Depends on the kind of word you used. I'm guessing you used a targeting word and a form word? Or was it a targeting word and a special word?

I'd say you used the words that translate to "What-I'm-touching-with-my-left-hand <some kind of object>".

Actually, it was said by someone who isn't me and he
1) probably doesn't  use combos yet
2) has a pool of 2 that was only drained by one point...

So I was thinking it was a single word.

Oh and one last question. Each page of the book has a certain category of word right? For example page one will be raw materials (diamond, fire, dust that distorts things into geometric shapes) where as page 2 would be things to do with those materials (explode shoot foreword etc). It's just a guess but there seem to BSA few trends like that.

Oh, if it was a single word then that is a very fun (read: potentially dangerous to its user if misused) and powerful word, if it's the word I think. Play around with it for a bit if you know which one it is and you'll probably understand what it does and how to use it safely. Or just continue reading this thread until the point it begins being used, or the point where I reveal how to use it safely, if you feel like metagaming.

And yes, words have categories. And this forum has an edit button. No need to double post.

If he had 2 pool  he could have used two words and regenerated one pool by the end of the turn. Unless in special cases (Like being magic drained) you will never have 0 pool, thus he could have used a two word spell and still have one pool the next turn...

That makes sense^^ but given the complexity of his spells I highly doubt he is using 2 word spells yet.

On another note if Syvarris doesn't show do you (guys)want me to try and post the turns here? It would just be copy-paste but then you would get to see all the fails (and achievements) that are happening. Just an idea.

If you want :P
Also a hint: I would recommend you to do ´´Wholebody (Enhanced if you know the word) Arcane-Energy``, then use will to make yourself better.
I recommend decreasing strenght and increase speed.
Arcane energy doesnt use strenght on rolls for attack (It just explodes the stuff it touches), just dexterity, and depending on the case, enemy endurance. (Not to avoid being blown, but to avoid bleeding out if you explode his arm), however decreasing strenght to much makes you vulnerable to blackholes. If you get some good speed and dexterity however, there are chances you blow up people before they can do something dangerous for you.

Huh.  I expected somebody to find this thread at some point, although I expected it to take a bit longer.  And there have been a few turns since I last updated, but I was procrastinating on posting them.  Now that JP has the thread, I probably won't start again.  Don't want him to get meta-knowledge.

And can you please stop telling him what stuff means?  I know it's tempting, but you're ruining their fun.  Half the point of the game is figuring stuff out.  Plus, if JP gets too much meta-knowledge, I'm just going to ban him from the game.

That's a bit of a good point. I remember the beginning of Perplexicon, when nobody knew anything. A blind run of Perplexicon happens only once per group, so you have to treasure it.

I didnt tell him any meaning, we dont even know the words in your game O_O. Atleast we didnt tell him that one thing you were to lazy to fix.

Oh dear. I wasn't metagaming THAT much was I? The only thing they did was give me a few pointers on how to use my god powers...
Also if it ruins everyone's fun I  just won't look here anymore. So you could keep posting if  you want (I can't let my genius go unrecognized :p)

Nothing wrong with using this thread for advice. Especially if you share the link.

Does anyone think they could write me up a small guide and pm it to me? I would like to play this with a group of friends!
