I just realized that for sword making I need a -1 mod for solidity, unless I happen to find a sword / sword parts which I don't need magic to craft together nessecarily.

((I just realized that for sword making I need a -1 mod for solidity, unless I happen to find a sword / sword parts which I don't need magic to craft together necessarily.))

((There was a discussion on this exact phenomenon a while back, but the general gist is that you have to find the balance between overly specific (such as fire, which had a massive heap of problems) and overly general. This arises from the malus system, where getting more and more specific will continue to apply malus after malus until you're guaranteed to botch the spell. On the other hand, being too specific won't allow you to do anything, because your affinity wouldn't have enough leeway. I'd recommend trying to come up with 3 or 4 specific spells to cover the largest number of cases with the least maluses. If you can't figure out at least 3 varied cases, your affinity's probably a bit too specific, and if you're getting too many maluses, it's too general. Or it could be more of an action, like Etszu's Fleshwarping and James' Summoning affinities, but you could easily fall into problems with those as well.

Or, you could just come up with an affinity you find interesting or intriguing, which has been how I've chosen my affinities (Fleshwarping and Luck).

Anyway, you'd actually want summon, not solidity. Solidity is for if you tried to make a sword out of water or fire. "Summon a sword" would be just a static -1, which would couple with your natural +0 (from only 2 POT) to give you an overall -1 to your rolls. It'd be unpredictable at best, but it'd give you something.))

I already asked DG about that in a pm, and he said that he'd consider it, but it won't be implemented yet.

I want to make my sword out of any material available (Not including myself at this point). So yeah even a sword made out of dust would do so long as it was compressed enough so as to make it rock solid or better. (If anyone has any admantium or an admantium sword for sale, I will pay in shards or will offer to repair/buff an existing weapon you have)

Check lake's shores. I think there are still some salvagable parts of adamantium mech laying there, ignored by everymage.

[endlessblaze]

((uh hello? metal mage right here!))

((I have a huge pile of scrap adamantium, as well as some cancerous or necromantic metals and some ordinary steel and iron.))

By the way where is the council being held? My goal was to join the game just in time to make it to council but in doing so I haven't had time to read the thread up present day. (I've reading like a madman all weekend trying to catch up)

I'm going to change my action to go to the lake where the obsidian lake died to collect obsidian for swords. (I will be sellling these to anyone who wants for shards and stuff."Special Edition Swords Made From Obsidian From Some Long Forgotten Wreck, Highest Quality For The Lowest Prices (Free for the triad because I know that I don't want to get on their badside.)")

*I apologize If I stole anyone's color scheme (White with red shadow). I am just using this one until GM assigns me a color scheme)*

Also sorry metal mage but I like cheap materials and the idea of creating a 20ft long obsidian sword sounds to good to be true.

((You pick your own colors, star wars. The council should happen at the portal as soon as Beirus makes his way there. That, or he does mass murder of unprecedented scale.))

[fillipk]

((I think the council is in a couple turns.  Where will it be held? Will everyone be there, and will someone make a building for it to be held in?))

"James, do you think you could summon me some matches or a lighter, or something to light things on fire with?  I don't have much to give you so you don't need to spend too much effort on it."

[Whisperling]

((I have a huge pile of scrap adamantium, as well as some cancerous or necromantic metals and some ordinary steel and iron.))

((...You know what? Come to think of it, I might be interested in messing around with the hazardous waste. Just some small chunks, enough to fit into part of a gun/gauntlet or something like that.))

[AoshimaMichio]

"Fire? You are not going to burn plants, aren't you?"

[star2wars3]

I just realized that I borrowed the color scheme of one of the triad. Please accept my apologies oh mighty Triad.

Oh and once I get obsidian from the lake assuming I can move all of it in the form of a blade I can make a council building entirely out of weirdly shaped obsidian blades.

[fillipk]

"Fire? You are not going to burn plants, aren't you?"

"No I promise not to burn any plants. Already got a forest of trents angry at me over a misunderstanding, don't want to actually do something to set them off."
