[Avis-Mergulus]

Ven flips the stag off with one hand while casting Knitback (Life/Water/Order) with the other, simultaneously retreating further from the stag.

-Fuck you mister, and fuck your sister...

Spoiler: Herald of Ruin (click to show/hide)

(Chaos/Chaos/Air). A bolt of pure disorder, hurtling through the air toward a set target. As it flies, it leaves a trail of potentially toxic and/or explosive nitro-, amine-, and carbonyl compounds behind it due to its randomization effect. When it reaches the target, it inflicts both physical and biochemical damage on it by warping its flesh, burning or freezing it, and randomizing its chemical structure.

Spoiler: Things Ven Flynn Knows (click to show/hide)

Blizzard Armor (Water/Air/Chaos) - Summons a large amount of ice plates and shards and sets them swirling around the caster at terrifying velocities. The shards protect the caster's body from harm and wound anybody in the radius of a 4/duration meters from the caster. Having a radius shorter 1 meter diminishes the protective and retaliatory power of the spell. This spell can be negated by a powerful fire attack, but is highly effective against enemies with elemental fire.

Knitback (Life/Water/Order) - Closes wounds, reduces infections and dulls any pain.  It takes effect over two turns, and completely stops all but the most potent of bleeding wounds. Rapid movement (as you would get from combat or running) cancels the healing portion, but the pain remains dulled.

Languid Stupor (Water/Water/Death) - Slows both the physical and mental speed of nearby targeted creatures greatly. When most powerfully effective it also lowers the targets' metabolism hugely.

A Door to the Plane of Infinite Knives (Earth/Chaos/Death) - A projection portal opens between the caster's hands, spewing a summoned shower of razor-sharp metal fragments in a cone.

Timewarp Cloak (Order/Order/Air) - Creates a shell of slowed time around the caster. Objects passing through temporarily have their time factor massively changed, but upon emerging fthe shell they retain their initial velocity. The shell massively slows objects traversing it from the outside while significantly increasing their speed while traversed from the inside.
The outside radius can be increased at the expense of decreasing the power of the warp effect.
Only objects completely immersed in the cloak are affected.

Icemark- Water/Order/Earth - The spell allows the caster to rapidly cool any solid object, causing most matter to shatter under the strain. It can be also used to "mark" any solid object for later activation. The mark can be applied either as a projectile or through physical contact.

[Harbingerjm]

Ren waits for the stag to move, then tries to cast Stasis Shard (Order/Order/Earth) in front of it. Momentum, fuck yes!

[Tack]

Mastahcheese is having 'life' happen to him at the moment, so I'm unsure on whether he'll be around for a little while.

[Remuthra]

You could throw him on the Delinquint Players Thread if you want.

[lemon10]

You could throw him on the Delinquint Players Thread if you want.

Its only been a day. I'll give him a while more (eg. one or two days) to send in a turn before I do that.

Order! Order! Earth! Curse of Petrification, you goddamn Duocorn m@$%#*&!

Spoiler: Water:Water:Chaos: Explosive Fluids (click to show/hide)

This spell targets any fluids within the target, causing them to become gaseous rather suddenly. This tends to kill organics.

Just to clarify a grammatical point in the spell that is ambiguous:

When used on stone creatures and constructs

Means: When used on stone creatures and stone constructs...
Not: When used on stone creatures and any type of construct...

The Duourn is not organic or made of stone.

[Xantalos]

...
Action changing.

[lemon10]

Threw masta up on the Delinquent Players Help thread. He might be back soon, but except for him I've gotten the whole turn done. I do feel kind of bad not giving him more time on this, but he has been afk for two days, and might be for a few days longer.

[Tack]

Eh, it's only for one turn. "Delinquent players" gives the wrong impression.

[mastahcheese]

Sorry, I'm back now.

Cast Diverge Minds, take cover.

