Yes, mages should be able to spend 2 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1.

Yes, mages should be able to spend 3 mana to increase their spell's Zap roll by 1, but doing this provokes a Luck roll: on a roll of 2 or less, the spell loses one Awk.

No, this is a very bad idea.

No, this is a somewhat bad idea, I have my own ideas. (Post in thread).

[FallacyofUrist]

Poke, poke, NAV and Beirus.

[Beirus]

I'm gonna let NAV go first, since I know he's waiting on me so he can do cancel target spell. Now he knows I know, and I know he knows I know, so he can go first.

[conein]

Can you make other Arenas so that more people can fight? How is it gonna work in the actual game?

[NAV]

Grumble grumble. Beard flail Beirus.

In the actual game... I dunno. Either all will compete at once (still 1v1) or I'll do one round at a time. I'll make a poll after sample round 2. I hope.

[Beirus]

Dodge, then Transform Self into Apex Dragon

(He's just going to cancel your spell while you're a dragon. If you manage to become a dragon.
Or if he manages to cast the spell...)

Sample Round 2!

Sample Turn 1: Literal Apex Dragon, Beard Powa

INIT:
Drake(3+2=5)
Mage(4)

Drake is the first to move, casting his incredibly expensive but still manageable spell.

Zap(2+2=4)
Awk(1+2=3)

Well... that could have gone better... (now a frost dragon twice the size of a man, named Apex, for the next turn)

Mage looks at the newly formed frost dragon, then attacks.

Zap(4+1=5)
Awk(2+2=4)

It's not much more powerful than Drake's spell, but a large mass of beard hair erupted from Mage's hand, bound to it by a metal chain, then swings off towards Drake.

(6vs.1+2) (1+2=3vs.5) Drake grabs the Flail with his maw and yanks it. Hard. (5vs.1 crikey) Mage flies off through the air, landing prone at Drake's feet. (5) He is surprisingly unharmed by the ordeal.

Random Event(6)
Something falls through the air, landing in mid-air, right above the center of the arena. DJ Ecco is in the Arena for the next (3) turns. You don't think he's hostile... mostly.
