Samson watched with childlike wonder as the pugs continued their strange orbit.  Acting with the same instinct that had guided him in the casting of his spell, the vagrant snatched a pug out of the air and casually patted its head as he spoke.

"Mistress... anything you ask will be done.  You have shown me the path to power, and I will do anything necessary to continue down it."

Patiently listen to the commands of the Mistress.  Then, burn another page from the book.

"Well, if you are not Bonzo, then what the here were you doing in his room?"
Eta seriously considered simply administering a beating to everyone involved as punishment for being filthy liars. Well, probably not all of them, but at least some of them. The odds were that the punishment would be just for more than half of them.

Joel stands, stunned, wondering what would cause him to think up a phrase like "thought of indestructible cicadas."  Rethinking his early skepticism, Joel takes note of any new sense of power as he tests the words he heard during his vision, but then he catches himself.  "Thought of indestructible cicadas" could be interpreted in a few ways. He could accidently summon a plague of these insects, or perhaps just cause himself or those around him to think of the possibility of indestructible cicadas.

Joel nods his head to the mistress in agreement as he attempts to cast "thought of indestructible cicadas".

Wake up.

You're already up, in fact. Maybe a little dazed. But definitely awake! Once you choose a spell, you're assumed to return to consciousness.

Also, that was a 1. You have to take all the spells given to you on a 1, in contrast with a 6, where you choose any you want from the list given.

Attempt to examine the spell like I'd felt Dave do.

Well... it's a spell. Weaken Toothpick. You presume it weakens a toothpick, though there's no way to tell how much or in what way. Structurally, you would guess.

"My room was taken! An awful ruffian had taken up residence there, and I was leery of raising any sort of issue after the already copious amounts of abuse that had been leveled upon me previously," the captured one explains.

Choose all spells, and try to use Invoke Filthy Paracetamol.

"Nah, I think I'll be fine. I suppose it's too late to ask what I actually crammed down my throat?" John says, trying his best not to vomit.

"Uh, some weed, I think. I'm not sure if you'll be fine," Billy Ray tells you with all due honesty.

(Is it because of my inferior mind stat?)
It could be argued that the pins holding the dentures together are similar to toothpicks. Weaken them.

Yes. Also because I forgot what exactly that did the previous time.

And you suppose it could be argued this way, yes. The spell, however, doesn't seem entirely convinced, although you're pretty sure it just did something.

I discovered the mechanics of the denture vortex spell. I was attempting to use it as they were originally intended but apparently the game had gone in a different direction. I did learn something of the inherent mechanics of spellcasting though.

Oh, that. Yeah, you didn't roll well enough here.

If at first you don't succeed stubbornly keep doing it until you succeed or die. MOAR DIGGING!
