YOU ARE WIZARD! - The Original!
« on: September 03, 2010, 01:11:30 am »

You are WIZARD! You probably had a name before, but everyone started calling you WIZARD! some long ago day and you don't really remember what it was. Or maybe you screwed something up.
You don't remember which one it was.

Anyway, you DO remember how to wizard; or was it how to do magic? Whatever, you remember how to do the thing that makes the thing happen.
What kind was it, again?

tl;dr: like Man of SCIENCE!, but with a wizard who doesn't remember anything useful yet. Including his name ::) other game stuff in the next post

Code: (KINDS OF MAGIC) [Select]
Pyromancy, The Way of the Fiery Explosion.
Cryomancy, The Way of the Deep Freeze.
Psionics, The Way of the Psychic Warrior.
Mechamancy, The Way of the Created Helper.
Technologic, The Way of the Lightning Harnesser.  \__ Advanced
Metamancy, The Way of the Change.                 /   Magics

Alchemy!

And General Wizard, but being specialized is a much better choice.

Pick 2 Primary kinds (If you pick Pyro, you can't pick Cryo as your other primary, they're polar opposites. any others are fine), and 2 Tomes as secondaries. You start with 2 ranks in primaries, and 3/4ths a rank in secondaries (you need the tomes until you get the rest of the way to rank 1, after that do whatever with them.)

Metamancy is not a good starter choice at all, its the hardest to use unless you have advanced materials and equipment, or enough crap to polymorph into advanced stuff (unless you want him to die really really really fast, or end up warping inside an boulder and dieing)

Technologic is not a very good starter either. Not nearly needy as Metamancy, but still not very newbie-friendly, unless WIZARD is ridiculously lucky.

Psionics requirees Focus. WIZARD can't even remember his name, so while It won't be any harder to start with this compared to the rest, you'll need to get rid of the ridicuolously huge mental cobwebs he's got first to be any good at it.

Mechamancy is the magic equivalent of KILLBOTICS, except not very advanced until WIZARD has some Technologics knowledge.

I'll let you Alchemize anything with anything (almost), but don't expect it to always work well, if at all. High level Alchemy has a Undo recipe, Which you'll probably need by then. ;)

If you need any more explanation on the magic types, Ask me.

>You know how to magically merge two objects into one. But stuff once merged can only merge with another merged object and only once.

Such as a broom-hat combination can be merged with a saw-rocket combination into Broomsaw-Rockethat, but can no longer be merged further.


(This good enough?)

edit: (Bonus points for pics of the merged objects.  ;D )

I have absolutely no idea what's going on in this fort any more. Migrants arrive, they die for some reason, the fort is flooded for another reason, then dwarves go mad, more dwarves die and I'm just laughing in my distress.

What kind is that Armok?

Also, since everyones been picking Alchemy, and Mechamancy and Technologic as secondaries, those are done. Just need 1 more Primary

Ah yes, Alchemy! you were some kind of Alchemist, but you still can't remember what kind exactly. You then look at your bookcase and spot your Mechamancy and Technologic Tomes. Good thing you kept those, they could be useful for alchemy after you've learned all you can from them.
