((I'm still not 100% on what an essence is. I'm guessing it's basically solid.....concept, I guess? You cast a spell and make an "essence" of that spell which you can use later to buff your competency?))

[DreamerGhost]

((Neutral essenses can be used for any spell.))

((Quite right, essense is a buff in a can.))

Target 1: Romaticus's skull
Target 2: Air above him
Aspect: Solidity
Effect: Switch aspects between targets
Essences used: Aspect essense +1/+1

((It's a bit late to confirm this, but does +1/+1 essences grant bonus to both CMP and POT automatically, or do I have to specify which one should be boosted?))

[DreamerGhost]

((Both. The gig is that you can't use only half of it.))

[Crimson]

Make force field around me disappear. If Jase still fails to fully tame the dragon, try to create the same kind of force field around the dragon using the force from its wing movement (-2 ranged and solid). Use a single +2/+1 chaotic force essence. If Jase succeeds though, then create three force essences instead.

((I HATE YOU IN BOTH GAMES))

USE TELEPATHY TO RIP OUT THE THINGS Ishin STOLE OUT OF MY MIND FROM HIS MIND, AND MAYBE A FEW THINGS FROM HIS MIND TO ME, WHILE ALSO MAYBE EXPOSING HIM TO WHAT I HEAR FROM THE WARP. USE MY ESSENCE. 

[DreamerGhost]

((You either add esense to your spell or not. No midspell fixes. I should probably add penalties to your casts since you have so many spells available. Possibly something from messed up psychic table.))

[AoshimaMichio]

((I HATE YOU IN BOTH GAMES))

USE TELEPATHY TO RIP OUT THE THINGS Ishin STOLE OUT OF MY MIND FROM HIS MIND, AND MAYBE A FEW THINGS FROM HIS MIND TO ME, WHILE ALSO MAYBE EXPOSING HIM TO WHAT I HEAR FROM THE WARP. USE MY ESSENCE, BUT ONLY IF THE ROLL IS LOW ENOUGH IN EITHER POTENCY/COMPETENCY THAT IT WOULD FAIL. 

((You are my target only because you were so conviently close. And in other game it was a overshoot, you can't blame me.))

Ent was not willing to wait for the mage to prepeare a spell of uncertain purpose and results. Crack of bones was unheard by Etszu, as his mind sliped into darkness of unconciousness

Murder-kill endlessblaze with my knife.

Azenfar was overcome with desire to kill the mage standing on the shore. Surely, it was he that had to be responsible for the fire that was consuming the ship! He may had even been responsible for that naga. Not that he needed the reasons, Azenfar was here to win, even if that required sacrifices. Sadly, the two were sperated by an expanse of water, possibly full of dangerous creatures and certainly full of naga. Swiming could be dangerous, but with the ship on fire, he may ot have a choice.

What about Grundar's search for loot?

"Don't worry Etszu, I'll heal you. You have no idea how stubborn trees can be."
Heal Etszu.
Then step between Endlessblaze and the knife-wielding mage.
"Break it up. Stop fighting."

"awwww....but I want to steal his soul....."
CANCEL CURENT ACTION!

NEW ACTION--- wait and let james "try" to talk us down

{Grundar is still searching. You can call him back whenever.}

The request not to wory seemed less like certainty and more like unfirm reassurance. Healing spell fumbled almost entirely, fixing few bruises but nothing else. Unless something more serious was used, treant would finish beating Etszu to death very soon. Trying not to end up with more patients than he could handle, James atempted to talk two mages out of murdering eachother while his power recharged.

"Well, sorry about that. Creating fireworks for contacting you would be too difficult even for my present temperature powers... So, the question is: do you have intelligence for a simpler forms of contact?"

Offer the beast choice of death or life under me. If it can't comprehend or refuses - finish it off.

LUCK [5]

Demonic beasts, and this horse was certainly demonic, rarely had inteligent capacity beyond uncountable ways of killing and maiming, but they all obeyed strenghth. This nightmare belonged to the masses that couldn't comprehend speech, but mabye it could be trained. It probably won't risk atacking.

