((well, for one, I'm pretty sure I used up those two +1 pot's, and I think I noticed having a few others which I had stated a desire to use up entirely. It's been a bit though, I can't remember super clearly.))

MOAR POWAAAAARRRR!!! (4 +1/+1 essences)

[DAPARROT]

fire breath on the wasps then fly away from them, to the tower unless they are in that direction, in the direction with the least mages if they are

[star2wars3]

Continue the ritual. +2/+2 essences

[TheBiggerFish]

Er, do you need something from me or what?

Yes, accept connection.

Doktor Diabolical:

"Well, this is inconvenient."

Doktor Diabolical tries again, building on what's already been done. 1 +1/+1 essence, 1 +1/+2 essence. Afterwards, if he isn't attacked, he makes 3 robots essences. If he is attacked, he sics his cubebots and attack drone on the attacker.

[Mallos]

Poke around for anything like ruins or caves with 'strong presences'. Probe them.

It had been a while since Redrum had last reanimated a creature of this size, and the hydra's polycephalic anatomy was proving to be a more complex obstacle than he'd initially anticipated. Perhaps pausing to perform a simpler task would allow him to recharge his reserves before another attempt.

Further enchant (chaotic +1/+1) the soul-trapping lantern, converting it into an on-demand spirit incinerator.
Following this, craft 3 essences.

Council spell, which should come into effect next turn:

As I said, this is essentially wizard Skype. Use knowledge magic to detect the locations of every [player-character] mage, on or off the island, and set up a communication network which records their voices and surroundings. These feeds will essentially be put together and magiced to create a "video" of everyone in the council chamber, which appears as a sort of "screen" in front of each mage. That should be an actual, light-based screen, by the way. Mind magic is just asking to be hijacked.

Should anyone offer to help, use the yes/no book to confirm their good intentions (and show them my own, for that matter), and assuming everything checks out, take full advantage of their assistance. If we have two or more mages, including myself, I feel it is quite possible to make this a system which recharges once every twenty turns. For now, anyway, we'll definitely improve it later. Halve this number for each mage beyond the second.

EDIT: Whoops, forgot to put essence use. Use 3 +1 POT and +1 CMP knowledge essences, and two knowledge essences +1+1.

Assist with the spell, perhaps examining the glass orb to provide some further help with shaping the viewing portion of the spell. Assuming the recharge is being added, add a decent chance of the recharge happening substantially quicker. Use 4 +1/+1 essences, and one each of the +1 to CMP and POT essences for the spell in total.

If I misread and the spell isn't being cast this turn, make four essences instead.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

CMP [2+1+1+5=9]
POT [4+1+1+5=11]

CMP [1+1+1+5=8]
POT [5+1+1+1+5=13]

CMP [6+1+1+2=10]
POT [2+1+1+3=7]

CMP [6+3+1+1=11]
POT [4+2+1+1=8]

The spell was cast and the dice were thrown. Magic reached out to all mages that had arrived on the island, even those that had moved away since. It was not an overly strong link, but it was not meant to be. This was magic only for those willing to make use of it. Screens appeared in the Council chambers, one in front of each seat. Over twenty of the screens lit up, though no faces presented themselves just yet. Mages found screens hovering before them, waiting for their input. Four mages breathed again, as the spell they crafted worked.

{Council call:
-Recharge: 5 turns.
-Applies to all mages in game.
-Can be activated by any of the four that cast it or by anyone visiting the Council chamber.}

((Does it require me to use my turn if I wish to convene with the council members?))

[star2wars3]

((If I could easily use my magic to do so, I would make the mage Skype permanent))

[ironsnake345]

((I don't know that we can stop and use the mage skype. We're kind of in the middle of a ritual right now.))

[Whisperling]

((Does it require me to use my turn if I wish to convene with the council members?))

((It shouldn't. There'd just be an illusory screen hanging in the air in front of you, which you can talk into and such.))

((If I could easily use my magic to do so, I would make the mage Skype permanent))

((It is permanent, it just has a five-turn cooldown. I am, however, planning to remove that later, and I would definitely appreciate your help.))

((I don't know that we can stop and use the mage skype. We're kind of in the middle of a ritual right now.))

((People talk and do other assorted stuff while magicing all the time, so I can't imagine it would be an issue.))

-------------------------

"Many thanks to you, Gambler, and to others who did not wish to reveal themselves."

Activate the system.

[ironsnake345]

Edwinn stared incredulously at the screen before him.

What the-? A council call? We're way out in the very boonies of the universe. This deathmatch really is attracting a lot of powerful people... More even than I realized apparently.

Edwinn flexed his magical muscles, activating the screen.

Eh, hello? Anyone there?

Just confirming that Whisperling is correct on all accounts.

Filtiarn observes the magical screen suspiciously. "What is this now?"

Make three essences.
