Susan rubs the cat's belly while waiting for her mana to regenerate.
You pet the cat on it's cylindrical belly.
"Alright little guy, where are you from?" Selande doesn't expect to get an answer but one can never know in a crazy situation like this.
"Let's try 'Karenthar Halthel Zzeralthonth.'"
((See if this work.))
[pot:4-1]
You manage to summon a tiny, furry biped; it's only 8 or so inches tall, covered in white fur, bearing digitigrade legs and large padded paws instead of feet or hands. It's head is a rather uncanny mix of feline and human and it looks at you with wide yellow eyes before scampering away.
At least your death was warm and fuzzy.
I could play with the lion...
Neato.
Land near the 4th floor south stairs. Say magic of the day.
You fly back down to the 4th floor south stairs and land, retracting your wings before saying the word of the day.
[pot:2+1]
The electrical charge arcing over your staff and through your hand seems to increase in intensity, your flesh glowing brighter and the random discharges on your staff coming faster and more powerful.
Calmly talk to the lion while I back away. Run if it tries to attack me.
...That was nothing like what I hoped would happen.
You back away from the lion and down into the north stairwell. The lion watches you go, growls once more and then takes flight, rising to the 5th level and taking up a position on one of the pillars in the north.
Derm looked around. He looked at the book.
"Well. This is new."
Walk in a random direction and try to find someone.
execute plan of magical greediness.

[waldo dex:3+1]
Waldo, seeing a new person joining him and the rest of the merry band of wizards in the pit, promptly flips his shit and starts hurling grenade fruits.
[waldo dex:1+1]
[waldo str:5-1]
The grenade fruit misses Derm completely and explodes harmlessly down on the second level.
"Well...how about this?!" You say before you shout your chosen magical words.
[pot:1+1]
A bit of static cling level electricity sparks out in a thin beam that vanishes a few feet in front of you
"Mother fucker..."
Derm, completely unaware of the fact that someone has just failed to kill him, wanders over toward Possibly and Hydrus but stops as Possibly points at him and yells
"Stay away, you. I've got magic and I'm not afraid to use it!"
"Well, that could have been fun. Guess not."
Say Words. If Derm gets within six feet of me, use Different Words.
((I know I'm known for overreacting, but Derm is kind of the Avatar of Collateral Damage.))
[pot:2+1]
A small cube of liquid appears near you, holds it's shape for a moment, and then splashes to the ground. You draw closer and look at the liquid, smelling it a bit. You recognize that smell.
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOZE!" You say, leaping up and down, thrilled to your very soul.
