Anyone mind if I make a character and wait here for death?

So for the wait list and stuff.

Damn slacker GMs

Touch the Fog with hand, and see if it spreads. (Im pretty sure i included the word for full body?). Ill asumme my magic has regenerated and try Magic.
If someone gets nearby run. If i cant run, yell Myxida(Blackhole) at who gets nearby while pointing him with finger.

It's not visible any more.  Somehow, you can sense it's there, but it doesn't seem to be visible or interact in any way.  Shrugging, you move on to your magic.

[Pot:3+1]  Magical ley lines flow across your skin.  They form together in a loose configuration, then settle in to your skin, shining faintly.

As soon as your spell is over, the grey fog appears and bursts.  Another set of ley lines appears, overwriting the one you just cast, but they fail to connect and form anything.  They disperse instead.

Huh.


Research!

Magical research must continue if you wish to verb yourself at everyone.

[Pot:5+1]  A huge glob of slime appears and splatters down in front of you.  Yuck- it's on your legs!

[Pot:6+1]  A tree trunk appears in front of you and slams to the ground.  Woody.  As far as you can tell, it's normal wood- not like you can pick it up and really test it.

[Pot:4+1]  Another set of boards appear.  You pick one up and smack the pile with it, and it snaps easily.  Hm.


Derek tries his best to pull himself off of the ground,  If he succeeds, he'll try to hit the muscled man with his spellbook.  He needs to get that crazy guy off of his companion!
stuff
"H-Haer.."

[Derek Spd: 4]
[Pariah Spd: 4]
[Myra Spd: 2]

[Derek Dex:5-1]
[Pariah Dex:1+1]

[Derek Str:5-1]
[Pariah End:3]

Derek finds he is able to swing himself on his hands enough to get at Pariah, who is too focused on casting to get away in time.  Derek cracks him in the side of the knee with his spellbook, and Pariah swears and grabs it... right after his spell fires off.

[Pariah Pot:4]

[Pariah Str:1+1]
[Derek Str:4-1]
[Myra Str:4]

A point of darkness of infinitesimal size and extreme mass appears, sucking everything and everyone nearby inward with its gravitational force.  Myra, a bit back, holds her ground, while Derek scrabbles at the floor, getting dragged a bit toward it and scraping his face.  Pariah, ironically, is the only one unable to resist, distracted by the blow to the knee.  He flies toward it and his midsection is sucked inward, sending his legs one way and his head another.  Both quickly crumble to ash as the vacuum vanishes.

Myra just stares, forgoing saying her word as her assailant is torn asunder.


[Pariah is dead.  His power goes to no one.]


Pioncale Ustrint Anneell Toussmism

Perhaps this vacuum existence isn't all it is cracked up to be?  You have to struggle to stabilize yourself before you can try to reverse it.

[Str:4-1]  You scrunch inward even more- this spell better work!

[Pot:5+1]  You speak your words, and the ley lines form across your body, overpowering the extreme vacuum and restoring your flesh, before they flash and activate.  Your frame shrinks inward and turns to gold.  Electric arcs flow out from your inner core and fill in the gaps.  Something- you're not sure what, seems to shimmer around your body.  You can't tell what it is until you nudge a loose rock with your foot, and it is repelled much harder than you would expect.  Huh.

Unfortunately, you're also about three feet tall thanks to the residual effects of your vacuum existence.


move away from derm then: Aion, Noyaniumma Fircerain

You get away from the scary man, and work your magic.

[Pot:5]  Nothing happens that you notice.

[Pot:5]  A sinister-looking whip forms in the air and falls to the ground.  It's formed entirely of magma, its lash steaming and boiling.  Nasty.


Colatica
-seperate-
Zibr


[Pot:3+1]  Nothing happens.

[Pot:2+1]  Nothing continues to happen.


Dave appears by the eastern wall of the Spike Room.  He looks at the spikes lining the wall to the south of him- better not hug those.

Black holes are now tied with the spike wall for most popular method of death.

"I need a better method of testing those, it appears..."

More tests!

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

Use this turn to focus onto obtaining potency.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.

Use this turn to focus onto obtaining potency.

If you're saying you wish to overdrive, note that it'd come and be gone this turn.  If you're just trying to buff yourself for next turn, that won't work.  See below.

I don't suppose you could update the op with the extra rules?  I think it would be easier for newcomers.  (dodge rules etc.)

Anyone have words they want me to try?
Eeeeh, if you find control word, please tell me.
Anyways, you should go back and see the words you tried and didnt do anything, and use them along with other words.

Good idea, and done.  I did make a small clarification- I had intentionally intended that this wouldn't work for Potency, or Strength if used on a melee attack, but decided that was a bit arbitrary- and I never actually said that.  Instead, I specified that if used for Potency, it only applies to the first spell cast in a turn, and dropped the Strength bit.  As such, Sarzael, said action does indeed work.
