Practice a lightning shield type spell.
[1+1] You attempt to form a shield of lightning, but can't seem to find a way to make it tangible. It seems that with lightning, the best defense is a good offense.
Grab the awesomest looking weapon.
[5] Looking around you see a vast array of weapons, of all shapes and sizes. You select one that looks the most deadly and allow the others to vanish. Your new weapon vaguely resembles a sword, but when swung, the "blade" flies forward in an ark before returning to you. Also, it menaces with spikes, lots of spikes.
fire "sword" obtained(ranged attack, +2 to damage, -1 to accuracy)
I ask around town to see if they need any other assistance.
[1] Actually, yes, they do. As the entire town is suspended above a giant river and, well... how would you like to swab the decks?
fl around and practice dark magic
[6] You decide to try out your new wings and fly around the town for a while. After a while you begin to get bored, so you start sending bolts of dark magic into the town at random. collateral:[5] Uh... well... I'm sure no one's gonna notice that missing house, or the giant hole in the magic academy, and who really cares about that statue of their founder? Right?
The dutchman has returned! It tells you that the portals within the cave led to the other elemental planes, they were most likely used by the monsters to communicate with their other forces.
Your quest
was to travel all of the elemental realms, and besides, there appears to be a mob forming...
dark magic(8/16 exp.)
use all the water here to strengthen my water elemental
[2+1] You begin the process of making your elemental larger, trying to make it absorb more water from it's surroundings. It does grow a bit, but it seems that it doesn't possess enough power to control a body much larger than the one it has, and any additional water just falls off.
Write down various spells on a bunch of scrolls and hand them out to my allies.
[5] You grab your spellbooks, select one spell from each and start writing.
transformation[3] 1 scroll of "minor transformation"(changes one object into a similar object of similar size, like changing one type of bird into another)
summoning:[6] 3 scrolls of "summon demon". You do not scribe three scrolls of "control demon"
elements:[6] 3 scrolls of "earthquake"(knocks over and damages anything on the ground)
cooking:[3] 1 scroll of "cooking"(cooks raw food instantly)
beasts:[5] 2 scrolls of "tame animal"(tames any non-magical, non-sentient creature)
enchantments:[5] 2 scrolls of "glorious chainsaw method"(I just re-read 8-bit theater)
scroll scribe(no epic fails)
