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).

[conein]

You know, i thought that when i called my spell "Confused enemy's mind" and made it cost more it would not have confused me. Yeah i rolled a one once again, but i shouldn't have rolled for luck anyways. At least i think. Well i'm ded anyways.

dance.

[XXXXYYYY]

Drive the spear up, into those fleshy innerbits. Grab a drink, and drink it if safe.

[Whisperling]

Make the golem pick up a choice weapon (two, if it could feasibly dual wield full size weapons), and walk to the side of the magma pit/booze pile. If it still has time to do anything after that, have it kick a few bottles over to Mizlan.

((Eh. Originally, you got a 5 on your Awk roll and it worked perfectly, causing Ejiro to self-target his attacks- failing to harm him whatsoever. Then I realized I forgot to roll your willpower to resist the lung damage. You got a 2, meaning Awk loss(seemed- oh wait I forgot to count another dodge penalty.)))

Turn Three: Die Already

Harvey(45+10=55)
Mizlan(42)

Harvey(1) picks up an adamantine warhammer. Maybe not the best weapon for him, for obvious reasons. (adamantine warhammer, -1 to hit, -2 to damage, rather durable).
Zap(3)
Awk(4+3=7)
Luck(5)

A magic burst flew forth from Harvey's wand and latched onto the grate. A low rumble started, then the grate began to slide out of the magma and slowly advance towards Harvey. (will arrive next turn).

Mizlan telepathically grumbled, ordering his golem to arm itself and get some bottles of booze for Mizlan.
Weapons(5) Two masterwork adamantine axes are promptly equipped and dual-wielded. (+1 to damage, rather durable, high quality) The golem promptly walked to the side of the magma pit and walked after the grate, trying to get some alcohol bottles for Mizlan. (4-2=2vs.3) Unfortunately the golem was walking too slowly to get any of the bottles. On the plus side, it's moving towards Harvey now.

Something Luck(3)
"Power, yes, your desire I see... power takes many forms, many twists and many turns... for the moment, take, receive your requirement... but know this, it shall not last, and it shall cut against you just as easily as your foe..." (Spell gained: Explosive Shield(2 Mana Cost), next two turns...)

Random Event(6) "Yes! Action! Let's help them along!" Magic energy courses through the dueling mages, restoring their mana.

[Sl4cker]

"I don't know what any of this means!"

Cast explosive shield.

[Whisperling]

Mizlan summons another monster, and orders the golem to catch up and slide him some booze bottles. If at any point Harvey or the booze pile is behind an explosive shield, have it get out of the blast radius and throw something at the shield. (In order of preference: a third adamantine weapon, a stone, or glass shards from the booze pile's movement.)

Turn Ten: Conein Is More Hardcore Than Ejiro Ever Was

INIT:
Ejiro(40-10=30)
Conein(49+10=59)
Rappier(58+10=68)

Rappier's flow suffuses the area... "Time to shake, time to break, know this now mages friend or foe, death high death low, infinite domain spliced to magic and flame, my hands make my flow break and my power I shall not forsake." Flow(1) Rappier facepalms as his Flow fails to increase by a significant degree.

Conein dances to the newly made rhythm. Luck(3) It's not making his wounds worse, at least. Will(4-2=2) Then he spasms to the floor. Groovy.

Ejiro sends his spear into Conein's fleshy innerbits. (5-1=4vs.6+1-1-1-2=3) Impact. (3+1-1=3vs.4-2=2) Ejiro Crit(6) Ejiro literally impales Conein. Conein Luck(3) There go his intestines. Will(4-2=2) Conein looks at Ejiro with hatred in his eyes, but fails to act in any meaningful manner. He promptly goes unconscious(-1 to dodge, no action unless really good will roll) (being impaled, -1 to all damage resistance rolls, -2 to dodge, there go your intestines). Ejiro bends down, next to Conein, picking up a bottle. (2) It's empty.

Conein dodge(6+1-1-1-2-1-2=0) Conein is promptly bombarded by fiery spheres. Tougha(6-2(chest)=4) Conein just ignores the large burns appearing all over his body.

Random Event(5)

Maybe I should just end this match... Conein's effectively dead anyway...

Yeah, that's probably a good idea.

[FallacyofUrist]

Meanwhile, Turn Four: Combat

INIT:
Harvey(53+10=63)
Mizlan(15)

As the alcohol covered grate arrives at Harvey's position, he sees the golem advancing on him and begins to panic, tapping into his newfound power to cast a new spell.
Zap(6)
Awk(4+3=7)

A blueish barrier forms in front of Harvey, anchored to his position, protecting him from harm, yet ready to explode in a heartbeat. (Explosive shield, +2 to damage resist, explodes on a failed damage resist roll(damage 6), next three turns)

Mizlan blorbles out more commands to his golem. It obeys(5), somehow thwacking an adamantine spear towards Harvey by kicking it, then walking back away from Harvey. (5vs.1+1=2) (2vs.3+2=5) The spear impacts onto what would have been Harvey's heart if there wasn't a shield in the way. Harvey trembles with fear, suddenly very happy for his shield.

Mizlan's magic flows from his body as he attempts to summon another monstrous minion.
Zap(4)
Awk(5+2=7)
Luck(3)

Only a yeti? What a pity. But at least it fights. (Yeti minion, hears commands via telepathy, Stronga 2, Tougha 2, Quicka 1, frost breath).

Random Event(3)
Mizlan should probably get out of the water sphere now.

[FallacyofUrist]

((Okay... missing actions. Also, I'd like to note that the only reason there isn't a tie in the poll is because I placed my vote- I'm not sure where to go with Overcharge at the moment. So, Conein and XXXXYYYY. I think we can anticipate what's going to happen, but I'd still like some actions.))

[Sl4cker]

Use 'Remove Targeted Object' on the golem's head.

[conein]

cast confuse mind once again.

[XXXXYYYY]

Smash bottle into wounds, retrieve new bottle. If there is safe alcohol in it, drink and cast my spell.

[FallacyofUrist]

Turn Eleven: Just Die Already!

INIT:
Ejiro(53-10=43)
Conein(14+10=24)
Rappier(8+10=18)

Ejiro grins, eying flaming spheres engulfing Conein. (Dodge: 1+1-1-1-2-1-2-1=-6) (-8 malus to dodge... what can I say?) Tougha(4) Conein receives more burns, although mundane compared to the rest of his injuries(-2 to will this turn.)
Ejiro grabs his bottle and smashes it into Conein's wounds! (2vs.2+1-8=-5) (5-1=4vs.2-2=0) Ejiro Crit(2) Bash! Agh! (-1 turns to live) (3) New bottle obtained. It appears to be full of powdered alcohol. (may or may not be good to consume)

Conein first must deal with pain, then wake up... Will(5-2=3) The pain deepens...(-1 to dodge, next turn) Will(6-2=4) Conein's eyes open slightly... then he breaks out the magic.
Zap(1+2-1=2)
Awk(4-1+1=4)

Conein's spell fizzles(understandably). Much too weak to do anything...

Rappier decides to intervene. Target(2, Ejiro)

Beat(5+2=7)
Rhythm(5+2=7)
Luck(4)

A burst of sound, beautiful sound, is fired at Ejiro, somehow flaming yet always shocking. (1+2=3vs.1-1=0) (7vs.3+2=5) Ejiro is battered by a nearly unseen attack, knocked to the ground, releasing his spear, but still pretty much unharmed. (lying prone, not holding spear)

Random Event(1) A gigantic drumbeat plays across the ground, shaking everything up! (-2 to dodge, everybody, next turn)
