Yes! And can we say that I had a fail safe so it's literally a clone with my memories?

I'll accept a clone without the memories. We are abhorently metagaming here anyways.

Name: Rohan Moore
Affinity: chemical reactions
-snip-

I'll hold you on that. You'll need to provide the apropriate formula for every spell/reaction.

Cast the exact same spell on the firefox.

As the firefox is less fox and more magma, i.e. is a sentient lump of magma that has no cells, that ain't gonna work.
((The question: can I use soul shards and/or environment/magic to improve my guardian stats? Also, I still had 2 shards left (spending 13 of them)... If Kirby spent nothing, of course, which I'll check now.))

((I haven't found modifier, but I think it won't cost much.))
Make the axe (temporaly?), not solid shadow of itself. And get it out from my chest.

Yes you did, and no he didin't. I'll fix that. You can improve a summon with the ammount of shards equal to the LUCK roll that summoned it. I'll also add "ethereal" mod to the mod list as a basic mod that does what you want.

DreamerGhost, as you said in introduction, "Dying breath of a mage can be crystalized, their power and skill traped in a physical container". Well, magical minions do have powers - although not as great as those of mages. Do we receive anything from killing them?

Another thing to add to OP. Non-magical minions give you shards equal to half of their summoning LUCK roll, magical minions give full respective LUCK roll of shards.

Oh, it's ok then. If I had let you have in-game memories preserved, I'd have to let evryone through, which would open all kinds of nasty metagaming chances.

Turn 11

Try again! And if I see anyone, trap them in the grasses and hide in the vines.

POT [3]


Isaac continued with his atempts to make the best out of a bad situation, but only managed to make vines bind him even more. In certain cicrles of magi, this is considered the most annimal friendly way of bondage pleasure, as no leather is used.

((The question: can I use soul shards and/or environment/magic to improve my guardian stats? Also, I still had 2 shards left (spending 13 of them)... If Kirby spent nothing, of course, which I'll check now.))

((Changed color after you, it's more suitable for reading.))

"I'm greatly pleased. Indeed, had I not summoned you, it may have ended for me... Now, with enemies gone, and strife ahead, it's time to properly introduce myself. I'm Whaz the Gloomy, mage of Darkness and the newest ruler of this castle. How do I call you?"

(After introductions)
"I'm thinking now of securing this place under my will. Your presence would help - go and check the gates, before any other mages infiltrate. And they would, eventually. If there would be nothing of note, close the gate and return."

((I haven't found modifier, but I think it won't cost much. Thanks.))
Make my sternum axe ethereal. And get it out.

"My name is Mezala, it is an honor to be summoned here. From what I have seen durning my short visit here, you seem to be the most competent. I shall return soon."


Mezala bowed slightly, and slithered out. Whaz decided not to waste time deducing wether or not that was more of a noding than bowing an deal with the axe that was stuck in his chest.

CMP [5]
POT [3]


Darkness tint surounding the axe turns ethereal, making axe slightly thiner than it was before, making it slide out of the wound effortlessly. Just a moment later, spell times out and axe returns back to its previous state. "Entirely as I planed" murmured Whaz in case somone invisible was listening. Now the bleeding, was not exactly planed, though consdering where axe had hit, it was a minor detail compared to what could had happened.
{Bleeding I}

Let's try that one more time, but with regular aether.

POT [6+1=7]
END [4]


Still shocked by previous mistake, Jase proceded to weave his next spell very carefully. Making sure to account for any possible and immpossible complications, pouring massive ammounts of energy as not to have the spell colapse. The result was no less than mindshatering, as spell once again affected Jases soul, binding it to aether, changing it, forming it to fit what was requested. If anyone who was able to see souls would had looked at Jase durning this transformation, thoy would had been amazed as massive wings formed and atached Jases back. But the spell did not end there. When spirit wings finished forming, the power conected to physical dimension, starting to form and connect wings to physical body. Most readily availiable and compatiable material was air. Powerfull wind curents formed as air rushed into forming wings of Jase. Magical equivalent of nerve system spread across this creation, conecting to physical nerves diretly throug Jases spine. As suden formation of nerves is as painfull as disintegration, Jase almost wished that his soul would be geting sucked out insted. Almost being the key word here, as mage continiously reminded himself while lying on the alien grass, fighting his hardest as to not lose consciousness.

"What the heck is this?"

Move towards the purple area, cautious of my surroundings.

LUCK [4]

Crimson left the relative safety of a grassy hill and went forth, carefully examining his suroundings. As mage reached the white powder that formed the plateau, he reached out with his left hand ad grabed some of that white powder to investigate it. Witout even bothereng to raise it to eye level, mage droped the powder as understanding of its composition came immedietly upon touching it with bare hands. Powdered glass mixed equaly with powdered salt was todays spice. Just as Crimson straightened out and looked towards purple plain, he was cought unaware by a powerfull gust of wind blowing from behind. Upon looking at the salt clouds that were caried by the wind, mage determined that winbd was not blowing from some direction, but was instead converging in the middle of the purple meadow. Not even strangeness of grass could stave away Crimsons curiosity, and he braveley walked forward. As wind finaly subsided, and dlouds of salt cleared, mage was greeted by most wondrous sight - on the ground was lying a humanoid figure with seemingly ethereal white wings. "Oh snap, a real angel. Wonder if I should make a wish?" He comented with a smirk on his face. If he wanted to make a wish he would need to hurry, as anyone swearing as much as that "angel" wouldn't stay saint for long.

Kick the firefox. Heal myself if I get hurt.

James, satisfied by Leos gurgling while clawing at his own throath, focused his atention on the blob of flame that was before him. As if sensing impending attack, Irus flared up with heat. Then the firefox shock its "head" as if this was not the intended effect. But an effect it did have, as James clearly felt when his leg flew forth to kick annoying bonefire in half. Just before impact, James felt the heat emanating from the fox, and stopped his attack, his foot barely touching the fox. Had he kicked clean through, it would had probably burned his skin off, though fox was none worse for wear after such nonattack.

A body surprisingly simmiliar to now scorched David entered through main portal. "Ha, that fool of a necromancer, trying to cheat the game. Did he not know that when a body passes through a portal any form of controll is severed and the original mind takes control? Oh, I'll give him a surprise when I'll get out of here, wherever here is"

Just behind him apeared a well known alchemist Rohan. "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear some of your monologue. Would you like a potion of suppressing anger? I'd give you a discount once this ends, if you are still alive of course"

The battles raged on.

As Scotsmen hasn't connected to forum in past three days I can only assume that it is something serious, possibly life related. As such, his turn was skiped.

"Ah, hello. I am Jase Blackthorn."
Let's take a moment to recuperate. Maybe meditate and repair the damage to my soul, weaving additional aether into it if need be.

"Isn't it intriguing? Whenever I kill one of those mages, my magic works just as I intend it to... Not taking risks now, though."

Whaz glanced at the bloody charred remains of a wizard beside him. Perhaps, his ruined robes could serve one last purpose?

Stop the bleeding with makeshift bandages. Then, pick up an axe, and study a Kirby corpse from some distance - he surely wasn't half-turned into a golden artifact the first time I saw him.

which dot am I?

Artificially accelerate the glucose metabolism in Leo's body, final equation C6H12O6 + 6H2O -> 6CO2 +12H2O (or C6H12O6 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O, if you want it simplified).  This should cause severe damage to his cells due to the large quantity of heat generated in the reaction. -1 for ranged, -1 for specifying the reaction

Move northwards into the hex right above me.
