Wave to the guy on the other side, point my hands on him, shout "It's for SCIENCE, no hard feelings MAN!" then open the book and say the WORDS.

Turn 1

Thrakor looks around.  Why does this seem familiar?

"I think we're in one of THOSE again."

Why not start with some SCIENCE?
[POT:4,1,2=0 successes vs DC:4. All words dropped. Fizzle.]

Nothing happened. Looks like the spell fizzled.

[POT:6,4,2=3 successes vs DC:5. Dropping cheaper word. Success.]

You manage to summon a small metal cube. Looks like some sort of... magnet, perhaps? It falls to the ground.

[POT:3,6,4=3 successes vs DC:3. Success.]

A stream of transparent balls flows through the air in the direction of the tree you were looking at. They all fade out of existence before they can hit it though.

All of this doesn't appear useful to you, but hey, SCIENCE!

Looks like the other guy went somewhere while you were experimenting.

You begin your SCIENCE! while walking to the southern passage.

[POT:6=2 successes vs DC:2. Success.]

The air in front of you ignites in a ball of fire, and quickly goes out. Luckily it didn't set the trees on fire.

Spoiler: Wall of failure (click to show/hide)

Oh, you went through the hallway already! Looks like an ordinary cave. There's also a giant hole here. Yeah, you ain't walking closer to it. Can't even see the bottom.
Wave to the guy on the other side, point my hands on him, shout "It's for SCIENCE, no hard feelings MAN!" then open the book and say the WORDS.
"U ah no be a gut goy! Ey keel yu!"
Say the words! And, no, bird is not the word.
Simon loudly exclaims that he's willing to sacrifice the life of a fellow human, as he raises his hands in albinos direction and starts casting spells. Stanislauss voices his disapproval and, like the acne-ridden teen, speaks the arcane words.

[Simon POT:2=0 successes vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

Nothing happened.

[Simon POT:1,3=-1 success vs DC:1. Failure.]

Nothing happened again!

[Simon POT:1,4=0 successes vs DC:1. Fizzle.]

Again? This book is a fraud.

[Simon POT:6=2 successes vs DC:1. Success. Re-rolling dice. POT:5=1 additional success. Total: 3vs1]

You summon a respectable amount of yellow crystals that fall on the ground and break apart into dust. How is some yellow dust going to help you in this place? It smells pretty bad too.

[Stanislauss POT:3=0 successes vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

Looks like your spell fizzled.

[Stanislauss POT:6=2 successes vs DC:3. Fizzle.]

This one too.

[Stanislauss POT:6=2 successes vs DC:1. Success. Re-rolling dice. POT:3=0 additional successes.]

You feel air moving in some direction. You can't see where though.

[Stanislauss POT:2=0 successes vs DC:1. Fizzle.]

Another fizzle.

[Stanislauss POT:4=1 success vs DC:1. Success.]

A transparent bat appears in the air, flying around for a while, but ultimately it fades out of existence.

[Stanislauss POT:5=1 success vs DC:5. Fizzle.]

This spell fizzles as well.
Yay for SCIENCE!
Magic!
Hregar raises his left hand and points at Beirus, who appears to be lost in thought.

[Beirus SPD:4+1=5]
[Hregar SPD:5+1=6]

[Hregar POT:5,3,1,1,1,3=-2 successes vs DC:4. Failure.]
[Hregar END:4+1=5]

You cast your spell. Looks like nothing happened though. Wait! You feel that something is happening after all! The thing you feel is, in fact, two of your fingers on the left hand turning into a colorless liquid. Said liquid quickly falls onto the ground. You aren't fazed by the pain at all, and find the bleeding a minor inconvenience.

[Bleeding]

[Beirus POT:1,3,4,1,2,4=0 successes vs DC:12. All words dropped. Fizzle.]

You concentrate on the other guy and... nothing happened, it seems.
"You!"
Perplexiglass?
Real!Derm quickly begins experimenting, while Fake!Derm lies down on the ground for some reason.

[Real!Derm POT:5=1 success vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

Nothing happened.

[Real!Derm POT:1=-1 success vs DC:3. Failure.]

Once again, nothing.

[Real!Derm POT:2=0 successes vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

And again.

[Real!Derm POT:4=1 success vs DC:2. Fizzle.]

Again!

[Real!Derm POT:3=0 successes vs DC:3. Fizzle.]

Another fizzle!

[Real!Derm POT:1=-1 successes vs DC:3. Failure.]

This magic thing doesn't seem to be working out for you.

[Fake!Derm POT:5,3,5,5,1,1,5,5,1,3=2 successes vs DC:48. All words dropped. Fizzle.]

You lie on your back and say your words, filling them with your mighty reserves of magical energy. Absolutely nothing happens. Damn.

GM Note
Do remember to clearly state how much pool you are committing to your words.

Also, do point out any errors I might've made.

EDIT: Fixed a horrible mistake. It didn't change anything. Which is actually really good.

Sorry Derm. I can't change the mechanics to the older version now that we've begun. Not to mention I didn't do much research on the older version.

"Huh... interesting."

Stuff my left hand into my right armpit, glare at Beirus and say words.
