Use all my essence to create a bubble around me out of the alcohol in the air and the water, the bubble should only let in Oxygen, then enter the water and search for a fountain of Magic

Clouds of alcohol converged upon Dwen, splashing themselves against an invisible barrier, covering it in a mist of intoxication. Brewmaster then stepped into the water and observed with satisfaction that liquid failed to penetrate the shield. Few more steps left Dwen entirely submerged, and it seemed that shield also filtered oxygen as he wanted it to. Checking how fast it was weakening Dwen calculated that it should last for at least {6 turn worth of time}. Of course, if there were any extra stress to the shield, say, someone attacked, the strength could dissipate far more quickly. Thus, with caution, brewmaster walked forth over the bottom of the lake, eyeing various bits and pieces of meat still floating around with suspicion. And it turned out that his paranoia was justified, as red mist of blood coalesced into vaguely humanoid shape. A blood elemental. It would seem that magic power within slain beast remained within its blood and manifested in a malevolent spirit.

"The magical poison was a nice touch. There is something(s) you (probably) didn't consider, though."
Pm'd stuff.
"The magical poison was a nice touch. There is something(s) you (probably) didn't consider, though."
"Oh? Poison? I used no poison in my bees! Only essence drain and explosions! Unless- blast those chaotic essences. That's it, you're dead."
Never mind my previous action. Alerim will keep backstabbing the mind control mage, my bees will sting him, and I'll use all my bees essences to make him feel the pain of any dying bees who stung him(let's throw in a shard for potency).
"I think you forget your main targets a bit too soon, beekeeper!"
Kahel observed the battlefield from afar. Magmatic animal acted just as he wanted, so it was a good time to do some damage to the opposing forces.
"Time for a second round..."
Do not anger the bear. If it goes aggro on me - run. As far as I can to the north, to prepare better.
If the bear can't follow elf - help it. Freeze Roast elf's leg to make him trip. Summon, Ranged.
Otherwise - heat-strike Jonas. Ranged.

Alerim and Jonas moved in a coordinated accord against Marcus, magic and blade striking at the same time. Yet for all the effort, a result was not to bee. Alerims strike resulted in a minor cut across Marcus left leg, and Jonas magic, while successful, only momentarily distracted their enemy. It would seem that somewhere along the way Marcus had developed some sort of resistance to pain transferred from elsewhere.
Marcus himself meanwhile, noticed that magma bear was getting increasingly close, something he was somewhat averse to, being allergic to bear fur. Not wanting to deal with it, he ran towards Jonas, something that bee mage confused for a charge and was very surprised to see Marcus run past him. Then he noticed that magma bear was not trying to eat Alerim, who skilfully dodged attempted mauling, only catching occasional magma droplet from the bear with his flesh. Suddenly, the snow around Jonas melted, and air temperature jumped good fifty degrees, from cold winter to midsummer midday in a matter of few seconds. Looking back Jonas could see Kahel swearing in the distance.

After summoning the velociraptor, Sevas' magical powers were drained, so he returned to meditating for now. Gambler, meanwhile, was planning a treasure hunt. There should be something lucky within the woods. Maybe some charm left over from adventurers who got into a situation where luck wasn't enough? Gambler spread out his spell, not too strong as not to wake anything nasty, and he felt a resounding ping from a treetop just slightly above him. Did a bird grab a lucky shiny for its nest?
Take off my tinfoil hat and broken jetpack, into the box they go.
Try to turn my glass cube into some sort of gauntlet or armguard. It would be awesome if it had powered joints to increase my strength, but a non-powered armguard would be okay. This is mostly for aesthetic reasons, I don't want to be carrying around a big weapon or cube all the time.
Summon some scuba gear to hunt for treasure underwater.
Also 2 healing pills.

It was time for some underwater exploration, and James had the advantage of always being one spell away from prepared. From quickly becoming usual portal, he pulled out decent looking scuba set, tanks filled with proper breathable air. At his request, wood within the treehouse began to shift and bulge, forming a table and few chairs around it. All of which were as spiky as most of the floor. Was it still bitter for being around mages or was that supposed to be a developing sense of humor?

Flare was meditating, no longer actively planning what he would do further. For now, he was trying to use his subconsciousness to think, just waiting without any active thought, waiting for an idea to emerge.

Ancano was only momentarily surprised by the surge of arcane power, and quickly began spending it. He created two plates of solid heat, one temperate and other searing hot, and then conjoined them into one. A handle formed on temperate side, completing Ancanos' shield. It was hard to even aproach the hot side, and being struck with it could inflict serious burns, yet the temperate part protected user from unwanted tan. A defence and offence in one.
Break the chain.
Eterna kicked the chain holding throne captive by anchoring in a wall. The chain budges, although only a bit. Damned be the elasticity of metal! Eterna kicked again, then again and then a few more times. Finally, the chain popped out of the wall. Not quite breaking, but good enough.

Jase was meditating near the end of the world, wondering why there was no life here. Was it chased away by energies of the Edge? They were strong enough to be felt even by those unatuned, although they would probably not understand what they are sensing. Would probably feel quite creepy, possibly enough to avoid the place.

Viznor sat down on the flesh fields which did not seem too far beyond his understanding for some reason. What had changed to cause such sudden understanding. A voice whispered from somewhere. Ah, so that’s what the fleshy tongues were.

Not feeling too keen on dealing with the tree, Crimson flew over to where he saw crystalline leaves to shatter stones. They were still there, entirely undamaged by collisions. Sharp edges were now rather obvious, but it should be easy to pull a few out which weren’t too deeply buried in stone.
"Oooh, toys!! Now, what to do with them..."

These rolls are not an apology for missed post. RNG loves you todday.
Jiksap could not stop himself. He did not want to stop himself. Constructing using unknown parts, led entirely by whims was a hobby he could not leave unindulged. Box was soon left with only few gaslamps and cogs within, and before Jiksap stood a curious looking clockwork device shaped like a backpack with absurd number of various lightbulbs antennas and bells. It had straps on it to be carried as a backpack, and it was something of great value. A thaumic disruptor, better known as spellcatcher. Satisfied with results, Jiksap returned to focusing power, yet was met with another unexpected surprise. His focus wavered essence collapsed, opening up a portal above now nearly empty box. Various chrome covered bits and pieces, parts of a new type, filled the box to the brim again. What a lucky day for a 3D puzzle enthusiast that Jiksap was.
It negates one spell cast against you, and gains a charge. Negation has a cooldown of three turns (Turn on which it negates a spell counts). At any number of charges greater than zero, the device can be used as a bomb(With timer), with explosion power becoming greater with each extra charge.
