Well, you at least get paid for that. Also, roboapocalypse is prognosed in something like 20 years, because humans will no longer be nececary to do jobs. There will be several milions CEO's and 7-8 bilion hobos. And CEO's will wonder why nobody buys their shit no matter how much they advertise.

[The Froggy Ninja]

At that point money would be unnecessary as there would be no labor or workers to pay.

[Beirus]

You'd still have to pay energy costs. And security costs, for protection from the hobos who want your stuff.

[The Froggy Ninja]

There would be no hobos. In a world where no one works to make stuff there is no need for money and everything would be free.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Open the wall of the castle with magic. Doors are for non-mages. Close the hole behind me once I'm through, so no one follows. Unless I see someone, then get the castle to crush them.

Turn 20

"I'll heal your hand if you enchant my mace."
Heal David's hand. Then heal my own hand.

Seeing a trade deal where it is, James healed David and then himself. It felt good going back to the original magic, there wasn't a single error in spell or lack in it;s power. Both mages were good as new.

Try to enchant the head of James' mace with Benevolent (to the user) paralysis effects.

Upholding his part of the deal, David atempted to enchant the steel mace. Eeven with rather specific choice of effect, he managed to do a decent job. His right hand with which he held the mace barely felt stiff at all, while his left hand with which he touched th head of the mace hung lifelessly at his side. The paralysis did not last long, he could already feel the arm, it slightly hurt with nerves coming back into action.

"Crimson, get ready. I think I pissed something off, and it's possibly psychic. I'm sorry, didn't mean to wake you. Can't we talk this out?" Jase says, shouting the last part into the cave.

Make another aether essence. The way this is going, I'll need it.

((Looks like I may get to test out another use of my affinity soon.))

"I doubt we can easily talk with whatever you woke up!"

Create a force essence.

The abomination shufled out of the cave into the light as duo of mages were prepearing themselves. With a gurgling sound and a flick of hand oair araund the monstrocity bent away in all directions creating a gust of wind. Undetered, Jase and Crimson continued to charge their strength. Jase crafted a directioning (+1 CMP) force esense, while Crimson forged a power (+1 POT) force esense. Battle was abaut to begin.

A cariage wheel sized hole opened in the wall before Isaac and almost immedietly closed. What usualy would had been a mere annoyance turned into most unfortunate accident, as somone armed with two swords and a hammer walked just around the corner of the castle and was now facing the stonemancer.

-snip-

I strap the weightless hammer to my back and weaponize myself with two swords. Then, I head out back to the lake in search of mages. If chances look good for me - a single one or one with his minion, either ambush them or try to come closer for a deadly charge.

Fortunately for Isaac, Whaz was far too surprised by some random guy in a robe creating and fixing holes in a wall of a castle Whaz fully considered his. When shadow mage finaly decided to charge, Stonemancer had already prepeared himself, standing just right to dodge away from downwards strike that Whaz atempted to execute. With both swords embed into the ground providing a momentarily distraction for shadow mage, Isaac figured it was a time for counteratack. With a command, a large boulder split away from the wall and fell between two combatants. At least it would provide an obstacle for the next charge from Whaz.

"A new land, let us see what is in store."
Charge a Disease essence, then go north

With a snap of his thin fingers, Witness stockpiled a part of his thoughts for future use in a form of directioning (+1 CMP) plague esense. His preparations done, master of plagues walked off north. Passing throug a makeshift forest, completely indiferent towards mages standing there, Witness traveled almost all the way around the shipwreck lake.

Here's Turn 20. And when I started this I wasn't certain that I would reach turn 5. Thanks for advice guys.

[Beirus]

((So that abomination is magical like Irus was, right? Also, where was my POT bonus? Would it not have mattered?))

[DreamerGhost]

((Yes. Fix'd. Yes, it wouldn't have mattered.))

[Sarrak]

"I... Remember your face, mage. This time your soul won't escape it's fate!"

To hell with magic and everything overly complicated. I jump onto the boulder and attack the stonemaster before he can do anything.

EDIT: I congratulate you for reaching this turn and wish for this game to somehow end by 100 shards condition. All in all, it became addictive as hell. Not overly complicated, very interesting and free for experimentation.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Try and make that wand again.

[Cptn Kaladin Anrizlokum]

Grow the boulder into a wall, then push it at him with magic.

As I do that, grab his two swords out of the ground.

You are alone! Only death and darkness!

[Sarrak]

((I'm not sure that swords were stuck. But, anyway, they couldn't be in Isaac's reach as between him and Whaz now lies a large boulder.))

[Beirus]

"Crimson, I'm gonna try aomething. Be ready to kill this thing if it doesn't work."

Time to make a new friend.

[NAV]

"Grundar, do you want a weapon?"

If Grundar wants it then give him the mace.
Summon a jetpack. Summon a helmet. Summon a healing pill.

[DreamerGhost]

Open the wall of the castle with magic. Doors are for non-mages. Close the hole behind me once I'm through, so no one follows. Unless I see someone, then get the castle to crush them.

((Whaz is still holding the swords and they are stuck in dirt i.e. not stuck at all. Also, you are a few meters away from Whaz, at leasr away enoug for a boulder to fit between you.))

((My phone can't handle inserting second quote. NAV, by mage councils laws, what you are doing is comsidered suicidal behaviour))
