Is she able to use telekinesis on projectile spells if their caster lets her? Basically using her as a guidance system to help ensure that a glass cannon's MP-emptying shot actually hits.

I am not sure magic is grab-able. as a rule of thumb, it has to be something that can be grabbed. no air, water only at large difficulties etc

Ah okay, so it's more solid-focused...

Come to think of it, Smurf, is making a projectile spell so damn slow that it either A: doesn't move, or B: moves at about the speed of continental drift, count as an acceptable drawback in return for making it persist until someone collides with it (or at least a few turns)? If so, that could effectively get Winterwald and any PCs adept at grappling as many chances as they want to throw/slam/shove/wrestle/kick/defenestrate an enemy into a high-powered spell.

"If you aren't willing to get hit by the horrible murdersphere, then the horrible murdersphere is going to hit. By your body." :P

Hmm... if you make the spell pierce enemies, then it could be even more useful... you'd just have PCs continuously punt enemies back into it

The idea of a fireball moving really slowly across the battlefield amuses me, and I guess it counts as a drawback.

I suppose Winterwald does work well together with communicative team members. she can't redirect her allies spells, but she can sure as hell hold an enemy in place, or maybe bunch them up together to get them all in an AoE etc

Fortunately, she can throw people INTO her allies' spells if they dodge :D Plus if she misses, the poor bastard would still be sailing through the air at high speeds.

But yeah, that certainly does help with AOEs or Chaining spells.

If anyone wants to throw Kyle at her go ahead. I can't run the battle though as I'm on the phone.

Well, PN said he'd GM things, so I guess all he needs is actions. Though assessement of balance is difficult, with the yet not quite as balanced magic rules.

"So it comes to this. Too bad. In an alternate world, we could have been friends."

Walpurga stretches her palm out towards Kyle like she was doing Tai Chi, to grab him and slam him right into the gigantic candy statue of Alucardette (don't ask me, alternate realities take the strangest of turns sometimes) behind him (-4 mana, medium magic attack for both damage, and gaining distance)

Battlefield may or may not be Ashfake city, but made of colorful candy, also water is beer

Kyle suits up his visor glowing a bright red.
"Affirmative. Mission objective recieved:  Capture subject for processing."
Kyle summons an air shield (medium act size.).
