{Ritual POT:78 Of it Chaotic:1 Sacrifices left:Finished}
One of three remaining sacrifices flared with power and burned away. Two remaining ones soon followed, but their flames wrapped back towards the stiletto, which had developed a faint glow. It was finished. The stiletto was imbued with power to bend fate in ways that made it had always been bent. And it refracted fate like a diamond refracting light. A path of gold for one holding the handle and a path of lead to one touching the edge. But there was no handle, except for the one that was in Gambler's mind, as the stiletto flew around propelled by magic and will.
When a target is struck by Stiletto, it automatically instantly fails a LUCK roll. For each consecutive strike, the number of instantly failed LUCK rolls increases by one.
For each strike against a mage by the Stiletto that connects, the wielder gains one "Fortune's Smile". "Fortune's Smile can be used to automatically succeed a LUCK roll.
Doktor Diabolical:
"Blast. I'm going to need a better scanner, then."
Three essences in preparation to make a better scanner. Some sort of underground sonic radar, maybe. Mining continues, away from the hidden fun stuff and adamantine.

Doktor gathered more power to see if he was truly so unfortunate, if the fate really was teasing him so. Though, it seemed that there was other fortune buried in the rock so strangely close to the surface. It started as some chunks of molten rock that seemed like it had once been a meteorite. Then the mining bot pulled one of these meteorites from the rock and found that its other side was covered with diamonds. It was more than a handful of them there and it was not the only meteorite shard in sight.
Use my eye cube to find the bear.
Cuberac sent out his diamond eye to where disturbed snow was seeded with attack cubes. The bear had doubtlessly improved its already good disguise by piling snow on itself, but maybe there would still be something. And indeed there was. A black spot on closer examination turned out to be the nose of the bear Cuberac was looking for. With this, he knew where the bear was, and to little surprise it was the centerpiece of scattered cubes and craters in the snow.
Three +1/+1 essences: a ring which enhances curse magic.

Gloomy focused his power nice more into a ring shape, but this time it would empower rather than erode. A ring to strengthen his peculiar powers. Alas, even with a power boost from the Tower he did not have quite enough power. The ring was there and it worked, but it was wasting away as Gloomy watched.
animate the shovel, giving it leg like appendages if necessary, so that it can shovel mud into the lily pads by itself

LUCK [6]
Seva decided that it was about time to test the emerald in spells that were slightly less related to growing and attempted to animate the shovel he was using. The shovel spun in the air, throwing mud everywhere, then landed in the mud and continued spinning, throwing even more mud everywhere. Birds fled to a safe distance, leaving Seva to be caked with slightly magical dirt and water.
"It is a good place to meditate..."
Sit down in the garden and become one with universe. Ponder on the nature of the sword.
The thing about the universe is that there is a lot of it. Ao was finding this out while asking for a directions from a friendly genie after he took a wrong turn and found himself sixty trillion miles away from his body. The pure spirit was not limited in speed, but looking through everything in the universe would had taken too long even so. But the genie wasn't lying, and Ao found himself back in the Tower. But not quite back in his body yet, as a smoking spirit looking like a particularly ugly monkey was already reaching towards his body, seeking to snatch it.
