Updated Front Page.
Lightning Magic : Controlling the flow of lightning would allow for a lot of destruction. That's a no no.

I was more of thinking of just shooting out individual bolts of lightning from my hands rather than calling down thunderstorms from the sky but I'm fine with what you did. Oh yeah, I'll be taking red.

For future references, I'd also like for your opinions on the evolution of magic.

The choices are :
Branch Evolutions - Gives each type of magic more types of evolutions, however, it limits the user to picking one path that gives one specific bonus. For example :
Fire Magic - The ability to manipulate fire
can turn into either
Infernal Magic - The ability to determine the strength of manipulated fire, gives statistical bonuses to damage by fire.
or
Flame Magic - The ability to summon fire from hand, gives statistical bonuses to handling fire.

Single Evolution - Limits the type of magic to one pathway of evolutions, however, it gives less of a bonus to that type. For example :
Fire Magic - The ability to manipulate fire
will only turn into
Blaze Magic - The ability to emit small fireballs from hand, power is determined by amount of mana used. Gives a minor statistical bonus to damage by fire and handling fire.

Here's how I use Statistical bonuses :
(I'll be using Fire Magic as an example)

Minor -
If you get a 1, you wouldn't swallow yourself in flames, but you'd be burned in certain areas.

Moderate (No prefix) -
If you get a 1, you wouldn't swallow yourself in flames, but there'd be fire on certain parts of you, but won't burn you.

Superior -
If you get a 1, you wouldn't swallow yourself in flames, but you'd absorb the flames for power.

I think Branch evolutions would be neat. Seems like the specialization would lead to more powerful magic than Single Evolution. Also, choices are always fun.

[Lyeos]

To be honest, the first option seems much more useful all around.

Edit: I guess kinda what GMA said, although, the question being is each evolution limited to which branch we chose, or are we then allowed to choose between upgrading that branch or gaining a new branch? Would allow versatility, but you would weaker in each area.

[GMArian]

I think we should be able to "evolve" into any branch we want without being limited to only one. For example, the more we use blaze magic-oriented fire magic, the more we learn about it. At the same time, the more we use infernal magic the more we learn about it. If we seem to be using both in combat, then why not evolve both types?

All in all, I'm for branching.

[Lytia]

It's not like I won't ALLOW you all to use your different types of magic. You're still able to summon fire even if you're using Infernal Magic. You just won't be mastered in it to evolve Flame Magic to it's next evolution nor will you get it's bonuses. I'm locking all knowledge of other branches when you choose one branch. It'll allow for you guys to choose one branch and focus on that branches abilities and bonuses. So, say you're in the 5th evolution of Infernal Magic, you'll only be able to see the information about Flame Magic until you find someone with an evolution of Flame Magic. Then, you'll be able to use what the evolution can do. It may seem like a rusty system, but I'll improve it in due time.

I justify it by being around for longer than recorded history.

*Views my front page status* Well shit. Time to get creative with my wording.

We'll get you a beard and staff, and you can stand in front of your boundaries shouting "You shall not pass!"

Be warned, Dermonster, it comes with a price. Being of an old age disables you from using high-tier magic unless you're willing to sacrifice your last bit of energy, your life.

Wait, what? How does being vastly more experienced in magic disallow me from casting the best stuff?

Oh.

You never actually explained what 'energy' was. What is that?

It's probably your "will" or a portion of your soul/mind,though said lost portion grows back.

[Dermonster]

I do not deal in probablies.

Though you'd think with literally ten thousand years to practice I'd get every things energy cost so streamlined, even with a crippled pool I'd be able to do some serious casting.

[NAV]

It should be possible to level up in multiple branches. Create less powerful but more versitile characters. In general, leveling up should always give the player a meaningful choice.

I'm fine with my echolocation magic, as long as I can upgrade it to actually controling sound later.

Basically what blazing glory said. You'll be able to cast "the best stuff", but it might be costly. Of course, you'll have better results when getting a bad roll when it comes to casting, but when consuming mana and/or using energy, bad rolls might result in you using up all your mana to cast one spell or using all your energy by walking a few feet.

I just finished the turn...but then my browser closed, somehow. I really don't want to re-write it because I liked what I wrote, so I'll just summarize it. This will be the only time this happens, sorry.

Search the apartment for anything useful, ie. storage devices, bandages, potential weapons.
