Turn 37__________________________________________________________________
((I praise you, Aoshi - that was my first failed physical roll! Also, great duel.))
Servant of death lied on the floor, his body shattered and mind - partly on its way to the outer realms. It may be said that he has finally reached his life-long aim in those last moments of life. Through sheer quantity of murder, his magic became a powerful tool of death. Though his body, honed through many endeavors, didn't follow that well. If he would be still conscious, he would undoubtably say:
"How ironic."
But, alas, he was dying, his body shuddering in agony, his hand clutching tight... Incidentally (may I allow myself this small detail) crushing all the shards in it. But what would they do, without correct aim?
((Okay, here we go. Both epilogue in case nothing happens and the only thing except trading with Death that might somehow work.))
LUCK [1]Whaz releases his final breath, still exatly the same as Aoshi left him, and the castle is empty once more.
((Huh, since Whaz is unconcious, he shouldn't be able to crush his shards. Operation: Fortuitous Coincidence is go! I don't know if I have the essences for it, but I'll try.))
Since unclaimed soul shards disappear shortly after death if they haven't bonded to another mage, and they presumably move through a medium of aether, and aether moves in a manner similar to air, I think I'll try something. Create a massive (-3) current of aether attuned to me stretching through the portal and out onto the island, flowing around and eventually returning to me. It's like a vacuum for unclaimed soul shards, since the current should shift the aether around it as well even if it doesn't reach to cover the whole place. Use all my aether essences! (Should be a net +4 CMP after the penalty from massive, and a bunch of +POT)
CMP [6+4+2+1-3-1-1=8]
POT [2+4+2=8]Jase began weaving his greatest spell yet. Bound by his power, curents of aether, neutral for ages started moving with purpose enforced. More and more streaks of thiss wondrous substance were drawn in by the magic. Just as the size of the vortex increased to the point where it threatened to interfere with the obelisks, jase released it towards the portal. It would continue gathering energy until reaching the waypoint betwen worlds and emerge on the island fully formed.
Throw the bomb out the mech's door. At the same time, enchant the bomb with healing.

POT [1]James knew he had to move fast. Firmly grabing the explosives with his right hand, mage spun his seat with his lefft and jumped towards the door. Dor was violently torn open and explosives thrown downwards. The timer might have been not seconds but some alien, slightly longer units of time, as the bomb managed to fall all the way down to the mechs leg, damaging it a bit as the igniter activated. Wether the healing spell worked or not, the destructive quality remained unchanged.
I probably need a new pair of legs now
LUCK [5]
END [2]Once more the virus from the glove reached out, this time to reconstruct leg of its host. The work was significantly longer and somewhat even more painful than the remaking of eyes. Witness was reduced to a screaming and sobing pile on the ground by the experience, though his leg was completely restored.
Meditate or something like that and try to see if I discovered anything from my initial failure.
LUCK [9]Crimson decided that meditation on his recent failure would do well to distract from consequences of said failure. The echos of force that downed him so nicely were realy simmilar to explosions. In fact, exactly like explosions. And just as inefective at killing. Yet being able to experience all the twists and angles firsthand was somewhat enlightening on how exatly they work.
{
Knowlege of explosions gained. +1 to all explosion spels}
Create(-1) a silver(-1) dagger.
What sort of properties can I give to weapons I create.
CMP [4+1-2=3]
POT [5-2=3]Alexander pulled out another weapon from the void. The silver dagger was somewhat dull and small, yet it was easy to conceal and no less deadly to fae creatures. Those have just as high chance of apearing as his competitors in a land as magic as this.

Ishin the chameleon entered through the gate. There were some who made fun of his name. They usualy found their bones losing solidness, their blood loosing capability to transfer oxygen and various other things losing just as vitaly important functions. Beware, the shaper walks.
