Time to refresh my download.  ;)

This is the link, right? I'm glad I bookmarked it.
Meanwhile:
Speed:[5+0]vs[6+1.5]
Speed[1+1.5]
Potential[1+2.5]vs[4+0]......[5+2.5]
Combat[4+3][3+3][3+3][1+3]vs[5+0]
Meta decides the safest place, upon hearing the words sliding out of of Flimsy's dying breaths, would be behind the pillar, and possibly upwards in the only remaining direction. He tries to climb up the polished rock walls, though, rather than the glowing pillar in the middle. Flimsy's spell completes quickly, though, and backfires in a big way. The fires that erupt around him completely envelope him, and poor forth. The pillar protects Meta, slightly, as he stands in the strip of floor not scorched by billowing flames of white, yellow, blue, purple, and black. The explosion is completely smokeless, and beings made of fire and flame with glowing eyes can be seen erupting forth with the fires that melt away the very walls of the room. The explosion dies down, and the flaming rocks are left sizzling and cracking, and the flaming demons standing there, all staring at where Flimsy stood. They ignore Meta, and all point at the lump of quivering, charred, and mostly on fire flesh that is Flimsy, who is clearly now evaporating.
The limbs of the fire beings all turn to tentacles of flame, and grab Flimsy. They quickly tear him apart, digit from digit, as Meta stares on in horror. When the deed is done, and nothing remains of Flimsy, the fire beings all disappear, leaving Meta alone in a room of melting stone.
Which on the far side, melts away into a cavern on the far side, offering escape if only Meta could figure out a way across the molten floor.


Winner: Meta!
Yup, thats the link. I'm currently just running through and adding descriptions to everything. Blarg.


Before it wasn't really easy. I mean, yeah, catstaffs, but the average player was mostly unable to create anything better than weapons and armor.
It should be easier now. You're gonna actually have to use your hands and shit, you can't fart out a complete house using nothing but words, but the tools and such are there now.

Staff Wheel Wood Adamantine
Staff Wheel Wood Adamantine
Many Adamantine Nails
Heavy Adamantine Hammer
Wood Leather Belt Cage
Adamantine Saw
Adamantine Chain
Animate Flesh Horse

Use the Saw to remove the top of the cage, and the hammer and nails to put the pieces of that to make the sides. Put the axles from the first two spells into the leather straps that are part of the cage, use nails to secure the axles but make sure they still have room to rotate. Attach the chain, and hook that around the horse.

One horse drawn, durable wagon, ready for use!

I dunno if the Staff wheel thing would get you what you're looking for in terms of axles with wheels on them.

That Adamantine hammer probably doesn't need to be heavy (Unless you want it to be 100 lbs)

And the horse doesn't need to be "Animate" because the flesh is already alive.

Other then that, yeah, that works.

If you summoned a nailgun and created nails as well as inscribing them with fragile glass, would you be able to nail people with it and transform them into glass?

Would Halberd Wheel, plus an extra wheel, work better? Eh. The concept is close enough.

Dude. FATAL. Any came that makes you roll for anal circumference, gives women penalties to just about everything except the Urination skill, has a Urination skill, etc etc etc, is to be avoided, as is being compared it it.



1. Solid Fire Stone (Whichever)-Hand
2. Steel Chisel
3. Carve "Fire Blade" into hand
4. Recover.
5. Raygun-Gothic Steel Sheet Cone Cylinder
6. Make a hole for a door, if it doesn't exist
7. Stone Cube times some number, assemble cubes in front of door as stairs
8. Raygun-Gothic Steel Table, Raygun-Gothic Steel Chair, repeat as needed, weld into place
9. Small Raygun Gothic Steel Wall as needed to subdivide it into rooms like a dining area, kitchen, stuff like that, weld into place
10. Flesh Hand (which would remove the engraving, right?)
11. Raygun Gothic Steel stuff to make an oven, pots, and such.
12. Open a space restaurant!
13. Learn how to cook.

If I ever run one of these, I'm including a word similar to Zentol that's basically the universe as designed by Shaft.

Because we need more fucked up things like the world whenever there's a witch around (Puella Magi Madoka Magica) or from the opening scenes of Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei!

Some of the more complex substances might do for your needs. As soon as I get done with the Modifiers, I'm getting back into describing them.

Something along the lines of sentient paper, but personally I'd love to trap my enemies in a satanic world based around myself just to toy around with them before I kill them. Have weak minions that pose nearly no threat just to add to the eeriness. Leave the door open to a parallel universe of my own creation practically daring anyone who wants my soul to come take it, if they think they're up for the challenge. But of course, my world, my rules. I'd be trying to use my own will to suppress any chance they had of slinging their best magic at me.

Maybe I'd have to cause a lot of trouble before I had this kind of power. Creating a universe, even one rather tiny, would take a lot of effort for a single mage... The words to do such a thing would surely require the potency of at least ten mages just to speak. So, I'd need ten mages... or at least their souls. I'd also need the willpower to control my realm once I'm in it, right? Maybe I'd even burn souls just to get the chance of building the world I wanted. Point is, once I'm in it, it's going to take a lot to get me out. Over my dead body, if you will. Anyone trapped in such a realm is completely at my mercy. Without a word, I could assume the horrible form given to me by the horrible world I inhabit.

Maybe an idea for a co-op boss system, at least. I'd like to see words that no normal out-of-the-box player could hope to cast, but would give them quite a powerful boost.

It's just sleeping.

I think the invisitext low-number of stats test went fairly well. Granted, it was Pure Physical vs Pure Magic, and ended with the magic user being torn apart by his own creations, but it went pretty well. So... In orange, this time.
Wanting 4 players.
The stats are Speed, Combat, Pool, and Potential. Combat and Potential are used to avoid or resist themselves, and stats add half their bonus to your rolls. 10 points to divide between them, no Fictitious, Hazardous, or Rare materials; any other words are fair game.
