"one more time" place hand on Garth's chest and shout "GWP"
Roll away and run to a distance that 1-word magic hasn't worked at yet. Yell "GARSTORPIT-GARSTORPIT" at Mr. Blind Schmuck.
((It's not a piecewise RTD without piles of accidental homoeroticism.))

Garth rolls off Patrick and shouts a double Garstopit at the prone, half stoned man. This time the air goes solid black and the dark tendrils which lance through the haze pierce into the stone around them, digging blackened gouges through the rock. When it clears Pat is barely alive: His skin is albino white and his veins, clearly visible, are pumping black blood. His eyes are hollow sockets, pouring with blood and his teeth fall out as he coughs and spasms uncontrollably. The random dark spots appear in his pale flesh, swelling and then suddenly collapsing into a powdery gray substance revealing degenerating flesh and bone beneath.
[Patrick is fatally poisoned: He will die next turn if things remain as they are.]
"Oh yes! Distance has been achieved!"
Laugh gleefully, then pull myself together and say [color=#f4cb3]Generic[/color]while looking at the wall behind me.
You get off your cloth throne, stand, and face the wall behind you before you speak your word.

You the air in front of you becomes slightly less opaque, roils fluidly and solidifies into a massive globule of water over 8 foot in diameter. It hovers in mid air for a moment before splashing down onto the ground and catching you and everything around you in a sudden deluge.
[str:5-1]
You get swept off your feet but flatten yourself as best you can against the floor and manage not to get washed off the ledge, though only just. Your pile of cloth, however, goes cascading down along with the water, landing with a fantastic flopping noise on the first floor.
((Three 5 rolls on potency with zero effect. Good luck figuring those words out.))
Well, that wasn't helpful. Time to try something else.
Point at the pillar again and say Secret Magicy Thing.
[pot:6]
You position yourself so that the rock is in front of you, a few feet away, just out of arms length. You point at it and say your word.
The air fills with a strange sort of sound, like glass breaking but in reverse, and the massive growth of iridescent, luminescent blue crystal sprouts from the rock and grows outward. You take a few steps back to stay out of the way as great spires and spikes of semitransparent blue, almost glass like crystal grow with distressing speed. Finally they stop, looking like a explosion springing from the side of the stone, frozen in time. They look very sharp and angular.
"Okay, no more dilly-dallying. Time for some experimentation."
Kin tries a new method of using words, first he points at that average guy and yell "Kelio" then he points at that nondescript guy and say the same word. In case Kin feel like it wouldn't work he prioritize for the average guy. Seems too lucky for his taste.
You speak your word twice, focusing on different targets each time
[pot:4]
[pot:3]
The first attempt results in a faint shimmer that launches off into the air in a vague arc before vanishing, while the other doesn't seem to result in anything other the a shimmer that fades.
Jared, feeling very...underwhelmed, turns around to see someone yelling while pointing at him. He puts his palms out while screaming, TRIALO SHUBHA! at THEM
((Just started, and I have already managed to accomplish a lack of anything. Also, is this how you would say 'two' words? By just writing them like that?))
(yeah, thats how you do it.)
[pot:5+1]
A vague and barely visible image of a thin rod or staff appears directly behind you before suddenly rocketing way from you at breakneck speeds and vanishing. Huh.
(Ohhhh, I'm so tempted to give you all a hint...because the method most of you are using to try and figure out how these words work simply isn't going to give you any meaningful result on like 90% of them. Maybe that in and of itself is enough of a hint...)
Did I "respawn"?

There are only ever 8 people in the ring at one time. You'll respawn once you come up in the waitlist because everyone before you has died. Don't worry, shouldn't take long. I believe the OP says this, though I could be wrong.
