I find this conversation confusing because I don't even remember any "intangibility" happening in the first place. Maybe it only lasted a turn or two or was overwritten by another enchantment?
Im pretty sure there have been atleast two people who has used word for Immaterial.

No turn likely tonight, sadly.


If a spell or interaction doesn't go like you think it should, there are three possibilities:

1.  The spell (or item) doesn't work like you think it does.
2.  Mod error.
3.  Another player has changed the situation in a way you don't realize.


If you think it's the second case, please tell me and I will double check- I have already screwed up a couple things.  Remember, though, that the game is based on information intentionally withheld from you, so be careful when you assume.

I think I'm over the hump.  So far I think I can tell I was at some point exchanging caffeine for enough sleep, and modifications have been made there.

But good news for the future- caffeine free Coke Zero does exist!



Actions!

[Pot:2]  Magical ley lines attempt to encircle your head, but they fail to connect or activate.  They fade away, leaving no trace.


Hmm. Do I notice any special Qualities to that Plant Liger I summoned?

Moar Science! Upsopi Abioutt Ollospon Enur!

Yep, it's made of plants, all right.  Hmmm... it took slamming into that wall like a champ, at least.


[Pot:3+1]  A housecat made of plants appears in the air before you.  It hovers there for a second before rocketing into the far wall.  It hits the wall with a thud, falls, and lies still.

You cat killer.


Try again, imagining a sword with a steel handle and arcane blade:
"Josionp Lodr Jupedem."

Unhappy with your supersword, you try again.

[Pot:4+1]  You get pretty much exactly what you wanted.  Bingo.


Observe the room and then Actions!
One soul to pool one soul to dexterity. Actions!
Finally up, do some actions!
Action Time!

[Ocil Spd:2+1]
[Alish Spd:6-1]
[Dave Spd:2]
[Andy Spd:3-1]
[Lionbat Spd:3]

Alish sticks her hand into the plastic.  It goes straight through.  Hmm.

Shrugging, she runs up to intercept Ocil, who is coming out of the grand room.  She leaps at him to bash him with her arm... which goes straight through him.  He turns, cocks his head at Alish, then points and laughs.

"Ha ha!"

Ocil continues on to his intended target, Andy, and goes to put the boot in.

[Ocil Dex:4+1]
[Andy Dex:5+1-2]

[Ocil Str:4+1]
[Andy End:4+1]

Ocil stomps hard on his neck.  Andy coughs, sputters, and wheezes, but doesn't look permanently injured, so Ocil kicks him in the head.

[Ocil Dex:5+1]
[Andy Dex:5+1-2]

[Ocil Str:3+1]
[Andy End:2+1]

Andy blacks out.


[Lionbat End:4]

The lionbat screams again.  It faces Dave and charges.

[Lionbat Dex:6]
[Dave Dex:3]

[Lionbat Str:4]
[Dave End:1]

This time, he plows into Dave dead center and slashes him with his claws.  His chestplate is fractured, only still covering him because he is now on his back.  It's beginning to heat up from the lionbat's body, as well.

Dave and Andy are unable to do anything due to injuries received and outside-intervention based change of plan.


WORDS AND SCHEMING TO COCK-BLOCK MAGIC ITSELF!

Fearful of what you have wrought upon yourself, you try to counteract it.

[Pot:2+1]  The same thing happens again, except this time over your left shoulder.  You sense that they're both there now.

You look at your right shoulder, but nothing happens- even when you poke it.

You know what I've been replacing sleep with?

Nothing whatsoever.

My current sleeping schedule is messed up.

I've been replacing sleep with Dungeons of Dredmor. "Messed up" doesn't even begin to describe my sleep patterns.
