Fly after the demon Mage,use both essences to summon a large peregrine falcon(about 50-100% larger)
To dive at him
All birds +velociraptors follow me,try to attack him

((Sorry for that. I'll try to be more clear next time. Btw, you forgot to add crafted essences.))

"Ranged attack? Perfect. Now mages would concentrate their spells on me, forfeiting their lives in the process. Hm... About that, do you hear something?"

Walk around the Tower, seeking mages to hunt. ((Triad, Jiksap, Viznor & newest arrivals excluded.))

If found: Concentrate on one mage, using demon as a sharpshooter while I close for the kill.
If not: Slowly walk south around the lake. There must be some mages on the shore! Craft four essences to prepare.

Science is always important. But it needs more flaming cats. Can't we build bridge-based catapults and fling flaming cats at the dust and goo?

It's time for the ATHATH Death Counter to increase once more in celebration for the end of the world.

Enchant my swiss army knife to give me the affinity of Portals
Just my opinion, but obtaining an entire affinity simply by enchanting an item seems seriously overpowered, especially when the affinity in question has nothing to do with your current affinity. I feel that obtaining new affinities should require effort, as in collecting soul shards, discovering artifacts, and other such methods, rather than by simply casting a cheap spell.

So far, Skeliborn has been capable of enchanting his blade with Vortex Bane, Acid Vacuum, and Skill. I'll agree that gaining entire affinities through this does seem quite ridiculous, however. DG, what's your word on the matter?

My opinion is that it would be too OP. Skeliborn will need to find another course of action if he wants portals. Besides that, the sword has reached maximum enchantment density for it's material. Any more enchantment would either destroy previous enchantments or the sword itself.

The anvil engraving is not in the description because it does not affect sword's function in any way.

The point of keeping the golems on fire isn't for the value of fire as a weapon. It's more to keep the golems functioning at a reasonable speed.
It was never a promise. It was a dirty lie, and you all knew that. You should all know by now that you can't trust a word I say.

((It would definitely be possible to get an affinity by enchanting an item... but absurdly difficult.

((Couldn't Skelliborn just create a temporary, blade-shaped portal when he wants to come back? I doubt it would be easy, per se, but it's not ridiculously overpowered.))

((May I suggest a compromise. Make the swiss army knife have the affinity if the spell works but give it a ridiculous debuff for all spells I casy using the portal affinity. (Like -30 cmp when  casting portal spells or -10 potency) given that the most I can put into a spell is +5/+5, this debuff would make the portal affinity unusable for me until I spend several turns creating essences and slowly adding them into the blade))

((OK I exaggerated alot on debuffs))

((Obviously, such artifacts of power exist, though creating them yourself is a bit stupid without enormous amounts of power. Besides, you don't know the secret of the ancients to doing it or whatever. And what if those affinity items work by storing part of someone's soul???))

A heap of scrap indeed! A more... undamaged machine would've been better, but as I always say (and them too!) there is no such thing as useless!
Pollute the water by emptying my tankful of liquid into it. Make a makeshift scuba gear using the tank as an air tank (and some scrap parts for the rest).

((What I meant by storing part of a soul is literally stuffing an affinity into an item. You separate your affinity from yourself and put it in the item.

Also, I'm pretty sure DG is serious about enchantment density. I would not try making it any more awesome than it already is at this point.))
