My guess is that it's at tier one. Why? Five points into presumable class skill. How do we test this? Simple.

Proxxy - zap it with lowest level of 'ZAP' skill.

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.

He's right. One point = +1. We're fine. But yeah, no ZAP!!! for now.

It's a skill. Who says all skills are magic? It's worth a try, even of just to classify if it's magic. And if it is... What's the use of the SP down here anyway? That's partly why I said the lowest setting.

Personally, I think we should initiate Tactical Combat to see if spells will work. It seems to turn every action into a 15 or so, so it might just work for the enemy and Proxxy, but not for Ciro and Cherish as they lack magic stat points.

I feel like that's something to test after we finish fighting the mage with the +5 to all magic. Because testing to see if we can do magic while we're fighting someone who's primary focus is magic seems like a bad idea to me.

How about we whack 'em? Shoot'em-grapple'em-slash'em-make'em dead.

Agreed. More specifically:

Ciro shoots
Everyone else basic melee attacks
; Proxxy specifically does NOT use the Proxxy Coil due to possibility of enemy absorption (especially since the base damage isn't any better than punching.)

Thank goodness Blood Shotguns aren't magical in the freeformverse.

my two cents: no attacking. odds are that this mage is way more powerful than we are. Ask questions first, shoot later.

We already failed at communication. Proxxy tried, and I don't know if there was even a roll for that.

But have we tried with Ciro, from which the spirit originates, and who can create spirits from ourselves?
I say we try to absorb the spirit using our Soul Star. Just sort of..... keep whacking the spirit with it until they get absorbed.

The one thing that annoys me is that there is too much munchkining and not enough crazy. Are you men or dwarves?