Turn 13: THE PUNCHES DO NOTHING

Not being a MAN to waste time Joe takes no time to recover his hammer, instead he runs up and PUNCHES POWERFULY at The Stag. His PUNCHES tear through the rather fragile wings with ease, but after breaking through he has no momentum to actually harm its body. Ceasing his attacks for a moment he casts Phaseshot and two nearly invisible orbs streak out of his right hand. One hits the wings and disintegrates, but the second slides through the tiny hole remaining from his PLETHORA OF PUNCHES. It lasts a bit longer, but also disintegrates when it hits the liquid body of The Stag. Huh. The whole body is magic resistant. It appears that going straight for the orb with that spell isn’t going to work.

Ven uses Joe’s attack to cast Knitback, and the blinding pain lowers to manageable levels. He stands up, and the pain in his chest grows greater again, he manages to get far away from The Stag without incidence, but given how fast it can move, even that distance might not be much protection.
((Ven gains Knitback till end of turn 15))
 
Ren attempts to cast Stasis Shard, but finds that it is still on cooldown till turn 15. Drats. He does try to use his existing Shard to get The Stag when it jumps, but finds the creature much too unpredictable to be caught with his fairly slow moving Shard.

The Stag glares at Joe, and huge clumps of ice begin to form around his knuckles where his fists hit the wings. Joe tries to break the ice off, but in moments his hands are frozen solid in the middle of comical ice blocks. He is about to bend down to smash his hands free when The Stag charges at him. Joe raises his hands to block The Stag’s antlers, but is slowed by the unexpected weight of the ice around his hands. Joe is almost impaled by the points of The Stag’s antlers, but his skin is too tough for it to be that simple. He gets away with only a single large gaping gash across his chest. The gash is frozen shut, but given how big it is, it had better get taken care of quickly.
((Joe  gains Frozen Very Heavy Bleeding))
((Joe gains Comically Frozen Hands))
((Ouch, you got the worst roll for damage. If you didn’t have tough skin you would be in a very bad position right now))


Russ casts Snap Barrage again, but this time he only gets two bolts. One of them flies far off course, and the other one disappears into the darkness surrounding The Duocorn … then comes right back out the other side without any apparent effect.
Provide Light
The golem looks at his master confused and simply does nothing.

Seeing that his strategy worked in allowing him to avoid damage last turn, Bertram uses it again, and curdles up into a ball whilst thinking thoughts of brutal revenge against  Russ for his earlier actions.

Cromwell casts Diverge Minds and attempts to find some cover. The best he can manage is running to hide behind the archway to the stairs, but if The Duocorn decides to attack, the archway won’t be much help at all.
((Cromwell gains Divergent Mind until the end of turn 14))

The Duocorn charges, and impales the golems right arm with one of its horns. The golem responds by punching The Duocorn with a brutal left hand jab. The Duocorn takes the hit well (although its umbra flickers) and disengages. While it initially appears that the golem took the attack without much damage, after a moment the golems right arm begins to burn. The golem tries to put it out, but his rolling (followed by running around in panic) is singularly unhelpful in that regard, and soon it is completely wreathed in flames.

Spoiler: Ven; Herald of Ruin- Chaos/Chaos/Air (click to show/hide)

This spell conjures a bolt of pure disorder, hurtling through the air toward a set target. As it flies, it leaves behind a trail of potentially toxic and/or explosive chemicals due to its randomization effect.
When the bolt hits the target it inflicts a single effect out of a multitude of possibilities, ranging from lethal to theoretically helpful.

Spoiler: Bertram; Explosive Fluids- Water/Water/Chaos (click to show/hide)

This spell targets any fluids within the target, causing them to become gaseous rather suddenly. This tends to kill organics rather messily.

Spoiler: Russ; Snap Barrier-Order/Order/Air (click to show/hide)

Immediately creates a static force shield surrounding the caster. Spell is cast with a left-handed click.
Due to the weakness of the spell, it only lasts two turns before disintegrating.
The spell does not stack, and creating multiple overlapping shields will result in them destroying each other.

((Important spells like shielding probably shouldn’t be weak))

I’m sorry for all these spells failures everyone is getting against these dudes. But that’s the way it is when the spells you use aren’t effective against their creature type.

