"Very good, Alerim. Now, I believe you have a wound to treat. Judging by what happened to your hand, I believe submerging it in water would have good effects."
Make three bees essences. Send Alerim to soak his damaged hand for a little bit in a lake. Tell him to bring me back any loot he finds. My magic bees do nothing but buzz happily.

Jonas looked around, attempting to seem uninterested in other mages that were here. They were also looking around, attempting to seem uninterested in him. Of course, killing someone in an unfair fight is something that anyone coming here would expect, though the unknown reason made all the difference. Whether Jonas came here for a personal vendetta or to just simply kill anyone who happened to be here would be decided by his next action. The response would be determined by the same. Just a bit later, beemancer was actually distracted, by a faint hissing sound and Alerim crying out in pain. As elf pulled his arm out of water Jonas could see that wounds were entirely gone, leaving only pale red spots where they were. Had the demon not actually injured the elf?
Absorb the Dragon's soul.
Also 3 make more summoning essences if I have the time.
The power drain ritual, known by most mages it allowed moving magic power from one object to another. It did not necessarily had to be the caster, which made some people think that the name was somewhat misleading, yet majority of mages did not have the knowledge to change target from themselves to something else making the name as truthful as it had to be. It was magic mostly used by lesser mages who could not create essences without some physical medium to store them. James had little use for the ritual, his early career aside, but it was exactly the thing he would need now. Corpse of dragon practically radiated power, but was too huge to efficiently use it for alchemical ingredients. James placed his hands on dragons head, but almost immediately retracted them. It was a reflexive reaction to extreme cold the corpse radiated and James cursed a bit for not expecting it. He then moved his hands close to the head, yet not exactly touching the scales, and drained the power within. It took a little while, but when it was over James was not feeling the cold anymore and the dragon that was in front of him was now reduced to skeleton that seemed hundreds of years old.
{Dragon soul x1 obtained! It can be exchanged for 7 shards/ Ice affinity/kept as an object for further use}
Murder. Loot the corpse and use the shards as dictated in my previous actions. Make two essences. Then walk back towards the dragon. I have a (non-violent) debt to collect.
"I have no quarrel with you, time mage. Go along and do whatever you were doing before you met this person."
"Ok, I get it, I'll stay back."
PM action (will arrive later) sent.

Marcus was suspicious of the time mage, he seemed rather friendly towards the spatial mage, there was no way he would just walk away, right? Right. As soon as Doctor began casting Marcus chanted out his own spell. Both mages finished their magic simultaneously. Doctors’ eyes became blank for a moment and he added an extra line to his spell. But before Doctor had finished his extra line, Marcus felt that something went missing, something important. He looked around, searching for what could be missing when he noticed that few bit of flesh appeared where his head used to be just moments ago. At the same time, he could feel something warm trickle down his neck. Then the pain hit, it seemed that entire left side of his head was in on fire.
As Marcus touched an area where he felt the pain he felt something extremely strange. It was hard as stone and some parts held an edge lust like shards of stone. Then he looked upon Doctor who was lying face down on the ground, seemingly fainted, and understood. The spell was not fast enough for him to avoid damage, but it was good enough to make them both suffer. And it seemed that Doctor suffered far worse than he did. Most of the skin that was on Doctors head was now missing, as if he had been scalped by someone incredibly dedicated to getting the job done properly. White bone shone where flesh and hair should have been. In fact, most of the skull had been revealed, leaving only the face intact. So that was the hard surface he felt. Bone.

Romanticarnus was somewhat distracted by the whole dragon fighting that was going on, but snapped back into reality when he noticed that the demonologist not too far from him lost his head. Literally. The killers seemed not too eager to continue the killing spree, but you could never know, maybe this Jonas fellow was just good at bluffing.
"Let's try something else then."
Form electricity between two fingers, and use the heat to weaken the gold.
Eterna came up with an idea. Lightning was hot enough to turn dirt into glass, surely if he crafted a small thunderstorm in his hand he'd be able to tear through gold? The idea was good enough, yet where Eterna missed was the execution. Discharges of lighting arched from his arms to all surrounding surfaces, tough they favored the throne and the charred corpse. When the spell finally ended, the only result was that the charred corpse was slightly more charred.
Well,that could have gone worse,at least they work.
travel to the edge of the forest and climb a tree to look for anything interesting,using my wings to help with the first two things.
If I can,make two bird essences.

Seva climbed nearest tall looking tree, using his newly gained wings to make a few jumps and reached the top in almost no time. The view from above the roof of branches was majestic. To the east, where trees ended, a clear lake shone with reflections of light. to both north and south there were mainly more trees but westwards path revealed something interesting. Several trees rose significantly above the otherwise more or less even roof of the forest. It was hard to say for certain but the trees in the center of the forest could have been as much as twenty meters taller than their neighbors. Seva then looked closer around him and discovered that tree had some strange and delicious fruits, similar in appearance to cherries, basking in the sun, there were even a few birds sampling some of the ripe fruits.

The construction came easy for Flare. He knew exactly what he wanted and how he wanted and it did not take long before a perfectly shaped steel statue of a miniature dragon stood before him. Now it was only a matter of activating the golem.

Gambler listened in to the sounds of the forest. The singing of birds, the sound of branches clashing against each other in the wind. Nothing seemed out of place. It was this exact search from intruders within the forest sounds that led Gamble to not noticing danger until it was too late. A weight on his left leg announced the appearance of a unexpected guest and when mage looked at it he discovered that a snake had landed on his leg. It seemed very similar to one of non-venomous species he had seen some of his opponents at the tables of chips keep as pets but it was slightly different. The snake continued crawling up his leg seemingly interested in heat his body was radiating.

Dwen touched the water at the very shore of the huge lake and magic spread through the water from the touch. The water turned to pure alcohol and when it seemed that the magic would completely change the lake, the spell broke and normal water began mixing with the newly created alcohol. Near the shore where Dwen was the water still was more like vodka than actual water, yet it would not last.

Sarrak had also been distracted by the battle between the jet and dragon, yet he too snapped back when he heard the unmistakable sound of decapitation. Nearby demonologist, now corpse fell to the ground at the hands of bee mage and his pet elf. They seemed not to be too intent on continuing the killings, yet one could never know.
I'll try something simple.

{There is no max on essence creation, but you do get -1/-1 to each consecutive spell on same turn. Defaulting to two.}
Ancano, a mage of noble elven descend, wielding the unmatched powers of heat, entered the arena. Upon entering he looked around and sneered He was surrounded by humans. The inferior race. the barbaric monkey kind. This would not stand. Surely, he'd murder them all for daring to be in the same dimension as his noble self, but not right now. Right now Ancano left this community of plebeians and went for the northwest plains. Elf of his power required
space to think clearly and these ...primitives were all around him, too stupid to move away. Hmpf. He would show them their place but Ancano had no desire to remain in their company one moment longer!
So here we are. 100 turns. A bit more than a year. At the start, part of me thought that I would never reach this. Another part was certain that I would reach it for sole reason of talking about how I thought that I would never reach it. In short, it is all bullshit. Grab a beer to celebrate with me if you want, for a hundred ticks more, otherwise it is five in the morning and I am going to sleep.
