If Viznor starts making the armor, Easter Sunday uses +5 +5 non chaotic essence to help.
If not, he imbues more power with any chaotic essence into the eggs

((You're a bit short on CMP essences there. Which is to say, not enough to get more than +4 CMP on your armor, and I'd like the "off" mages (including myself) to use essences worth at least +2+2 to ensure low rolls don't send effort down the drain.

I could probably throw a few essences into my cloak and then let you draw from it, since I have a decent supply. Would like to get repayed when you have more, though. That OK to you?))

"Very well."

First things first, use the yes/no book to confirm that nobody (including me) is cheating anybody else or messing with spells. Assuming things check out, move onwards.

Create armor of solid binding. Specifically, the binding of force. Improve this functionality with a knowledge system that will strategically release the captured force in order to harm the attacker. Use two knowledge essences +1+1 on the spell. Don't summon it onto my body or anything, but keep it in my inventory until we can actually exchange the stuff.

May or may not edit in essence transfer shenanigans.

Seva sent out his treasure bird to look for treasure. On one hand, the result proved that it worked. On another, the library was a treasure already found. The tower was not the best place to look for unclaimed treasure, there were too many mages here claiming it all.

One great way to make metals out of other stuff was atomic reconstructor. The trouble with atomic reconstructor was that it was one step above in energy after fusion reactor. This one was... leaking. It could handle the temperature. Probably. Or it would explode violently three seconds after turning on.

{Defective Atomic reconstructor(metal). Can change stuff into metals. Has 1/3 chance to explode violently on activation.}

Go back to searching for the original.

Cuberac returned to his search for the black cube, but once more found nothing but sand and rocks. There was something else there too though. Something was moving the ground, digging through it at great speed. And judging from it's direction and that swift turn, it had just found Cuberac.

Skeliborn decided that the thing this situation required was more sharp edges. A large scimitar appeared, followed by a nice looking knife followed by an iron splinter. Well, two out of three wasn't bad.

Chorkinaan stretched his hands and reached his toes. Then he reached a bit past. All of his joints were very flexible now, not only those in his hands and legs. That being said, he could use his hands as whips, they were that flexible. A whole lot of torture techniques that involved bending fingers wouldn't work on him no longer either.

Viznor checked his book to ensure sincerity as was becoming a habit and began casting. He conjured a platemail armor of binding and just before the spell finished, Easter joined in with his contribution. The armor grew significantly, gaining chitinous details and some yelowish spikes. When the platemail fell to the ground it was large enough for Easter to wear on his living armor and seemed quite menacing.

Three essences, and use the orb to discreetly check up on any upcoming disturbances, such as the ritual outside.

Gambler looked through his crystal ball into the scene unfolding nearby. Viznor and Easter Sunday conjured a set of platemail - judging from the size for Easter. As if he needed more armor, the guy was already difficult to kill. Other than that, there wasn't anything too sinister going on, massive man eating poisonous wasp infestation aside.

"Well, that's... well, it's not as though I'm going to use it for anything other than a sacrifice."

Doktor Diabolical sits down and initializes the aether resonance matrix using the parts cutter bot(get back here!), the factory bot, and the atomic reconstructor bot as sacrifices.

Intended effect: create(-1) a huge(-2) robot that creates other robots with a three-step process: first, it transmutes the materials it is given into metals(?, might be covered by sacrifice), then shapes the metals into robot parts(?, same), then assembles robots from them(?, same) according to Doktor Diabolical's orders(-1). Also, all robots created by it automatically obey Doktor Diabolical's orders(-?).

((I'll go ahead and set the spell up, because why not)).

Already checked the book for this trade, so I think we're good on that front.

Create a talisman which gives the wearer the dexterity and speed of an insect. Gun for at least +1 to each (more if possible). If I could get more dex by dropping speed, I'd gladly do so.

Viznor helps with five knowledge essences +1+1.

I'd like Easter use essences worth at least +2+2, to ensure success and because that's what I did for his. Throw him an extra CMP essence through the cloak, if need be (and assuming I can do that).

When the spell is completed, I suppose we each start wearing our respective items instead of leaving them on the floor.

Cuberac waited patiently as the rumble approached him. At the last moment he backfliped backwards and landed just far away to see a massive worm break through the ground in the place where he recently stood. As tiny stones fell all around Cuberac had a few moments to take attention to details, namely that the worm was about large enough to swallow his leg whole but it had a sharp beak on it's front that could impale him if he ever failed to dodge it.

LUCK [9]

Seva left the wizard oversaturated Tower and flew off towards the swamps. Sunken treasure was the one most likely to remain unclaimed after long amounts of time after all. Looking at a sharp edge poking out of wet dirt on which the treasure bird perched, Seva began to understand why the treasure was unclaimed. Digging out whatever this was out of the muck would be a chore.

Doktor ordered his cutter bot back and began his work as soon as it returned. Alone, these bots were not overly impressive, but they could be remade into something greater and far more respectable. As soon as drones were captured by the spell, the form began shaping but it was going slow. Maybe he should had put up some black candles, just for aesthetic purpose, obviously, no rituals here.

Skeliborn noticed that he was lacking in a certain matter. He had no way to cut ghosts on him. Swiftly, he conjured an ethereal blade, or at least, attempted to. What actually appeared was more akin to a knife with some really strange bends that Skeliborn couldn't pick up. This thing was entirely ethereal.

Chorkinaan carefully put away the cleaved apart dummies and other assorted broken parts scattered around the smithy. There were no replacements here so that would have to do. Well, aside form some weapon racks, nothing of real value was lost. It wasn't too bad.

Viznor and Easter focused on the second part of the deal, forging an amulet of swiftness. They pooled their magical power and this time result was considerably smaller but still contained great magical power. The amulet itself was a stylized wasp in a hexagon, and was made of black and yellow chitin.

Gambler continued focusing his power and this time he was visited by extra fortune. One of his essences escaped into the walls, revealing in a glint of a coin spinning through the air, just for a moment, a great secret. Name of the Goddess of Luck. Probably not the name of the Goddess of Luck, as she was a particularly powerful one, but that would be enough to call forth a random effect to happen to anyone in hearing range.

((Dexterity (the way it's used in RTD, anyway) does actually have a lot to do with prediction. Knowing where exactly your opponent will be or when a projectile would hit are important while aiming and dodging, for one.

Of course, even less prediction-dependent actions could benefit from instinctive knowledge of where and how to place your fingers/other body parts.))

"It was a pleasure to do business, master of wasps. This charm will be of great use to me, and I trust that you will find your armor similarly valuable."

With that, Viznor walks into a nearby wall, ethereal string noisily dragging itself behind him. PM action afterwards.
