There's also the rule that essences can't entirely save you from a bad roll. A natural 1 will still have some bad effects even if 1000 essences are used.

((Unless in a case where they already spellmantle-d from side effects, which even disable side effects of -1(1 reduced by 2, not 1 reduced by 1) at a big spell to just effectively nothing. I not gonna risk it, so i think it's better to have 990 essences to actually do the spell and use 10 to reduce the side effects.))

((The infinite essence method confirmed to chek out mathematicly.

Any atempt to create an essence using another essence will now result in atempting mage turning inside-out due to conflicting curents of magic as they atempt to both store and use the power within them ath the same time.))

((Cue someone finding a way around that. Witch is the. Crushed by the gm, casueing a new way around to be made, and so on.))

((Well, i see a new loophole there: Summon consumable magic enchancer and done.))

Jiksap's new creation was a thing of beauty in his eyes. A mechanical paradox: always broken yet always functioning, the gears turning even as they collide. He knew now that he would finally be able to think in peace... or, at least, peaceful on the outside. What goes on inside is quite the opposite.
Create 3 essences, meditate with my cool thingy that represents my insanity. Obviously, think of crazy things! Like the relationship between the crazed mind of the inventor to the mechanical order of the finished product!

If Viznor agrees to the trade: turn Viznors "bone claws" item into a more bladish, more powerful, bigger, enchanted blade, sharper etc. version of itself using:
2 Blade essences +1/+1 in return for more knowledge of the vortex bane's properties.

If not, create 3 essences.

Also walk through the council room trying to get to know the other mages and get some allies. Even the strongest mage has weak spots in their magic defense, something which allies can help cover for.

Using enough +1 CMP and +1 POT essences to get me a total bonus (including my natural bonus, the competence aura, etc.) of +3+3, Find out more about Vortex Bane for Skeleborn. In particular, figure out exactly how unbreakable it is (how well can it resist magic, how much physical force can in take, that sort of thing), how its powers can be used (beyond destroying vortexes), and how large a role Hephustus actually played in making it.

If possible, implant the information directly into Skeliborn's mind. ((IE, have it PM'd to him)). Try to do the spell at the same time he enhances my claws.

Pick up the book, and take it with me. Use a spell to figure out what the valuable thing I found is (preferably including a run-down of what it is/can do. Could you PM that bit to me?), then get the library to bring it to me. If that doesn't work out for whatever reason, just go look for it myself, since I assume the scanning spell at least gave me an idea as to where it is.

Also do this:

Make two essences afterwards.

"We will wait for James before we decide on anything. I still have some modifications to make "


Transfer power from the mind wipe defence to the competence aura.

Have the castle form part of the solid aether of the table into a tablet for me. If it has to be a spell, use my +1/+1 aether essence on it. If not, use the essence on my first spell.

You do realize that one of the only things in the fortress that keeps it from being the site of a mass murder is that anti-violence field, right?

The mind wipe aura is my thing, so I'm pretty sure it's within my power to regulate what Jace is doing. Arrange things so that the mind wipe aura will divert its power to the competence aura, but only if nobody has hostile intentions. Since the intent-detection system is technically separate, that shouldn't be an issue.

Jace, if you would like to improve the competence aura, I would be happy to help you. I do, however, ask that you try to keep the defense system in working order.

Continue travelling, creating 3 essences on the way.

I got distracted again, so no update today. Depending on how tomorow goes, next turn will come out in 12-24 hours.

((Whisperling, isn't Viznor in the library? Jase is in the chamber. How does Viznor have any idea of what Jase is doing? And while I do think that the mindwipe was a nice idea, Jase believes that people should be punished after doing something wrong, not before. While he might be supportive of mind wiping someone who attempted to kill another mage inside the fortress, he is not okay with preemptively mind wiping someone for getting angry and thinking about shouting expletives, since the verbal abuse could be considered hostile.))

((It's...not actually causing any damage. It just prevents people from attacking others, because they forget the action in question before they do it. Nothing even remotely approaching preemptive punishment.))

((And I kinda assume Viznor has a feel for this thing. He made it, after all.))

((Not really. Elder mages are simply not bloodthirsty enough.))

Animate my own blood. All essences.

((Just a nifty precaution for the future, as well as first step for something more interesting... Considering my staff, I would still function quite well with a heart torn out - giving me time to think of something.))
