Clair has left the game!



Wilbur Wilson Deerkill pops into existence in the Spike Room.  He doffs his top hat at the apparently docile giant steel moose that's in there with him.

((If it's antimatter-like, it's absurdly inefficient...unless it's absorbing the energy contained in the matter to charge a sort of cosmic battery that powers magic?))
Its not Magic, its Arcane Energy. They re different materials unless Toaster fused them onto one, which seems unlikely. Bigfoot has the answers for this if hes willing to share, considering the word for Magic is the one used to allow creatures use spells and he made the replicator menace.
I'm pretty sure you're misunderstanding my point, and certainly my terminology.
1. "Arcane Energy" causes explosions and destroys stuff. If the destruction causes the expplosion, we would expect more energy to be released; thus, some energy is being lost.
2. Magic inherently violates physics by creating matter and energy from nothing...
3. ...unless there is a sort of "cosmic battery" that powers magic.
4. Thus, the arcane energy might transform matter into energy for this "cosmic battery".

((How did Durable Steel Full-body make my hand turn into arcane energy?  Anyways, give me around 2 turns to try to survive, then feel free to experiment.))
Say Oildin Kiforiter then touch the (hopefully solid) fire with my stump, touch the light orb instead if Jabon gets to me in time.


Disregard this entire post.

Well, if it is, we're making them weaker every time we cast a spell!
And stronger every time we use arcane energy to blow something up.

((I will still try to help you and do some science on the light thing.))

Go to where Azilain is, say Oildin Alviscos Zigula

((Possible effects of the glowing orb: a) it heals, because darkness weakens. b) it burns, because light is energy. Applying it to your bleeding arm will either heal or cauterize it, so there is nothing to lose))


See my next post for the action.

Welp, the last time we made them stronger every time we casted an spell, since that got them closer to the mortal dimension, while that using magic of the gods made them weaker.

Tomcost: Go watch Piecewise, its confirmed light burns. If you want to cauterize the wound... Well, but if you get a high potency you may freaking burn him to ashes. Even though... Burning his arm to ashes might be a good idea. He may grow another, i know how to do that. (But what would you offer me to tell you?)

Someone should get wings (The page where that word is kinda obvious) and grow a pair of wings, then go see whats in the dark depths of the pit.
My imagination tells me that there will be eldritch. Ton of eldritch tentacles ready to get you. My mind tells me there will be artifacts and stuff. But my intuition tells me there will be nothing, and that like the wand it will be a plain joke... Or perhaps it isnt :D? Who has the wand right now, may i know?

Oh shit, you're right.  I mentally had you casting arcane instead of steel.  You're no longer bleeding- fixing turn now.


EDIT- Fixed.  The wand's still on the ground where the last person who had it (you) died, so right near where Bigf01t's standing.

That violates the--! Magic, right.

I'll even tell y'all the word for wings: It's either Emarion or Equing. No idea what the "Grow

Oh yea. If I can do so while holding my stuff, grab the wand too :P (Seriously. Yup)

Well, i dont think this specific algorithm changed, so all what you would need to make them grow from you would be (Material) Wings Torso. (And no, this wouldnt convert your torso into wings, Torso (Material) Wings would do that, the order of words is important! :P).

Wilbur Wilson Deerkill had no idea where he was, well except that it was a room with spikes... And a metal moose.

"Well, a good day to you fine sir," He says, tipping his hat off to the curious metal moose before then flipping through the pages of the odd book in his hands, "Good sir... Would you by any chance happen to know what these words are?"

After a moment of thought, "Probably not... Well... I wonder what happens if I say..."

Then he says gibberish words while waving book around, vaguely pointing in the direction of the moose
