Relax.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Clair glare at the spider "Would you please die for me?"

PM spell. At spider, crushing intent.

[14+3,16-1] From Clair's wand bursts a mist of strange silvery stuff. It coalesces into a number of tendrils with odd axelike blades on their ends. The tendrils descend on the spider, constricting and slashing it. [2d6=9;1d6=3] Between this and the aftereffects of your previous misty weapons, the spider is firmly dead.
Within the magic circle come three bags filled with goop and a hand-and-a-half sword. [17+3-5] You recognize the bags as tanglefoot bags, a fictional alchemal item which entangles people with goop.

We both attack, me with my ineffective dirk.

[4;4-2] Not only is the dirk ineffective, Sasha's talons are as well! Both the Archmage and his familiar miss.

Name the spell "Berserker's Blessing". And loot Mues wand.

Jane writes the spell "Berserker's Blessing" in her spellbook.
(Which reminds me to write down this stuff.)
She then breaks her wand out of Meus's stony grasp, breaking a few fingers regretfully in the process.

What on Earth was that? I very well could have ended my life right there with this pitiful human wand.
Lick at my wounds, and point the wand at the wall while saying a word.

Laren contemplates how foolish its last spell was as it considers how to phrase its next one. [11-2] Nothing happens.

explore the southwest rooms, find an empty one and cycle through the runes on my wand to try and find what they do.

Vikus hurries south and west, coming into a huge room--over 100 feet to a side, with a ceiling at least 40 if not closer to 60 feet high. Oh my.
[13+1-5] The runes clearly mean something. φ, Θ, ⌂, α, ╒, and ô show up a lot in that ancient journal, but always as something you're supposed to "get" already. φ and Θ seem to be used similarly. [15+1-2] You remember that some of the notes call for rotating the wand's band partway through the incantation, but you can't remember why.

Write down the words.
Examine wand, to see the runes, then close eyes and choose one at random.

(Care to name the spell?)
Dimi scrawls the spell in his spellbook. He then glances at his wand. φ, Θ, ⌂, α, ╒, and ô...Such a nice set of runes. As he turns the band, it ends up on the ╒.

-----

The five mages and Laren experiment and recall.
Meanwhile, the centipede resteth not. [6+1v3-2] The archmage stumbles into the massive arthropod's strike, [2d10+2:10;15-2] nearly lopping off an arm. [6-2,1d4:4] He is nearly paralyzed, [10-8,1d3:2] and has only a couple turns left to live in any case.

-----

In that case Can I join on waitlist A?  And if so would the Necronomicon be considered a valid major item?

Yes, if you post a character sheet; and not if you want the original.

Relax.

You actually already posted an action.
Three tabs in Chrome again?
(Funnily enough, I have half a dozen open in this window right now, and can operate with...a score, at least. I've managed past the point that the tabs can't hold the page icons anymore, although I don't like to...)

(Die faster! I gotta get back in! Hopefully with another Life Wand)

Yeah, most of the bonuses in that direction are from actions. Keep up the 20's and 1's.

Anyways, the biggest issue I have with my system at this point is that there's no way to heal HP or other damage without magic. Since (AFAIK) you don't have enough of an idea of how magic works to benefit much from my hints in that direction, we need mundane healing. Obviously, bleeding out should be stoppable, but what Attributes would help? What would be a reasonable requirement to actually heal HP damage?

Oh, and pool your knowledge in experimentation and such. It was the only way to do much in Perplexicon, it's even more so here.

[gman8181]

I would like to go on either (or both) wait lists.  I'm kind of tired right now, but I'll post a character sheet later (probably tomorrow) if it's okay for me to get in on this.

[Remuthra]

Do I have any mana left?
I need to do some sort of crazy stunt.

[Unholy_Pariah]

manually turn the band stopping on each rune and trying to determine its purpose then moving on to the next,
at the end set it to φ

once finished point at the floor and say stuff

[GreatWyrmGold]

Check the OP.
You have 3.

Spoiler: Corbin Alhazred (click to show/hide)

Name: Corbin Alhazred
Gender: Male
Description: He only recently awoke from a fugue state, during which he seemed to have studied a whole heck of a lot about the occult, at some point incurring serious burns, covering about 3/4 of his body, one eye is green while the other is yellow, and, likely due to an accident while performing some necromancy, he is much taller than normal, at 7ft 5in.  He doesn't really remember what all he did or learned while in his fugue, but he does get snatches of it every now and again.  He cannot stand to be without the heavily bound leather tome marked 'Necronomicon', although it appears  to be a hand written copy of the book, and most of it isn't in a familiar alphabet, and the parts that are seem to be gibberish.

Wand: 40cm long, made of black ironwood.

Clothes: -Heavy work boots, steel toe, covered in white symbols from every religion and cult out there
  -Long greatcoat, covered in occult symbols and incantations, any effect they may have is unknown, tan
  -Heavy duty slacks, four pockets + watch pocket
  -Heavy long sleeve shirt
  -Black leather gloves, covered in occult symbols
  -Black fedora, covered in occult symbols

Major item: Hand written copy of Necronomicon (mostly illegible, can get snatches of it every now an again)
Minor items: - brass pocket watch, engraved with occult symbols, mechanical, cannot be wound, does not need to be wound
  -sacrificial dagger (see, bowie knife)
  -lot's of white chalk
  -vial of human blood
  -picture of some girl he must've met whilst in the fugue state

Stats:
Strength: +1
Toughness: +1
Quickness: -2
Cleverness: +1
Insight: 0
Power: -1

I believe that's everything, so, put me on waitlist A pretty please.  And if I've don't something wrong, do tell, and it shall be fixed.

id say it should need materials or tools relevant to the injury type and should probably use cleverness.
as for healing hp... you could always take a turn off to regenerate a small amount or try your hand at making healing potions through alchemy with cleverness?

[Remuthra]

In that case, Falcon attack and PM spell aimed at everything.

[Wwolin]

No... that didn't work at all. What could have these miserable humans have been thinking when they created something like this?

Point wand at wall and say word. Then head east.

The only problem is that neither I nor many of you are medical students. What kind of materials or tools would be "relevant" to a given injury?


Oh, and as you may know, I'm running two games where people are being secretive about spells; many of you are in both. If you PM me a spell, please include "Infimicon" in the PM's subject line. (javierpwn, I'm looking at you...)

alright, hold a wand  each hand and say Word.

well lets say someone gets a nasty gash in their arm, they can either bandage it tightly with cloth or sew it shut with a needle and thread, whereas if they have say a severed leg they'd need to use a tourniquet or cauterize the wound to halt the blood loss.

[scapheap]

Change to the Θ rune, PM spell at a wall. Get tanglefoot.

[miauw62]

Oooh. I wonder what rune is the breastplate rune.
