Doktor Diabolical:
"I've always wanted to say this... STRIKE THE EARTH! Diabolically!"
Doktor Diabolical orders his miner-bot to dig a spiral staircase straight down. While that's happening, he creates(-1) a robotic attack drone(-1 for flying?) that will obey his orders(-1). He uses 2 +1/+1 essences, a +1 CMP essence, and a +1 POT essence on that spell. Afterwards, he makes 2 Robots essences.

LUCK [7]
Drone bit into the earth and soon chunks of grassland were sent flying. First few steps were created in moments and then drone disappeared beneath the earth. Doktor, seeing that his input was not required, at least for the moment, began conjuring another drone. Unlike all others before it, this one was meant for combat and brimmed with many sharp edges. A small propeller on the top kept it airborne and allowed it to move fast enough to make good use fo those knives and axes stacked onto it.
Make sure he's not going to get back up somehow, and loot those shards.

Cuberac approached the slumped down Blake intending to finish him off, but it turned out that Blake was more used to concussions than he let on. Swiftly, he turned on his back and blasted approaching Cuberac with hellfire. Or he tried to. Flames did not go far from his hand, preferring to fry the flesh that conjured them. Cuberac exploited this chance and swung his bladecube at Blake again, but he hit only ground as Blake was swift despite his injuries.
Khozek suddenly looks like he has had an epiphany.
"Wait, Karnax. Don't answer that question, I have a brilliant and highly dangerous idea.
Attempt to use a human-sized spatial tear to contact myself from the closest alternate dimension,expending my essence in the process.

LUCK [4]
Khozek conjured a portal, a portal that bent space towards nowhere, a portal that sought out himself that was thickness of a shadow away. It did not work out well. The portal began spewing out sparks of magic and plasma, before winking out entirely. There was only a small pit where portal claimed all nearby matter before winking out.
... When did this place even become a crater? Go around and move further west.
Duritarum sneaked northwest around the crater quietly. Whatever had caused the crater was unlikely to be something healthy to encounter. The crater probably had something to do with the gargantuan beholder that was around here previously. Did the mages succeed or was the whole area wiped out by a greater foe? Duritarum had little desire to check.
Redrum frowned and gestured at the corpse again, more forcefully this time. The necromancer was getting impatient.
Try to raise the dead again, adding +1POT +1CMP of extra juice to the spell. If it fails, throw a necromantic doom tantrum by means of essence roulette. Otherwise, hand the shovel to the new drudge, order it to start digging somewhere else and make 3 essences.

Redrum gestured again, and this time the mud lost the tug of war over the corpse. It rose, shambling, was handed a shovel and instructed to dig. It took a bit until it actually started, as it was very stupid. Stupid and slow, good enough for digging but not much else. Still, it beat doing work himself, so Redrum began gathering more power for more minions.

Skeliborn waited as his wound finished regenerating and began gathering power. This sword of purity took a bit of power out of him and he wanted to be ready for the time of the ritual. With closed doors and burned flowers, there shouldn't be any more interruptions, so they would begin soon.
Curse the flower network with unresponsiveness. (3 +1/+1 essences)

Gloomier did not enjoy the hallucinations very much. He disliked t so much, he decided to be unlike any other mage in the tower and do something about it. Flowers were hidden behind aether screens now, but that was a minor inconvenience. Curse spread out through the system, bringing wittering and sluggishness to whatever spells commanded them.

Easter charged at Seva, trying to catch the neck of the phoenix in between his mandibles, but the firebird proved swifter. As the mini-phoenix distracted Easter again, Seva managed to catch Easter by his foot and rose into the air, dragging Easter with him.
"What a marvelous opportunity..."
Gaze upon the stars. Lose myself in the view.
Ao gazed upon the stars. He could had used the telescope but the sky was so clear he didn't really need it. There was a sort of balance in the stars, they moved through the sky unchanging, as something much greater than whatever could be happening down here. Which was true in a way. What really resonated with Ao were the constellations. They were nothing like what he saw from the temple, and yet they still contained same power.

"That will never happen, hat magician. I need more power to protect forests and this is where power can be found."

While Shias is casting his spell, convert his root armor into immobile spellseal glass. Use a +1/+2 essence and a +2/+1 chaotic essence.
{@XXXXYYYY/Gambler You only have luck essences, they don't work on glass spells.
@TheBiggerFish/Magus N.A. You have no combination of essences that would result in 2CMP and nothing else. It surprised me too. +1 was used instead.}

END [2]
Shias began forging a spell to deal with those pesky mages once and for all, but others were swifter. Viznor dove out of a wall and this time caught Shias with both hands, sinking his claws into Shia's head. Poison spread swiftly, clouding Shias mind, but it was not nearly as damaging as the spell Viznor channeled through the claws. Wood and flesh around the claws disintegrated into yellow glowing dust, which seemed to disrupt Shia's mind even more. Other two mages added to the effort, Gambler turning few pieces of wood armor into glass and Magus producing another shockwave of Silence that liquidized walls and scattered Magus himself. Magus resumed his human form, which was rather torn up now, possibly as a result or violent reversal. It would not matter to Shias, as he was almost entirely catatonic by now.
{Shias: Poison,Mental overload, END roll to resume thinking, -1/-1 to casting.}
{Magus N.A.: Torn up, bleeding(4 turns till death (Will heal from tower aura before death))}
