I didnt say death isnt a possibility. For some reason people thinks that for me saying how im gonna attempt to get big power im assuming that i got a 100% chance to complete it without any kind of error, or that i will become immortal...

Wait, wait, wait. If someone thinks they can be nigh-invincible, did someone figure out how to block arcane death-ray? I'm still relatively sure that cuts through anything. Anything.
It's not kinetic force, it's not heat, it's not sentient, it is simply the antithesis to existence. I still fail to see how spiky, poisoned armor will stop that.

Not to mention there's almost always someone who manipulates all the interesting materials. Suffice to say, when you modify someone made of an element you control there is no opposed will roll. If you have 0 and they have infinite will, but you roll a six minus one meaning a five, they still get turned into a cube the size of your nail.

I just don't get how anyone feels safe in this game. You're at the mercy of a quirky alliance system. No more, no less. If everyone, or even just one lucky bastard, decides they don't like you, then you won't spend much longer as anything recognizable as living.

Use blackhole to absorb laser deathray. Or use Arcane Control to redirect it. Did anyone try a mirror already? Or becoming antimagic metal?
Anyways now that i know the dimension creator circle, i will make my own dimension on where everything will attempt to kill anything that isnt me or an ally.

And in will battles, it ends up being whos the most lucky. If they convert you into a little cube, you will to become back what you where, then make something to him.
And of course, ensured 5-6 rolls help too. (And its hard to concentrate your will while a fliying sword tries to impale you, a extremely poisonous snake is getting near your feet, that thing that you though a rock isnt a rock, a big shadow is appearing behind you, and you got a sphere of living fire over your head).
And its not like i was gonna go around alone.
Anyways, apart of the mask what more powers Scarlon gives you?

I dunno. I'm the only one that knows how to make anti-magic metal, and I haven't tested it much yet, since I discovered it so recently. I'll try some more armor experiments soon. Assuming there is a soon.


And as soon as someone destroys the circle, you will appear outside, probably over a pit with arcane spikes.

And piecewise said it doesn't work like that. Biggest will roll always wins. And people always get defense will rolls.

And just search the status post for scarlon.

I feel like I got handed the short Straw with NulSheal. I got to control sand...

On the bright side, I have Sand Blades; which should be moderately sharp, and probably get sand in your wounds.

There have been sandstorms that have killed people by grinding away the skin and bone. Also, sand grains are about the same size as what mass effect guns scrape off their ammo blocks. That should give you a idea.

Now if only I had 1 Will instead of 0......

Sandstorm Minion would be a great idea! Especially if I toss some sharp objects in there! And the best part about a sandstorm: You can't escape the sand as long as there is a hole in your armor!

It's kinda like superheroes. There are no shitty powers, only superheroes who don't know how to properly use theirs.
There's a superhero somewhere who...well...which trope did I find the link to him under? Well, his power was pretty terrible. It was a very limited ability to force others to tell the truth and was discovered in a way that lead to the hero's divorce. And he was in a webcomic.

Sand control is not such a power.

You ever read Worm? That type of superhero inventiveness is abound in spades there.

There are many ways that could be more impressive, such as a background, or doing something useful with the sand.

[FELLOW BLASTELLIANS, WE MUST SHOW THE ERROR OF THIS MAN'S WAY, PHYSICAL POWER TRUMPS ALL IN THE ARENA OF TRUE FIGHTING! TRUE HONOR! TRUE BLOODSHED!/Ham]

I have decided my next character will be a woman. That way you will feel bad for killing a woman (Or better, a little girl!). Anyways, of course, i wont have this kind of power at beggining. Is more of an over time thing. It still doesnt stop me of getting three initial companions of up to 4 words.
((You really underestimate how indiscriminate people are in these games. They tend to kill anyone who is a threat, every last man, woman and child. Also, how do you intend to amass that many souls so quickly? Not even Cog who spends almost all of his time has gained that many souls.

Also, dimension circles are both costly and unstable, you'll need an entire team to power it up initially and it'll still quickly destabilize. Also, hiding in some alternate dimension isn't the best idea if you can't get out without deactivating it.

Finally, the two major teams seem rather concerned by your ambition. Generally not the best idea to aggro the people who know how to buff pretty much all of their stats or mass produce minions that fire blackholes. And assuming you succeed, anyone who you piss off can end you via Zentol, sure it'll probably kill them, but it'll also kill you.))
