The "component seeds" represent what abilities you have with that specific type of power. It is assumed you can perform pretty much any sort of basic spell/aura/psyche of the seeds you have. Like, you don't need to combine Blood Magic with anything to turn a corpse into a zombie, and it doesn't drain much of your mana. However, combining Blood Magic with Metacreative powers makes for a much more powerful zombie at the price of more mana.

By combining "component seeds" you can create a new WIZARDLY POWER, which basically means "epic spell". It takes time to research, create, and refine a WIZARDLY POWER and have it work as expected, but you can assemble any sort of WIZARDLY POWER on the fly and it stands a chance of working.

The definition of our current seeds is as follows, and is is cribbed from d20srd.org / Wikipedia.

I still do NOT UNDERSTAND SEEDS and their RELATIONSHIPS. WHAT would be the DIFFERENCE between a CHAOS and RITUAL-BASED 'SILENCE' POWER?

As the person who first suggested a plan, and one more sophisticated than a fiery suicide, i hereby use my non-existent veto against casting a big fireball in the room, unless we are meta-creative enough to make it only burn the enemies. (moving any heat near any of our minions or us to where the BOSS is would be a good idea, that way there's 4x the heat on him, and lots of little holes where we don't burn our minions)

Hell if I know.  Pretty humourous suggestion, but utterly useless in the case of roleplaying, if indeed the whole game world was one whole huge ass field of fruit.

+1 veto
I'm waiting on more info from Mister Vernal before finalizing my vote.
(though I'm leaning heavily towards some new-power prototyping)

I believe the GM previously stated that we could make a really big, hot one that can hit all of them w/o cooking our minions into nice little roasts.

The CONCEPTS are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE.

That means they don't play well together.

RITUAL takes an extra round and has a better chance of working. You PICK what you want and APPLY IT.

CHAOS is basically saying "Eh, FUCK IT" and throwing EVERYTHING at the concept and hoping some of it STICKS.

Should we use CHAOS, do we have to throw EVERYTHING, EVERY TIME? Even with PRACTICE? Or does it get better?

With CHAOS, you can do EVERYTHING, NOTHING, SOMETHING, and/or ANYTHING.

You just happen to think EVERYTHING is the best idea because you don't know what SOMETHING would be a GOOD THING, ANYTHING is open to WIZARDLY DEBATE, and NOTHING will just stop POWERS IN GENERAL for some time, leaving you MOSTLY USELESS.

Once we've created the spell, does the spell continue to suffer ill-effects of using chaos as it's base? (which are yet to be seen...is it as chaotic as CHAOS would suggest? If so, I don't see how anyone could make a bona-fide wizardly power with it- if conjuring a 3-story duck is just as likely as silencing the other wizard, you might as well make a single CHAOS spell and forget about it.)
However, if I'm following you, you can throw any of 4 different types of CHAOS at it- if you throw SOMETHING, it could make an ant or it could make a rather large supernova. NOTHING seems like a rather narrowly-defined possibility, unless it incorporates different methods of achieving NOTHING. ANYTHING is singular, while EVERYTHING is multiples. Is this correct?

CHAOS does not necessarily have ill effects. SOMETHING is specific. EVERYTHING is general. NOTHING is all the things that are not. ANYTHING is singular.

[It is possible you will make the wizard mute. It is possible you will make the wizard unable to cast. It is possible you will be unable to cast. It is possible that $RANDTARGET is unable to cast. You may grant Nullpower to some random target. You may end up having everyone be unable to talk. You may make the wizard deaf by mistake.

Chaos is very ambiguous. While it is certainly possible that you'll invoke a giant rubber duckie, you're far more likely to have unforseen consequences along the lines of what you actually want to do.]
