((Just wondering... what would Bernardo have against a mad scientist and his paleontologist friend?

..He'll probably try to kick our butts the moment we summon a robot dinosaur. Or summon mechanical parts. Or magically repair something. Or build a laser cannon. Oh god. I already have one.

OH NO I FORGOT TO PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL))

Spoiler: Sample Powers: The Law (click to show/hide)

I'm gonna give you conditional curses/enchantments (A condition for activation and dispelling both manadatory). I'll also give you "enforce physical law", to prevent bending laws of physics for spellcasting. This, plus summoning law spirit (various ranks) should give you all spells you thought up, if used correctly, without making it too ambigious what you can and can't do.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

You could also summon Lawful-Aligned beings, like Formians.

((Well. This is most CERTAINLY interesting.))

((I'm just going to leave this here for now))

Name: Chorkinaan
Affinity: Physicality (there may not be a word in the english language; this was the best I could come up with)
Description: A short man always wearing a fancy hoodless black-patterned cloak. He has very long hair, and his right hand has an enormous scar which looks as though half of the skin is gone from it.
STR=3
DEX=3
SPD=0
END=1
POT=1

((The idea here is that he can create magical projections in solid form. The easiest way to do this is to create a simple shape (Cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.) which is brittle, as heavy as average wood, moves normally, and fades in about an hour. Creating a complex shape such as that of furniture incurs a -1, as would a shape which moves abnormally. (floating, nonmoving, falls sideways or upwards...) This also applies to shapes which are too big; for every 1-meter cube it fills, barring the first, that's another -1.))

((I'm just doing this because I'm interested, I'd like to be involved somehow, but I'm not sure when that's going to be a thing I can do, so I'm just making my presence known for now. If anyone gave me advice, that would be fantastic.))

(((Un?)fortunately, it is a word in English. It can mean 2 things:
1. Intense physical orientation (Lower other stats, higher strength)
2. Physical aspect(Which, means, a aspect in a aspect. Confusing, eh?)
In other words, you can not only create various physical shapes, but also add another physical aspects (like weight, strength, melting point, etc.) and convert your own magic(or other stats) into physical power(strength).))
((Cycle, Flow, Fabric and Chain Reaction. Have anyone thought about any of that aspect yet?))

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

((Advice number two: make 3 essences of your affinity in each non-combat turn, and hopefully in each of your combat turns as well. Essences are the thing used in combat. The thing. Although the boost to a spell you can get from them is capped at +5/+5, that's still pretty substantial...))

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

((Yeah, but at +5+5 you end up with horrible speed and dex penalties...))

((As for tips- stay in the eldritch tower for a +1+1 magic bonus and some measure of protection. There's also a library and garden.))

I think Corporeality might suit your vision better, but you might prefer your current affinity.
