Spoiler: Sample Powers: The Law (click to show/hide)

Flame of Purity-Sets excess magic aflame, burning it to nothing.
Plea Deal-Provides assistance to another, provide they keep their part of the deal.
Penance Stare-Looks another in the eyes, filling them with guilt over breaking the laws of reality and morality.
Setting a Bounty- Puts a bounty on another's head, allowing the caster to teleport to his location, and setting up a reward for his capture. More value caught alive.
Sin Burden-Weighs down the target for his crimes. The weight grows heavier the more he breaks reality.
Back up- Call for assistance, whereupon a Deputy-Magician comes to assist. If necessary, am Avatar of Status Quo may come, if the need is especially serious.

In addition to these, he may also buff others who keep The Law willingly, and actively attempt to defend Reality from fracture by either reversing or strengthening a spell's effect.

((Just wondering... what would Bernardo have against a mad scientist and his paleontologist friend?

..He'll probably try to kick our butts the moment we summon a robot dinosaur. Or summon mechanical parts. Or magically repair something. Or build a laser cannon. Oh god. I already have one.

OH NO I FORGOT TO PAY THE ELECTRICITY BILL))

((He's there to clean up, and your entire purpose being there is more than enough to start cracking down. That being said, there's much bigger fish to fry, and seems to me that you wouldn't be in TOO much trouble, comparatively speaking.))

I'm gonna give you conditional curses/enchantments (A condition for activation and dispelling both manadatory). I'll also give you "enforce physical law", to prevent bending laws of physics for spellcasting. This, plus summoning law spirit (various ranks) should give you all spells you thought up, if used correctly, without making it too ambigious what you can and can't do.

((Okay, that sounds good. Thanks.))

You could also summon Lawful-Aligned beings, like Formians.

((Well. This is most CERTAINLY interesting.))

Name: Chorkinaan
Affinity: Physicality (there may not be a word in the english language; this was the best I could come up with)
Description: A short man always wearing a fancy hoodless black-patterned cloak. He has very long hair, and his right hand has an enormous scar which looks as though half of the skin is gone from it.
STR=3
DEX=3
SPD=0
END=1
POT=1

((The idea here is that he can create magical projections in solid form. The easiest way to do this is to create a simple shape (Cube, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, etc.) which is brittle, as heavy as average wood, moves normally, and fades in about an hour. Creating a complex shape such as that of furniture incurs a -1, as would a shape which moves abnormally. (floating, nonmoving, falls sideways or upwards...) This also applies to shapes which are too big; for every 1-meter cube it fills, barring the first, that's another -1.))

((I'm just doing this because I'm interested, I'd like to be involved somehow, but I'm not sure when that's going to be a thing I can do, so I'm just making my presence known for now. If anyone gave me advice, that would be fantastic.))

[ironsnake345]

((Oop, missed a few of the rules. Boy do I feel awkward. Either way, some help and advice would be appreciated.))

(((Un?)fortunately, it is a word in English. It can mean 2 things:
1. Intense physical orientation (Lower other stats, higher strength)
2. Physical aspect(Which, means, a aspect in a aspect. Confusing, eh?)
In other words, you can not only create various physical shapes, but also add another physical aspects (like weight, strength, melting point, etc.) and convert your own magic(or other stats) into physical power(strength).))
((Cycle, Flow, Fabric and Chain Reaction. Have anyone thought about any of that aspect yet?))

[Sarrak]

((So many newer mages... I feel bad deciding on not hunting them for a while. So much easy shards...))

((Join F.E.C.E.S! For extra murder, loot hunting, and [REDACTED]!))
((Advice number two: make 3 essences of your affinity in each non-combat turn, and hopefully in each of your combat turns as well. Essences are the thing used in combat. The thing. Although the boost to a spell you can get from them is capped at +5/+5, that's still pretty substantial...))

[Whisperling]

((Yeah, but at +5+5 you end up with horrible speed and dex penalties...))

((As for tips- stay in the eldritch tower for a +1+1 magic bonus and some measure of protection. There's also a library and garden.))

[ATHATH]

I think Corporeality might suit your vision better, but you might prefer your current affinity.

((Better yet join TOAM.  (Although IC your character knows nothing about the existence of either guild)))

[Salsacookies]

((Or how about you join the Whitehats. Help clean up the mess these greedy mages have made.

As for affinity name, I thing Geometric Manifest sounds cool.))
