You have a problem with me being an epi-center?

NOT IF I'M IN THE AIR AT THE TIME, NO. OTHERWISE, YES.  YES I DO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU BEING THE EPICENTER.  Actually, it depends on the severity of the quake.

After equipping my ring on my right index finger, I continue studying Magical Theory.

2: You slip on the ring and decide to stare admiringly at it for a while.

Look around for a class or lecture (on summoning, of course) I can attend -- perhaps a tutor who I can pay to teach me.
5: You decide to look around for a tutor, and one of the more advanced students offers help for 10 silver. He is very knowledgeable, and you quickly learn most of the basic concepts. The speed you learn at impresses him, and though actual conjuration spells are very advanced, he tries to teach you one anyway. Several hours later you walk out of the academy popping simple items into mid-air.

+6 to Summoning
+3 to Summoning
New Spell: Conjure Minor Item


Help Chris gather up the goods so we can finally get moving, also get my kit back from him.
2: You stub your toe on a piece of rubble and hop around for a while saying "Ow, Ow, Ow"

ORGANIZE GOODS W/ KILIKAN
4: You pack up most of the items into the few intact crates and prepare to set off.

No, that 3 is not a typo. That's the tutoring bonus. Pay for lessons, get rewards.

Do healing potions have a high chance of success when drunk? It seems a bit wasteful otherwise.

I study history books for mention of non-evil methods of gaining immortality.

Yes. Because potions/runes/enchantments are created beforehand, activating them all counts as a simple action.

Attempt to create a magical platform from rocks, that we can put the crates on and will fly beside us, and carry them.

It's okay, nobody died this time.  I think the official thing is if you help somebody with their action, whichever roll was highest is used.  Although I didn't specify I wanted to help Kilikan and he didn't specify he wanted to help me, so whatever.  What you did was right.

So, can I choose what to conjure, or is it random? What draws the line between 'minor' item and 'major' item?

I'll start simple, I suppose. I'll try to conjure a flask, for starters.

I study history books for mention of non-evil methods of gaining immortality.
6: You head the the library and grab some history books. Paging though them, you find...

...Saint Mayyek was transformed into an Angel for pious servitude to his god...

...An obscure reference to the Elixir of Life...

...Elder Naemed could alter the aging process...

...However, there are no references on how to achieve immortality. It seems the secrets are closely guarded by all who learn them.
Attempt to create a magical platform from rocks, that we can put the crates on and will fly beside us, and carry them.
3+1=4: You lift a slab of rock from the ground and have it hover in mid-air while Z. Chris loads up the crates.
+3 to Elementalism
HELP KILIKAN MOVE CRATES OUTSIDE.
4: You load the crates onto the cart.

I'll try to conjure a flask, for starters.

1:  As you begin to summon energy, you tap into some other plane... a surge of extraplanar energy courses through you!m Luck 6: You are able to resist the deadly shock!

(To answer your question, minor items are generally generic tools; flasks, lockpicks, instruments, food, water, etc. All items can be dispelled, and it's not hard to detect conjured items. Therefore, summoning currency, or selling items with the intent to sell, is usually a fruitless endeavor and is frowned upon. )

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

Conjure Minor Item + Rune of Combustion = FUN!

Elixer of Life? Bah, sounds useless. I shall take my chances with binding my character's soul into a rock in the basement of his wizard's tower, thank you.

Rune of Finesse + Rune of Flames + Rune of Energy + Rapier = ? I must find out via empirical evidence. Okay, so I just want a weapon so I can kill something. Incidentally, are the workings of my magic healing ring a secret until I find them out myself? Mostly, I want to know if I'll have to risk another heal spell on my hand. That tends to turn out poorly for me.

Well, if at first you don't succeed...

Eh. I'll try summoning a slice of bread. Nothing bad could possibly happen.
