The exception is black hole, by the way.

And that spell i guess is Zentol? Since its potentially dangerous to the caster, and as far as i know Zentol is the only magic spell that can perma kill the caster (Due to corruption n stuff right?)

No, Zentol invokes the Other and is mostly not worth using due to devouring you after 8 corruption points. Black hole is a different word.

Zentol's probably safer, as you know when to stop.

...Has anyone tried weaponizing zentol? I think I know what to test next time Stephen needs to kill something...

I know it takes at least one corruption point to kill a monster (more depending on how powerful they are) and whenever you say Zentol anything else you say is disregarded, so it would be a very short lived weaponization. Unless you're willing to make multiple suicide-bomber characters. Which would get boring after a while. Not to mention that you would lack the firepower to go after a serious enemy, like an optional boss, a sealer or the Other himself.

What would be fun is somehow managing to contact the Other and form a pact with him, to battle against all players that seek to destroy him in exchange for power... unlimited power! Something like pledging yourself to the Other instead of one of the 8.

I meant using black hole to stop Zentol, not that Zentol is black hole word. I dont know Black Hole.

The Z-word appears to be a Faustian "get out jail free card."  I have yet to see it fail, other than the whole selling your soul bit.


Singularities, by comparison, tend to do their damage and be done with.

Well, battle happens somewhat like this (If I've made any mistakes or forgotten something important, please correct me):
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So as you can see, you'll rarely get a chance to react against black holes, so you'll rarely get a chance to destroy the black hole with Zentol.

Heh, black hole is capable of being made somewhat safer for the user. Think about trees.

I guess Black Hole is an super weird word requiring 4889489 reagents, right :P?

Out of my reach currently.

Nope, the word is fairly simple. Using it safely however, THAT takes some skill and knowledge (or luck). And defending from it takes EVEN more, since it doesn't cause damage by touching you but by its mere presence. However defending from it is possible, with the right actions or words and some luck.

Hint: You'll probably kill yourself the moment you discover that word.

Hm...I wonder what "Solid Black-Hole" would be like. Or, say, "Small Staff Control Black-Hole", perhaps.

...I wonder if there are color words or words for "Hole" and such.

At some point, I'm gonna try draw B9 on someone to see if it inflicts horribly pain at them.

Also, what about the Zentol's Eye (that thing in the cliff-hole)? Perhaps Zentol isn't the horrible eldritch beast we think he is. Perhaps he just has Blue and Orange Morality.

Come on, people- I know one of you wants to try being full-body vacuum.


Tongue vacuum would be much more hilarious, though, if only for potentially eating your own face.
