Summon a small freeze aura around me and go smack some efl skulls, and TELL everyone to not get close to me or they wil get frozen

You can't do that. I haven't explained magic that well yet, so I'm just going to tell you now that you don't know how to do anything with ice except attack things, and doing that will use your main action for the turn.

RIGHT THEN.
THE HEATHANS SHALL PAY!
Cast a delayed action healing spell around myself.
LEEEROY JEEEENKIIINS!!!

The same applies here. Further learning is necessary before you can use fancy things like delayed healing spells. I'll make a more detailed post on this soon. Sorry if I sound all strict, but I made a magic system that I really like so I'm going to be a little strict with it.

hrm, not to spoil the fun, but should everyone still have mp without my magic fountian leggings? I thought that was the source of the original mp

Oh. The thing I was trying to get at with that whole thing was that your leggings, being the first magical item any of you had ever been near, made you realize that you had MP and could do things with it.

Small question... How do we determine what is considered short or long ranged?

Uh, long ranged is going to be things that you couldn't reach with melee. So say some elves started attacking you from the top of the fortress, or from across a chasm. That would be long ranged.

So I can't launch a fireball? Cause, if I can't,

Use fire magic to light SHADOWdump's arrows.

Disappear into the trees like some sort of hyper active ninja, then jump from branch to branch throwing knifes at the elves.

You can throw fireballs but you can't do things like light arrows and stuff.

Add a ice attack to my hamemr strikes!
And you can't do this either. But you can launch ice at people.

as a suggestion, change the name of the books from the merchant to be more specific, make it 'fireball book' and 'icestrike book', maybe even 'Restore Health book'. Might help lessen confusion.

Turn 12
Location: Outside Duckduck the Duck of Ducks

Gah, I'll handle more of this magic stuff later. I'm just going to reinterperet your actions to fit the system until I can get a better explaination of it up.

Currently I'm not deducting MP on failed spellcasting attempts, but that might change eventually.

Fine, fine.
Throw fireballs at archers.
2-1. You try to conjure some magic, but you have difficulty doing it in an actual combat situation. While focusing (4) you barely look up in time to see Elf 1's arrow flying at your face, which you dodge.

Disappear into the trees like some sort of hyper active ninja, then jump from branch to branch throwing knifes at the elves.
3-1, 2. You leap into some trees and then throw a knife at one of the elves, but it hits his wooden armor and bounces off harmlessly.

RIGHT THEN.
THE HEATHANS SHALL PAY!
LEEEROY JEEEENKIIINS!!!
3+1, 5+2. The practically laugh at the group's inability to kill them, so you prove them wrong by running into the tree-huggers and screaming at the top of your lungs, slashing Elf 3 in half, killing him instantly but destroying his wooden armor.

Bow>Arrow>Elf's Face
Aiming at one of the armored ones.

1+1. You fire an arrow at Elf 2, but it flies past his head.

Add a ice attack to my hamemr strikes!
6, 1+1. You unleash a blast of frost at some of the elves, but you don't aim it very well and they're barely scratched by it.

Quote from: Elf 1
Finish off that little spellcaster dude
2. The elf fires another arrow at Ryan but misses once again, cursing.

Quote from: Elf 2
Bow > Arrow > Human's face
That bowed guy that shot at me looks like a good target.
4, 2+1. Elf 2 fires an arrow at SHAD0Wdump and hits him in the leg, dealing 3 damage.

Quote from: Elf 4
That dude with the maul.
1+1. The elf shoots an arrow that zooms past Luke_Prowler.

Quote from: Elf 5
All sorts of powerful earth magic.
1. Elf 5 starts chanting and (6+1) quickly realizes dermonster is charging at him, so he leaps up and (6, 3+1) blasts a boulder at dermonster, dealing 3 damage.

Time to upgrade...
I toss aside my shortbow and grab the longbow, then pull out the arrow in my leg and shoot it back at Elf 2.

Farewell my old weapon.