Continue Operation How To Train Your Dragon. 5 more +1/+1 essences.

If Jase still fails to fully tame the dragon, try to create the same kind of force field around the dragon using the force from its wing movement (-2 ranged and solid).

As two mages cast of their newest spells, wooing a dragon and removing shield, great wyrm slowed down and began to land. As mind control once again returned uncertain results and shield thined to half strength, dragon gracefuly landed next to duo and nochalantly, almost carefuly crushed remaining force shield without making any atempt to harm the mage inside. It then proceded to move it's head right next to Crimson, wait a few moments, and then breathe out a puf of smoke in his face.

"Truly you are sent by Ancient ones to annoy me. Here I go flying, looking for something to eat, and there you are, completely ungarbed in hard to digest metals and even in the air, mening no need to land on this blasted snow. And what do you proceed to do? What is your choice? Put yourslef in a magic can and drop on the groud. Truly despicable, I even lost my apetite."

Ishin was first to move, his spell weaved almost perfectly, but power behind it was missing, reulting in a solid cube of air floating away like a balloon and entirely unhurt sorceror. Romanticanus was not so gentle, tearing out bits and pieces of oposing mages' mind to restore his own.

((What about the essence I used?))

[DreamerGhost]

((Fix'd though it doesn't change anything))

[Andres]

Run on the water using magic, like last time. There weren't any dangerous creatures last time so there won't be any now.

EDIT: How could a fire mage be responsible for a naga being inside a ship? That was obviously just a case of bad luck.

[NAV]

"GRUNDAR, WE HAVE AN EMERGENCY HERE! I NEED YOUR HELP."
Call Grundar over.

"Wake up, you'll be okay. _{I hope.}"
Heal Etszu using 3 +1/+1 healing essences.
When Grundar gets here, have him act like a bouncer and stop the two mages from fighting, while I take his mace of paralysis and use it to paralyze the ent parts of Etszu.

((Well dang. While I wait for the Treant to finally finish me off/be saved, I might make a few more with a few ideas I had rolling around in my head.))

Name: The Gambler
Affinity:Probability/Luck/Happenstance
Description(optional):A man dressed in a finely woven silk suit, with six dots in two rows of three stitched on each sleeve. He holds himself as if he knows that things will fall his way, align into a path for his walking. As if he holds faith that Fortune herself will provide.

Spoiler: The Jail-keep (click to show/hide)

Name: The Jail-keep
Affinity: Restrictions
Description(optional): A woman draped in a robe made of stone- and iron-grey cloth. On the center of her chest is emblazoned with a set of black scales, weighing a knife and a lock, and dark grey cloth chains spiderweb out to her limbs, while a strip of thin-grey fabric covers her eyes. She moves slowly, with an air of quiet judgement, and the way that no movement is wasted might seem somehow off to onlookers. If she were to sit, she would stay near perfectly still, waiting like a statue.

Spoiler: The Titan (click to show/hide)

Name: The Titan
Affinity: Resilience
Description(optional): A great towering brute, capable of shrugging off blows that would easily kill a weaker man. It's not that it's particularly fast or strong, bur rather that it just won't stay down. He wears a think, furry coat from which dangle various items, notably a string of smooth stones and a line of pouches.

Spoiler: The Seer (click to show/hide)

Name: The Seer
Affinity: Sight/Vision
Description(optional): The seer is a blinding figure to see during the day, not due to any special magic or illusion, but due to the fact that it seems to wear mirrors like the scales of a suit of especially long scale-mail. The reflective garment stretches from the middle of the neck down to around ankle height, and does a moderately successful job of hiding physical traits. While not much of its face is visible, covered in a shining mask, one of the exposed eyes revealed is just a flat place of flesh with just a grim mockery tattooed where a real one should be.

((I have way too much fun doing these.))

Etszu attempts to wake up, or at least gain some semblance of awareness of his surroundings.
((Also, if someone were to kill 'me' after I die to the treant, would they get my shards?))

Is the typo in the subject intentional?
