The kind that runs off with other people's kills, of course. We haven't seen any other details yet.
The second worst type of elf!

You decide to ignore the elves and go back to the magitechnicia lab.

As you look around, you see that there is actually more metals here now, and start on making undead cyborg frogs. Alive they are not (this might've actually killed them more dead, looking at them), but they are successfully activated as cyborg remote control things. Perhaps this would work better with an AI instead of trying to revive frogs, but if you're going to try to build one of those you might as well have something more interesting than, well, frogs. Burnt ones at that, even.

We should build a walking, fire-breathing robot lizard contraption that looks awesome and can be used in celebration and/or demonstrating our awesomeness.

After all, Sunday is the day of rest, so clearly you should spend it breaking things. :P

So, how do enchantments work in this? Dothey operate off of an 'Enchantment' skill, or do they operate off of the magic skill the spell would nomally use when evocated?

As in, if we wanted to make a ring that acted as a welding torch when we dump magic into it, would we need to learn enchanting, or could we use pyromancy?

+1 to the robot; start construction at least.

Maybe, in the morning we go to the sunday market and buy a bag of apples (assuming it isn't too expensive)? Then divide time between robot making and refining wriggliness essence. Also, try to find that wizard we sold the wriggliness to last time and ask them what they were using it for.

+1 to robutts, but is it going to be more of a living construct, like a golem, or an actual robutt?

Enchantments are based off of one of two things:
1. The most relevant magic skill (So you could make a welding ring via pyromancy, yes)
2. Metamagery (for things that don't fit any skills we know. This is the more difficult way.)

Actual robutt. Doesn't have to be smart, just do the cool stuff. Also fuck practicality, we're experimenting. :3

You head back to go buy some apples, and return some time later with a good amount of them and somewhat less gold. Heading to alchemy, you peek through the door to see what he wanted the wiggliness for, and then see something on him wiggling that you didn't really want to see wiggling by itself. You stick a Do Disturb sign on there and leave in haste.
Then you get an idea for a giant walking firebreathing lizard...robutt? Maybe you've been outside too much today, that last part doesn't make any sense. But theres plenty of scrap and it would be entertaining anyway.

First, you grab a lizard and remove its arse. You leave the rest of the lizard to cook while you start building the Walking Fire Lizard Robutt, starting with the butt before the lizard butt gets ruined. Its not the best, but its mechanized somewhat. The rest of that area is fairly simple until you get to the legs. The legs are a failure, in almost any sense of the word. You bring out your flame blade and get to work rearranging the wreckage into wheels instead, with reasonable success. Though now that you have it out, there was a few rough edges in need of smoothing out before you move on, so you melt them into smoothness and move on while its cooling off.

Next is the Flame breathing apparatus. You go and quickly check your pyromancy book for something that would help while its cooling, and then open your closet looking for the materials. You only find the red feathers (which are a poor substitute for what you're supposed to use for a pyroagent, but were cheaper and enough fire will get it to work anyway), but a large amount of heat later (and a large bucket of water so you don't just melt your construct while adding them, though you were thirsty anyway), you have several pyroagents. You adjust the robutt so it can open and close and then add the fire breathing contraption to the inside of it more or less securely. You dump the pyroagents inside except for one, drop that one into the ignition, and hope it doesn't just explode instead of starting up.

For lack of a better term, the 'glorious' 3-feet tall, 3-feet wide robotic flaming butt starts up. The doorway is undamaged by the test fire though; theres been far worst attacks than that on it. You walk it outside and attach a note since it won't fit in your room.

Ridiculous or not, the Fire-breather Robutt is built and owned by Petra Arcane. Steal at your own peril.


...Later on, theres another note attached to it:

Terrible. Mechanically impressive. Appraise you above average now.

Can you be more specific? We haven't done anything in particular that would be called insane for a wizard academy.

It's a shame we didn't make the robutt intelligent. Maybe we could do that later with an MMI or something. If we do, I am voting to find that cat we encountered in the alley and use that.

Enchantments are based off of one of two things:
1. The most relevant magic skill (So you could make a welding ring via pyromancy, yes)
2. Metamagery (for things that don't fit any skills we know. This is the more difficult way.)
Ah, something like what I was hoping.... I am assuming all the magics listed won't be the only magics available?

See what happens when we alchemise something (the grass, maybe) using air as the second reagent.

While we're at it, design a robot torso to add to the...robutt.

No, we should add an absurdly small bird-like head to it! It would amuse us!

Yep, we just have to find out about them first. For now the magery status is not that useful, but it'll keep track of all the kinds we've heard of.
