Also, I came up with an epitaph for the gravestone of Bloodmage Jackson, if he ever gets one:

Here lies Jackson, may he rise as an undead abonimation and take his revenge against those who have wronged him (and/or participate in a Thriller parody, either one is fine).
He died as he lived: singing, bleeding, committing crimes against nature, and on fire.

((Well, if Easter and your headless corpse survive this, I can use it as nutrition for my future wasps. You will live on in more than just memory.))

[Atomic Chicken]

((So, to recap: we've now got a brand new abomination of nature fire-containing tree, a pile of charred corpses and a handful of unclaimed shards (which may or may not have been destroyed already), all just a stone's throw away from a !!duel!! between a bodiless nature druid, a phoenix and a mage in a wasp suit. Oh, and the mage community as a whole is now at risk of being stalked and murdered by a blood genie summoned in some basement at the far reaches of the world.))

"Any mage may glean information from their surroundings, although I find that I am often more aware of the process than most. Think, Trickster, of the instant in which you sense the beginnings of a spell, or recognize the desires of one who seeks your death. I have knowledge of the same. There are, of course, certain limits to such a power, even for one such as I. A mage cannot penetrate the surface of a fellow's mind, and our kind are as predictable as a roll of the dice."

"I digress. Your request is certainly within my power, and it is a desire I, myself, appreciate. I am afraid that I do not have much use for potions in recompense, as I may produce a similar effect with my own abilities. However, your assistance in a spell, and the addition of a portion of your more chaotic essences to this battery's stores, would be very much appreciated."

"Very well. Name your price, and we will begin this transaction."

((Whisperling, feel free to send me a PM if you want the details of the spell you mentioned to remain secret.))

Summon sword of summoning nearby objects.
Use:
1 Blade essences +1CMP
1 Blade essences +1POT
4 Blade essences +1/+1

Use the sword to summon the shards to me.

[DreamerGhost]

PSA:Damond's shards are where his body was, meaning in a massive pillar of flame.

((Oh wow, this turn came out earlier than I expected!))

Manipulate blood to crush pyramid crystal

((If I remember correctly, it's a rock, not a crystal, but I guess that's not too significant.))

Kick dust into Kahel's eyes and give him the magical equivalent of a convulsive seizure by making his limbs (including the arm holding the dangerous cutting implement) move around erratically (much like I'd done with the vines back in that underwater pyramid deathtrap). Direct the pyramid to discharge its beam into the blood barrier, hopefully disintegrating it.

[XXXXYYYY]

Reinforce the enchantment that increases LUCK while casting, making it more effective. Use a +1/+2, +2/+1, and 2 +1/+1 essences. Then make an essence.

[Zormod]

Summon a healing cube. Take a look at that leader's robes, and consider replacing or supplementing my own.

[ATHATH]

I just remembered that Jackson lost his throat before he died. I've edited the epitaph accordingly.

[AoshimaMichio]

"Yet another mage without understanding balance has caused birth of abomination. Will they ever learn?"

In the end a tree is still a tree, even if it has no place in this world. Shias approaches location of his body to check out if it survived or not. Then he walks/floats next to the firetree, touches it and asks (magic if necessary): "Who are you?"

[star2wars3]

((the good news is that it's not another eldritch tree.

[ATHATH]

((the good news is that it's not another eldritch tree.

InB4 it is, in fact, another eldritch tree.

God damn it.

Manipulate blood to crush pyramid crystal, while gutting Xom with cutlass. Then, cast "Chilling hands" upon Chaos mage. (or pyramid, if he dies)

With a flick of Kahel's hand, solid blood around the pyramid's cap began moving and churning trying to grind down the magical stone. It was not doing much damage, but neither mage had time to see that. Xom was too busy trying the oldest trick in the book of kicking dust in Kahel's eyes and was finding out that it was far harder than it seemed in theory. Kahel, unbothered by this, stabbed forward, but accidentally aimed a bit too high and his blow was deflected by a rib, causing a wide gash on Xom's right side rather than killing him. Xom returned the attack by causing random convulsions in Kahel's muscles, focused on his blade arm. It was less successful than he hoped, as Kahel not only failed to cut himself, but even managed enough self control while convulsing on the ground to grab Xom's left leg and freeze it solid. Some distance away pyramid disintegrated blood that tried to attack it.

[Sarrak]

Hide from pyramid beams behind the Xom (since he can't really move now). Freeze & hack him some more. If there is still some 'free' blood - send it to grind at the pyramid.

[Gonchon]

woops, press the air button.
