The Roots of Magic - Enchanter [SG]: He's (not) dead, Jim!
« on: October 15, 2013, 08:27:49 pm »

You are a magi in the Grand Order of Magical Pursuits, long devoted to learning the grand secrets of casting. Unfortunately, each man in life must learn their own way to cast, and their knowledge cannot be so much taught as directed. Each caster begins at the lowest rank in the Order, namely that of an Enchanter. After this, they become a Sorcerer, then Diviner, Wizard, Arcanist, Spellweaver, Mage, High Mage, Mage Lord, and finally, Archmage. To become of a higher rank, one must either perform an action which aids the pursuit of magical knowledge, or convince a higher-ranked magician to allow them to ascend.
You have, after much study and practice, been allowed into the Order by the leader of it, Archmage Sren. You have been told by some Sorcerers who have given you the time to talk with them that the best method which balances risk and reward is aiding the nearby residents. Some insist that the best method is merely to charm your way through the ranks.

You were planning to have a 15 year old magical girl kill Witches by drinking them under the table!? It's original, at least.

You are Selena Inverse, female Enchanter with an affinity for divination. You're medium height and fairly scrawny. Your hair is naturally blue due to the arcane power in your blood. Your eyes, however, are a brilliant red. You have recently arrived at the stronghold of the Order, named Keep of the Golden Light, as the first known spell caused an object to glow. You have been given some amount of training in casting arcane power, and have been told to find your way through the ranks. Given to you by the Order is a staff with a small emerald adorning it, which apparently is a symbol of the Order, and a rather cramped dormitory.

Retrieve your experimental magic equipment so you can start making new spells and enchantments.

Also, is the scyring bead required for Scry consumed or not?

((My bad, it does.))
You begin retrieving some equipment for magical experimentation. The tools you have are rather simplistic, but they aren't altogether expensive. After playing around with it for a little while, you think you may be onto something. You'll have to spend about 5 Mana, give or take some, to try the spell, though, and it's not a guaranteed success.

Cast Anti-deus ex machina!
Throw in the five mana, then engage the Spell Making Not-a-vending-machine Mode!

Why do we now only have one spell?

You begin to chant Anti-Deus ex Machina. However, the game mechanic makes the saving throw.
Failing the meta-exorcism, you decide to put the effort into making the spell, and also to try and influence the result. Your attempts don't work out to quite what you intended, though it isn't terribly far off. What comes to you is Communion, which can be cast to ask a question to a being in one of the outer planes, where elementals, demons, and angels reside. Naturally, they don't always know the answer, and some will attempt to lie to you.
A few minutes later, you hear a knock on the door to your room.
