Attempt to imbue another dagger with mana bolt, aiming to let be strengthened and to let it fire a pulse of energy.

Force myself to enter the building with Stone spirit in tow. We are both walking cautiously.
Query the Stone spirit of its magical knowledge, or what spells it knows. See if it can teach me some earthen magic too.


Shadow men: A man proficient in dark arts, enveloped in a shadow form and that has summoned a mirror image of him/herself. The image itself is incorporeal and will follow the movements of its master. No damage can hurt the image but you can disturb it or even dispel the mirror image by attacking the master.

The shadows: One if fake, one is real. The second is some sort of physical illusion that copies anything the first does.

The shadows are apparitions that exist in two places at once(?!)


Yeah, I'm not gonna get it.

So one person is entering, and the rest of you guys are sitting outside?

huh hopes it's the old me's soul dagger screwing up the place, that'd be neat.
Shadow mechanics:Both shadows act in unison until one is inturrupted, the one that causes the interruption continues to exist, while the other vanishes?
Apply holy gel to my wounded arm, blessing the flesh.
i thinking this may do nothing, blow my arm off, or give me a holy arm, with which I could punch demons with and shatter their souls via FALC..... HOLY PUNCH!

I'm enjoying it, despite the pace.

My guess is that half of the shadows were incorporeal copies, destroyed/damaged by their twins being attacked, but otherwise not damageable by standard means. It seems to me to be the most logical reason why my skeleton couldn't harm its first target, but killed the second.

Question on spell levels: At what points to quantities for basic summoning spells increase? I assume that at legendary alchemist and summoner I'd be able to create several lesser healing potions in one turn.

I cast Summon Skeleton, then enter the imposing structure.

Mechanics: They act in unison, each acting symmetrically with its twin, but once one is destroyed, its twin is also destroyed.

I heal Kilakan and order my golem to add any corpses it finds to itself. Those hellhounds if they're still nearby, or maybe that food.

summon sandvich. Eat sandvich.

Mechanics: Half of them are real. The other half are invincible/fake/shadows.

That's 6. Need two more.

For the shadows, there was one 'master' shadow and one 'mirror' shadow. The mirror shadow mirrored whatever the master did, but was only an illusion and couldn't really effect anything. They key here though is the master shadow can swap places with it's mirror at any time, as long as it is physically possible to do so. This is why when first attacking one it always had no effect, but if you attacked it while something was happening to it's mirror(from the mirror shadow being under attack by something else, or was just filled with food) it couldn't switch, and had to take the attack. That's also why when KineseN hit one with Spire, it's mirror disappeared; the mirror shadow couldn't exist inside of the spire, so the master shadow was forced to take it's place and the mirror, being unable to exist, vanished.

Several of you were on the right track, but nobody really got it. To be fair, the battle wasn't that long, but I've given out quite a few bonus points for just guessing, and more for being closer to being correct.

Is there a Controller command? It'd be annoying to work with the flesh golem for years and still have him ignore me and scratch his balls half the time.
