So you cant just summon a grabber and then enchant it to also project a shield at will?

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

I don't know how this weapon is supposed to work, but if shape changing is the only problem, can't you use a reusable mark or a conditional rune (use the one that activates when hit for example to do buttons.) to achieve that?

For those of us that don't know what this object is, can someone please describe it for me?

It's basically a nondescript object that could be used either grab and suck the humanity out of people or used as a sort of energy shield. The Problem I'm having is the way the system parses things, if I combine the two actions I would end up with an object that had the ability to suck ethereal walls out of people. Oh well, I think I've got a way to do it.

And here I was thinking people would be more interested in the scythe that causes massive hemorrhaging even with minor cuts or the flaming sword that gets more powerful the more pool you have. That would have shown off an interesting magic circle too.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Well, I'm giving the way to make it to whats his name, not everyone. If he wants to share, he can.

Doing that is easy, it's doing it in a way that makes sense for the system that is hard.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

Just kidding, but I want to know because knowledge like that means another game :D

We're apparently going Ancient Alchemical Alphabetical here.

Also I like how I basically just assumed leadership as soon as I joined.

I can't wait until you two teams start competing even more and start killing each other... or at least i hope that happens. That'll be real fun. A war with highly versatile magic.... has a nice ring to it...
