"Let's see if you're perfect enough to withstand this!"
Fire the ornate arrow at the dragon's head. Use my two Dexterity essences to improve my DEX roll by 2 points. I'll use my magic to increase the up/down/left/right/forward acceleration of the arrow to increase its accuracy and speed. In order to improve this spell, I'm putting both my Acceleration essences into it, breaking 2 shards to increase its POT by 2, and breaking 10 shards to increase its CMP by 5.
Loot the corpse after it inevitably dies.

[1]With a single movement, Azenfar drew back the bowstring as far as he could before immediately releasing after arrow formed from stored magic. Spell that took upon physical form flew gracefully through the air, guided by both Azenfars' talent as archer and his talent as a mage. Arrow flew with great speed, spending mere moment in air before lodging itself deep in the right eye of the dragon. With a great shriek dragon began trashing around in the air in pain. It more fell than landed before Azenfar, droplets of dark blue blood falling freely from its head, freezing land where they fell and painting plants white with frost. One remaining eye was looking intensely at Azenfar, hate burning within, with clear knowledge of who was responsible for its current pain. It opened its great maw and roared at Azenfar, who was mere meters away. The roar was a promise of great suffering, a thousandfold return for what he had caused. But it was this roar that saved accelerator, for Azenfar dodged away as soon as dragon opened its mouth, not waiting to see if it wanted to threaten or swallow him whole. It was a timely dodge, as just after Azenfar moved out of the way, dragon unleashed his frozen breath again. Accelerator felt that somehow strangely wind turned towards him, no, towards the area which dragon had just blasted. As he turned to sneak a look he noticed that there were droplets of clear liquid on otherwise entirely frozen plants. That, was most certainly not water.
((What just happened? Excuse me while I bore my eyes into the turn.))
Edit: "Well... this is a predicament... I suppose you are going to try to kill me now... well I suppose I don't have much choice now... I would like to inform you that I have placed a hidden curse onto the strongest of you and if you do not let me escape I will trigger it and render your mind useless."
If they don't let me leave, detonate the curse. If they let me leave, make 3 Evil Eye essences while heading south-east rapidly.
"He's Bluffing. Even if he isn't I will heal whatever the curse does.
Grundar, please kill No."
Order Grundar to kill No.
Cast a spell to give No cancer. Don't stop at the lungs, block his major arteries with cancerous tissue killing him near-instantly. Use 2 +1/+2 essences.
Then shift my weapon to crossbow mode and shoot him.
"Funny thing about soul swapping. The souls aren't as anchored to the new bodies, and it's rather easy to pull them back out. As for that curse, I only have one thing to say. SILENCE, THEY KILL YOU!"
Make with the silencing of No.

END [1-2=-1]It was five mages against one, not counting possibility of allies. It was a situation where even stalling for time in hopes of dragon wandering over was futile. There was one thing that could had saved No, or at least taken his enemies with him. Making use of his current position No quickly found and grabbed all soul shards Crimson had on himself. If he had wanted to use them, he would had needed to deal with man of steel trashing under him for a while, but his was a plan that took hardly any time at all. He crushed the shards, allowing magic and thought within mix with landscape of aether, in hopes of something powerful emerging. No such thing happened, though, and Crimson snatched the opportunity to fling astonished mage away from him with his spear.
Jase and Marcus clearly did not want to extend nor renew the episode of body swap, as both cast a spell of their own to prevent No from acting. James whipped up his battlefield tested silence spell to prevent curse eyed mage from using magic again, or maybe possibly to simply shut him up, as his lies were getting him both bored and paranoid. Marcus however, opted to use something unseen, as No suddenly stood up straight as an obelisk with a blank look in his eyes, before bending his body in a stance vaguely resembling form of a chicken.
What his further actions would had been remains unknown, as James used his magic, and as it was now becoming annoyingly common for him, with intent to kill. Nos' skin warped and tore spilling blood all over and where skin did not break red spots revealing internal bleeding appeared. But his suffering was cut short, as Grundar by command of his master used his great strength to tear offending mage in half. As if to mark the death of one that cursed them, Jase, Marcus and Kahel once more experienced sudden shift in their sight as trio of mages returned to their bodies.

POT [2+1+3+1=7]Realizing the numerous flaws of a common weapon, Flare decided to create something befitting himself. With a complex command, space parted and spat out a cube of steel. Of course, Flare knew better than to expect perfection, memories of sword making still haunting his memory. He commanded the cube to change into a pyramid. Then into a sphere. Steel followed commands flawlessly, changing its shape with a loud bending noise each time. But when Flare attempted to form an inconspicuous looking weapon, flaws began to emerge. What should have been a sword was a cylinder. What should have been a bow, a circle. Mace resulted in another pyramid while spear was another cylinder, although slightly thinner than the "sword” cylinder. It was not a good day.
The Gambler picks up and moves further NE, forging a few (2) more essences as he walked. He looks around for anything of interest, keeping a keen eye.

LUCK [3]Creating another essence gambler felt remnants of shattered mirror curse leaving him. The ritual to mitigate the effect required him to stay perfectly still, so Gambler decided to celebrate end of the curse with a walk. It felt good to move legs again after a while. His keen eyes darted over the plains, searching for anything out of order, but everything was calm. No it was not, Gambler thought, looking at a small green hairless humanoid peering at him out of a hole, holding a knife in his muscular left hand while holding up a camouflaged hatch with his right. Goblin stared back at the gambler with his beady eyes, seemingly unsure of what to do now that he was discovered.
