How large is the radius for my grenades?

Well, that would depend on the roll you get for it. It can be anywhere from YOU to YOU and THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU, to YOU and EVERYONE ON THE SAME PILE OF GARBAGE AS YOU, to NOT YOU and EVERYONE WITHIN 5 METRES OF IT.

Although as a general, it'll usually be about...5-10 metres.

One foot larger than your jumping distance.

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.

Can I stealth?  Are spells exactly as they are in magicka, provided you succeed in casting them?

For special casting spells, how do you tell how strong they are? Like if I set oil onf ire and stand in it, how much would it heal me for? Does it heal for the same amount of damage it does to others?

You can stealth...in the way that Rogues can crouch walk, staying invisible. And the Invisibility Magicka. But both make you Visible when you cast a spell or attack.

Magicks can only be cast once you have the book. Even if, say, you try to cast Revive by selecting Life and Lightning and casting it over someone's body, it'll just shoot a very friendly bolt of painful healing electricity in front of you.

For special casting spells, how do you tell how strong they are? Like if I set oil onf ire and stand in it, how much would it heal me for? Does it heal for the same amount of damage it does to others?
It would INDEED do the same amount of damage it would do to others.

How do you calculate damage?

If a player asks you to describe a particular object or part of scenery in more detail, is it wise to withhold an action until your answer?

What happens if someone doesn't post their action before the turn is ready?

Can people take staves and weapons from other players? What about robes?

Is the -1 to magic of Support Robe connected to the staff or to the robe itself? The staff's description is unclear on that.

1. I calculate damage...by how I feel that day. If you're throwing a giant rock at someone's face, then they'll take around 50 damage. I'm going to have to take some liberties with this project, as the actual damage calculation in Magicka is beyond confusing. I might figure something out by the time the game starts, but until then, approximations will have to do.

2. It depends on whether it's something like the CONTENTS of a certain pile of junk, or what colour it is. It all depends on whether the object is truly important. I mean, it's silly to withhold your action until I reveal what shape a certain piece of metal one guy is holding is in. But if it's between a pile of junk filled with toxic chemicals, one with a lot of wood, or one with semi-used propane tanks, you might want to.

3. Likely what will happen is I'll roll a dice to have them auto-attack someone with a particular element, or their weapon. Otherwise, I might have them idle. Which might be a bit cruel in some situations.

4. No. Definitely not. Even though it was possible in the game, that would be too OP here. The only way to acquire new staves and weapons is either to FIND them somewhere on the battlefield, which are ones that are then added to your personal collection of items that you can choose from to start a match with, or buy some between matches, which are also added to your collection.

5. It is indeed connected to the staff.

Cyber Robe says that it can be healed by electricity... does this mean I can be healed by other sources as well?

Yes, unlike the Mega Villain robes, the Cyber Robe allows normal healing alongside Electroshock Therapy.

MWAHAHAHA

Ahem. Can we use improvised weapons? Like can I pick up a metal bar in the junkyard and beat a foe over the head with it?

Sure, but it won't be too incredibly effective. You're SQUISHY mages, not BRITTLE mages.

I also must point out the fact that most melee weapons will do AROUND the same damage. Ones such as the Extra Blunt Sword would do a bit more, as they're fucking huge.

Technically, yes. Sure, not all have NAMES, but there's a spell for every one.
