Land and impress the villagers with my air magic.
[1 + 1] You try and use your magic to preform some entertaining tricks, but then realize that your magic isn't really very impressive looking, what with it being practically invisible and all.
Listen to the old geezers while practicing covering my hands in fire
[4] You dry yourself off with a bit of magic, then find your way to the council hall the elders are waiting in. As the elders ramble on about nothing you practice your magic a bit, managing to light your hands on fire without burning them. Next time you get in a fight your can Falcon Punch them into oblivion!
(2/8 exp. for fire mage)
Try to mend my nose by calling upon the earth magicks in my flail.
[1] You decide to see if your flail can be used to heal yourself... though in hindsight hitting yourself in the face might not have been the best idea. You are unconscious.
BIND THE FLYING DUTCHMAN TO MY WILL!!!with dark magic of course...
[6] You turn toward the fog, still hovering over the island, and attempt to control it through sheer force of will(and dark magic of course)! Unfortunately, you dd a little too well, breaking the enchantments that had bound it previously. You now control the flying dutchman, but his physical form has crumbled, and his ship rotted away.
(you can now summon the dutchman to terrify any living being, but it cannot fight)
dark magic (2/8 exp)
strengthen water element
[4] By giving your elemental a small fraction of your powers your are able to give it a new ability. Now it can cause it's fists to freeze solid in battle, producing a much stronger punch.
water elemental no longer has -1 to attack!
I SHOOT LASERS FROM MY EYES!
[4] YOU SHOOT LASERS FROM YOUR EYES! Laser: a beam of concentrated light that fades very slowly with distance due to all photons being in phase. In other words, you can use you eyes as flashlights/laser sights.
laser vision gained (+1 to hit, can choose to see in the dark, but will auto-fail all stealth rolls while doing so)
Rash finally stops messing around and pays attention as the elders get to something important.
"We have heard your group possesses miraculous magical powers, and believe you might be able to help us. Far to the north, at the source of the river, something has gone wrong with our water supply. More and more fish are found dead, and we will soon run out of food unless something is done. We would like you to go and destroy whatever is polluting our water supply."
(On a side note, this entire world is nothing but this river, there are islands and things in it, and it is larger than some seas on earth, but there is no river bank, or anything outside of it.)
