((@toaster, what are the rankings for ley line rolls? As in 6 is permanent etc.))

be somewhat concerned by the fact a black hole is following me, perform magical actions.

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.

Second, I should note something on form rolls, since they're all the rage these days.  Here's a table of what happens from your pot roll:

0 and below:  Very bad things
1: Bad things
2: Nothing
3: Instant activation, 3 turn duration
4: One shot form
5: Activate at will, reusable
6: Instant activation, activate at will, reusable
7: Instant activation, always on
8+: Permanently on, unless you figure out how to get rid of it (And the higher the roll the harder it is to get rid of)

Do note that if you roll a 4 or 5 the form will not activate unless you specifically say to activate it.

((People keep calling it a vacuum, but it doesn't act much like one. Nor much like a black hole. I'm hunching that Mydidia is some kind of attractive force, perhaps gravity.))
((It seems to work as an extreme lack of matter in a given point (with unnatural matter levels below 0). If it were a black hole, it wouldn't cease to exist, as it should actually grow. The vacuum also explains why it dissapears: because it has been filled.))
((Hence:))

((While discussing these things is fun, I sometimes find that as it already is defying the laws of physics this doesn't have much sense, but I will keep on discussing anyway.
Arguments:
1) If it crushes matter, then there would be at least a point of an incredible wheight where the black hole used to be. hat point would inmediately fall and maybe break the floor.
2) Black holes do not dissapear over time. They keep growing as long as there is mass to absorb.
3) People made of black hole-thing has to do an endurance roll upon absorbing stuff, thus absorbing stuff weakens them, unless they roll high enough
4) As it is not "antimatter", but an impossible physically but mathematically feasible "negative matter", that, as negative numbers and positive numbers, negates its opposite.
5) The "classification" argument may be invalid considering how Toaster is not sure of what it is exactly))
