Challenge accepted. We're making this happen.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Name: Victor Nardovino
Male
Age: 16
Year: 2000
Description: Victor was just an average kid, average size. His brown hair and greenish-brown eyes didn't really get any attention, but he wasn't musculed. This wasn't the start of his problems, but it sure helped. He was always an outcast, he didn't have much money, he didn't do good in school, he didn't do good in sports. He slowly built a wall around himself, hid behind his own fantasy world. He used some... artificial things to acomplish this too. But this wand is apparantly real. And so is the journal. He just wanted to flee. And now he's here.

Attributes:
Strenght: -6
Endurance: -4
Quickness: -10
Cleverness: 10
Insight: -10
Power: 20 (Yes, that's right. I can say 10 syllables)

Starting Gear:
Clothes: Old jeans, used-to-be-white shirt.
Minor items: 5 grammes of LSD.
Major items: 9mm Pistol, two clips.

Prepare to meet your maker.

You can't go past a +/- 5 starting modifier.

Aaaw.

If'in you're accepting new faces, I'll give this a shot on the waiting list.

Spoiler: Matt Clayton (click to show/hide)

Name: Matt Clayton
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Description: Average build, shaved head, scraggly beard, green eyes.
Recap: "Strange wand and book in hand, house accidentally burnt down, roof of said house crashing on my car... Welp. Not much else to do but go with what the book seems to say. Still got my luck bat at least..."
Attributes Modifier
Strength: ± 0
Toughness: +3
Quickness: ± 0
Cleverness: +3
Insight: -3
Power: -3
Desired Clothes: Sturdy boots, pants with lots of pockets, t-shirt-collared-shirt combo, sturdy jacket, good gloves. Emphasis on function over fashion it seems.
Minor Items: Notebook with variety of pens, wallet with several keys that don't seem to go to anything in particular, and what looks like some, what you can only assume to be, defaulted cards, a stress ball, and strangely a small bag filled with variety of dice.
Major Item: 'Ole Slugger: Large Louisville Slugger bat made of oak, with some modifications, them being a metal cap screwed on the top with heavy bolts, and a re-wrapping on the handle for promoted grip. You don't think this is meant for baseball anymore.

Look down at the dog warily, if it attacks, or if doesn't attack, call out "Shoopus mah whoopus!"

The dog looks at Luther nervously. He responds with a spell. Or three. [5+2;2+2,13;11+2,17] He summons a sickly salamander with vestigial wings and eight emaciated legs, and...something. It's an ant with a beak and brightly-colored antennae, coughing up the occasional little fish with a feathered shell. The latter looks at him like a well-trained dog.

set wand to previous setting say word

Vikus sets his wand to ô and casts the spell. [6+1] Nothing happens.

CHUG FLASK.
Examine wand closely. Set it down. Move it around. Poke it. Poke it again. Pick it up. Look at it. Ask it how it's day has been. Poke it again.
Flick the wand dial a few times, put it back where it was.
Point wand at non-dominant hand.
"Sandwich."

Step one: Chug the flask. This fails, as it seems to be full of smoke, which causes Dimi to choke. You think this was a bad idea.
Step two: Examine wand. Dimi's wand seems safe. It does not seem to be sentient.
Step three: Twist the dial. It twists, seeming to only want to stay at spots where the node on the band is lined up with a rune. He sets it back to Θ.
Step four: Pointing the wand at one's hand does not seem to do anything.

Well, centipede, would you like to join me on my quest to enslave those wretched humans?
Tentatively approach the centipede. If it attacks me, claw the creature while saying the same word I sent you last time.

The centipede makes a strange, guttural hiss as Laren approaches. It isn't unfriendly, but it seems to like personal space.

Grab Wand, say Word.

Are you sure your character is still alive? Because I pretty sure I remember Archmage Coolguy being incinerated.

Point at chest and PM it

[7+3,16-1] Clair summons a badger (nicely done!) with a beak, tentacles, and wings. It looks at her interestedly.

What a nice menagerie. Wait, it's recording? Oops.
Ahem.

Nothing happens.

Oh, there's only six players. My bad.
Anyways...yeah, we're still recruiting.

[gman8181]

Eagerly awaiting to join... even though I don't really understand this game.  It looks fun though!

[Unholy_Pariah]

set wand to next random symbol, point at floor 6 feet ahead, yell corn

[GreatWyrmGold]

Here's how it works:
1. Wait for people to die.
2. Cast spells.
3. Did you survive the weird stuff? If so, goto 2 or 4. If not, goto 6.
4. Find trouble.
5. Goto 2.
6. Die. Let someone else in.

[gman8181]

Haha thanks but the part I don't get is with the symbols and how they influence spells along with certain words.

[GreatWyrmGold]

If it makes you feel better, I don't think anyone but me does. I don't think enough detailed experimentation has been done on the subject.

[Tsuchigumo550]

Point the wand at the ground.

"SANDWICH!"

I hope this is a word of power or something

[gman8181]

Is it words, letters or syllables that are actually used to cast magic?

Edit: Or should I just find out myself when I play?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Depends on what you mean.
1. Words are individual spells.
2. Syllables are individual parts of spells.
3. Letters determine what the syllables mean, and therefore what the spell does.

[gman8181]

Hmm I guess what I mean is, in a hypothetical situation maybe the word "peanut" casts a spell that creates a peanut with a top hat, a monocle and a cane.  Is it the word peanut that creates all of those attributes together or is it the individual parts of the word?  By that I mean if instead I simply said "pean"  as apposed to "peanut"  would that possibly create a peanut with a top hat and a monocle but no cane or would it create an entirely different spell with completely different effects such as a giant elephant that breathes fire?  Additionally within these words would it be the individual letters making up the effects or would it only be syllables or letter combinations making effects.  Like maybe "p" codes for peanut while "e" codes for monocles or conversely it could be that "pea" codes for peanut and "nut" for monocles while the individual letters "p" "e" "a" "n" "u" "t" don't do anything at all by themselves.  Then I suppose in addition to all that changing the wand settings complicates things even further.

Sorry if that wording sounds confusing, unclear, stupid or any combination of the prior but I'm kind of tired right now.  Anyway this all seems very interesting to me at any rate, which is why I'm so curious as to how it works.

[Angle]

What happened to my character, and my action?

[scapheap]

(name the badger Mark if boy, Amy if girl. Name badger's race Sugar badgers)

Search for something to kill(that not Mark/Amy)

Sasha is still alive, I'm now playing as my falcon.