[Remuthra]

Use the ice blocks as clubs to bash the stag.

[Xantalos]

Try my new spell (Water:Water:Chaos) Explosive Fluids out on the duocorn!

((The duocorn is made of fire. The stag (other peoples) is the water one.))

((You need to put some elements in, or you're gonna fumble. Also Lemon, could I shorten snap barrier to 1 turn in order to strengthen it up a bit?))

Russ eyes off the flaming golem, but realizes there's not much he can do about it. He casts dissociating touch.

Approved
Summon Order Elemental
Order|Order|Order
Focuses elemental energy into a small humanoid creature, which can answer questions, detect lies and aid in scrying, as long as it isn't required to move.
The channeling to amass and shape enough order requires an entire turn be spent casting the spell.

Approved
Magnetic Sling
Earth|Earth|Order
Applies a massive directional magnetic charge (either towards or directly away from you) to ferromagnetic items in a small area. The strength of the effect is directly proportional to the time the force applies over. A ten second pull is a gentle tug, while a thousandth of a second pull is exceedingly deadly.

Approved
Flame lance- Soulflame
Fire|Life|Order
Burns away lifeforce in order to create a thin ray of swirling fire which can pierce enemies. Flames have a silver sheen and do vastly increased damage to undead, and almost no damage to enemies having elemental life as part of their makeup.

Approved
Artesian Bore
Water|Water|Earth
Drills a small hole down from the point of the spell up to 50 meters deep, and redirects the pressure gradient of any water encountered upwards. This results in a small (but quite potent due to the high pressure) stream of liquid spurting upwards. It typically takes a single turn for any effects to be noticeable, and lasts for three turns.
This spell typically has no effect if there is no aquifer (or other source of liquid) within 50 meters beneath the caster.

Approved
Bloom
Earth|Earth|Water
Causes a rampant increase in the fertility and growth of an area specified by the caster. Plants, seeds and grass will grow at a ridiculously increased rate over the next turn.
The smaller the area, the more potent the growth. This has a minimal impact on magical plants, due to their non-standard biology and nutrition requirements.

Approved
Tremor
Earth|Earth|Earth
Sends roiling seismic waves underground which build and grow, resulting in a powerful quake which can devastate buildings, damage enemies and can create inhospitable terrain. Due to the compound nature of this spell, small or specific castings are actually less effective.
This spell is channeled, requiring at least two turns to gain full power.

Approved
Snap Barrage
Chaos|Chaos|Air
Immediately attacks with a salvo of force projectiles. Spell is cast with a simple right-handed finger snap.

Approved
Dissociating touch
Chaos|Chaos|Death
Shreds the powering force of a construct or creature with elemental life, dealing damage and increasing the power of the next spell (of that type) cast in the area. Is cast over a turn and then can be released via a touch on the next.
Has no effect on creatures powered by chaos.

Changed
Snap Barrier
Order|Order|Air
Immediately creates a static, slightly curved force shield approximately a meter in radius.
Will defend better based on how close to the caster it is created, however due to the weakness of the spell, it will only last one turn before disintegrating.
The spell does not stack, and creating multiple overlapping shields will result in them destroying each other.

Approved
Purge
Order|Order|Life
Dispels any negative magical poisons, infections, effects or influences on the target.
The spell requires touch to take proper effect. If cast at range it has a 66% chance of removing a single negative status effect of your choice.

Pending
Shape Earth
Earth|Earth|Life
Allows the caster to shift, move and sculpt the ground around him.

Spoiler: Golem Almanac (click to show/hide)

- Self: A golem's sense of being. All golems are created as mindless automatons, however those with a high 'Self' will eventually develop those pesky Self-Preservation instincts.
Addendum: Self also increases the chances of a golem developing sentience and going rogue.
Thankfully the more risky golems are -by their nature- unlikely to instantly attempt to kill their creator, but it's doubtful that they'd continue following their whims.

- Intelligence: A golem's ability to understand given commands. The most simple golems can only handle one or two monosylabular words. "Kill that", thankfully, usually does the trick.

