The Unepic Spellcrafter (A silly ISG)
« on: January 13, 2015, 06:45:21 pm »

Today is a great day. The best day. Today is the last day of your five-year magical apprenticeship. Just a few short hours from now, you will be a true mage. Free to discover new magic, make your own spells, and generally be a pest to the non-magic sorts.

...

You find you've forgotten your own name ... and your race. After three seconds of thought, you can't immediately remember what you've spent the last five years studying. Hopefully your master won't have a test for you.

You are a:
Elf - You are the superior race, with superior magic skills. Everyone loves magically superior races.
Kobold - You can sneak really well and charm people non-magically. You're a bit short.
Harpy - You can fly while casting, but not very efficiently. You have trouble with doorknobs.
Dwarf - You have an innate stone-sense and are unusually hardy. Bartenders don't trust you with a tab.
Imp - You aren't a native to this plane. It is very difficult to kill you for good, although you can be trapped and/or converted.
Other - There are many races in the realm. (You're pretty sure that you're alive, organic, and not difficult to draw.)

Your name is:
(You're pretty sure you're a male.)

What have been primarily studying to become
(Pick a two or three word theme for your initial spells. Examples are: Magma duelist, elemental summoner, death-ray spewing army-killer, and beneficial alchemist.)

You might have forgotten something else important. It's hard to be sure.

((One character only. This is inspired by the Magicmaker game. It probably won't last very long.))

We are a Kitsune, after some pondering, we realize our name is Aki, we aren't actually sure which gender we are, we haven't checked recently. We are studying to be an Illusionist-Diplomancer with a small dabbling in necromancy. We probably should check what our gender is but we're sorta lazy.

Your name is: Urist McMagmarules

You are a Dwarf.

You have been studying to become a magma duelist while doing some minor research into necromancy.

Locked-in.

We're not sure which gender we are, since we haven't checked recently, huh? While studying under someone able to train an Illusionist-Diplomancer?

Well then.

I think that we have a sufficiently silly character.

Other way around. Don't say that, though. I can think of plenty of ways to make something sillier than whatever it is this character is.

That's right, you remember now! You are Aki the Kitsune, soon-to-be Illusionist-Diplomancer.


You change into your best kimono and head downstairs from your bedchamber, when you fall victim to a fairy ambush.


Fairy: "Aki! You're finally up! I'm so excited for you! You're finally done being a mere apprentice and ready to be a full mage! It took you long enough, but now you're done! Yay Aki! Yaaay!"

Aki: "Yes, Mistress Glimmerwing, I am ready for anything the world can throw at me!"

Fairy: "Great! Now take your training spell slots, for keeps this time. They're still slotted with your practice spells, Foxfire Fakeout and Mind Drain."


Slot 1 is a three-component combo. Slot 2 has three components split up. Comboed components tend to work as one ... Ah, for example, fire=summon_slime would create a flaming slime. Fire/summon_slime would hit the target with fire, then summon a slime.
Foxfire fakeout is a combo of Foxfire=Illusion=Combo. It throws a cluster of shots, most of which are visual illusions, making it inaccurate but hard to dodge.
Mind drain is charm/communicate/life_drain. It makes the target see me as a friend for a short time, (depending on how much of a strain I put on that friendship), lets things that don't understand English understand you (one-way only, sadly), and uses some of the target's life force for healing. Somehow, that doesn't count as a strain on the magical friendship.

Fairy: Now for your final test! I have a crystal hairbrush in my dungeon. Get it back for me, 'kay?

Aki: A crystal hairbrush? Really?

Fairy: ... And I'm putting a compulsion on you to eat slimes ... Ugh, no, that's gross. You'll just have to collect every drop of defeated slimes.


Fairy: Any last questions before you get started?
