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.

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]

Thank you thank you thank you. You are accepted.

[FallacyofUrist]

John Smith never existed. Avery is confused.

Meanwhile...

12 mages of various specialties and power levels walk into a lobby. A tall man wielding an odd sword walks into the room from a different door.

"Okay. Here's how the thingamajigs in the tournament work. You may notice we have 12 players. That factors down to 2x2x3. Thus... the players will compete in a two person duel each. Then another, and after that we will have a 3-person finale! Now let's find our first two contestants!... er... I'm going to need a list of the mages first. Excuse me."
Mizlan comes forward and hands Null a piece of paper. "Oh, this helps, thank you." Conein follows up. "Much appreciated." Then comes Harvey. "Very convenient, thank you."

Here be wizards.

[H4zardZ1]

What i must do

[conein]

What i must do

Find your wizard's charsheet and quote it here to make gm life brighter

[FallacyofUrist]

It certainly aids my list construction. I can do without, but this aid means the game can start much sooner.

[Hiddenleafguy]

Avery casts throw orb of random effect, jumping to the right (my right not yours) as he does so as he expects an attack.

[Sl4cker]

Ah, our Archmage seems to be a appropriately adept alliteration acolyte. Amazingly altruistic.

[FallacyofUrist]

The spell hits the shopkeeper. John Smith is nowhere to be found. The shopkeeper is not amused.

[Sl4cker]

((Ah, the games are starting? I have to go for a while after around half an hour. Let's pretend Harvey is trying to hide behind something until I get back.))
Harvey starts to panic and jumps behind... somewhere behind cover, shouting about someone named 'Hold'emmort' and 'Donald Easily'.

[FallacyofUrist]

((Don't worry. It won't be an issue unless you're extremely unlucky. But yeah, I have somewhere to go to soon also. After an hour or so.))

[conein]

Meanwhile attempt to entartain (i cant english) people with funny jokes

[Tomasque]

I look around for some npc that I recognize.