- Special Ability: A golem's link to that beyond the mundane. If it goes boom, fizz, pop, wshh, or any other onomatopoeia, this is why.

- Longevity: Stone isn't actually meant to move and think, crazily enough. Sooner or later they all fall apart or become inert, and later is better

- Defense: Some golems are made tougher than others. This affects how hard it is to kill, if time isn't on your side

- Attack: General ability to hurt things. Whether it's because of natural martial prowess or the fact that their hands are on fire, this affects it

- Golems can be made from their component parts or thrown together by just throwing together raw magic- although the latter ones will be far less potent.

- Longterm combat golems have a global cap of 1, other golems have a cap of one per type

- The starting command given to a golem is their Prime Directive. One must always be given when creating golems. They will follow other instructions given by the caster (or those it has been commanded to follow instructions from), but their Prime Directive will always take precedence.

Approved
Unstable Golem
Life|Chaos|Earth
Made from mud. Explodes upon command or death. Lasts one turn before becoming inert.
Pending

Approved
Strong Golem
Earth|Earth|Life
Made from Metal. Must be drawn from the ground, built from surface deposits or cobbled together from forged metal.
Touching a sizeable piece of metal is enough to start the process as it slowly attracts the rest towards it. The resulting golem is incredibly resilient, and the amount of jagged edges make damaging it difficult.
If some of the metal targeted to become part of the golem does not attach, the golem will not fully form and the spell will collapse.
The spell controlling it lasts 10 turns, but there can only be one golem at a time. The metal used in the golem is fused after 10 turns, killing it and making it impossible to use the metal again for the purposes of golem making unless melted down again.
If it somehow manages to avoid fusing its own body, it will outlive the part of the spell ensuring its loyalty to the caster.

Approved
Wood Golem
Life|Water|Earth
Made from Wood. Understands multiple languages if the caster understands them. Can follow complicated commands and solve basic puzzles, and can make noises (tree noises) to indicate 'yes' or 'no'. Livewood golems can command fellow (friendly) golems. If the golems are summoned from nothing or dead trees, they are deadwood golems, otherwise if they are summoned from living trees they are livewood golems.
Deadwood golems are much faster and lack a sense of pain and fear (while being much stupider).
Livewood golems are much stronger and resistant to damage at the expense of speed, they can also regenerate, but will be incapacitated (and quickly killed) by fire.
Deadwood golems typically only last 4 turns (depending on what they are made of), but livewood golems last until destroyed.

Pending
Magma Golem
Life|Fire|Earth
Made from Magma and assorted stones- must be siphoned from below the ground or conjured into being- although 'fire-earth' areas such as campsites or hearths will do in a pinch.
Constantly burns everything near it, and has an incredibly powerful melee attack. However, can't follow any commands besides 'kill x'. The only golem universally taller than humans.
Golems made from real magma are much more resistant to being doused than those made from fire or raw magic, though all will last a few hours regardless.

Pending
Blighted Golem
Life|Death|Earth
Made from 'deathly elements'. Blighted earth or graveyard soil is best, in a pinch can be made from battlefield soil, or corpses. Able to channel necrotic energies to either raise dead or inflict debilitating curses/diseases on enemies. Very small and very easy to kill, and opposing elements make it short-lived (An Hour or so)

Pending
Glass Golem
Life|Air|Fire
Normally made from superheating a 'Swift (sand) golem' this spell summons the golem outright or blasts it out of nearby sand, however due to shortcutting the process it is more brittle and less powerful.
A non-humanoid golem, it resembles a small pterodactyl made of smooth glass, and is able to fly and attack with its talons.
Can carry messages by mimicking the resonant frequencies of the speaker's voice.
Can survive for more than a week before becoming inert, however is extremely dangerous (and loud) if it develops sentience.

Pending
Faithful Golem
Life|Order|Earth
Made from Stone. Lasts a seriously long time, but tends to fare badly in combat.
Highest sense of self, will start to avoid combat after a year and in later life will almost certainly become sentient (This usually results in it wandering off and becoming a farmer somewhere).
