Does it seem like I have been neglecting this? Sorry, I probably have. Unfortunately, you can expect more of that in the future, with college starting up. I already find myself with little time to just sit on the forums like I used to, and classes haven't even started. I'll try to update at least once a week though, hopefully more.
Thanks for the scroll. We should probably do something about the wizard or something. I don't think he's completely hostile.
I use the scroll on myself, then strengthen my link with Cheddarius' soul, in an attempt to both stabilize it and glean some of its healing magic abilities.
I'll yell and politely ask the wizard if he would be so kind as to reveal himself.
You try to use the magic contained in the scroll to remove your plague. (6) You go overboard with it, but since there is only a limited amount of magic in the scroll, you can't really screw up the spell by pouring too much power into it. (Luck 2+1) The magic expunges part of the plague from your body, turning the plague into a normal disease that is much less dangerous.
You then try to link your soul with Cheddarius. (6+3) You instantly bond with his soul. (Luck 6) In fact, you probably bonded a little too well; instead of stabilizing his soul and using some of his powers, it seems that you have actually absorbed his soul into your own. On the bright side, you know have access to a portion of his healing magic. On the dim side, there is now no chance at all of resurrecting him. (Luck 6) You suddenly panic, realizing that you have now crossed the line between binding souls to something like a corpse to utilize them, and consuming them entirely like the demons do.

New Spell: HastenI better do something about GS.
I attempt to draw out the Stone Spirit from GS. The Stone Spirit within GS tries to escape its cumbersome meat prison.
It is only fun for so long.
You attempt to extract your stone spirit. (2+3) You pull the spirit from the golem, (Luck 2+1) which seems to disorient the spirit.
+2 to ElementalismAttempt to manifest a sword of pure force that can obey my will.
You try to refine your force stick into a force sword. (2+1) You create a force that can cut in a way, but it's a long cry from being a sword. (Luck 6) You do manage to refine this into a new spell that can probably be useful.

New Spell: Force Slash Minor: Equip staff, unequip dagger. Activate frost armor.
Major: Make giant icicles stick out from frost armor. IM LIKE SHELLDER.
You try to surround yourself with ice (1+1) but only end up encasing yourself in ice again. (Luck 6) Your familiarity with your situation allows you to keep your cool and thaw yourself out.
Wake up and work on a potion comprised of sharp root, allura, black lotus, and water, then bless then entire mix with the holy symbol and a prayer. Have the potions intent to permanently sharpen and harden the blade of a weapon such that it would not be worn from striking armor and being damage from fighting demons, possible permanent poison effect if possible.
You go to work on making another potion. (3+4) You mix several ingredients together to try and make a demon bane. (Luck 4) You create a magical potion that should be able to be absorbed into any weapon, creating a powerful weapon against demons. Knowing the rarity of the ingredients, you find it unlikely that you will be able to make a similar potion any time soon; it would be best to chose wisely, or even decide to save the potion for later when a more powerful weapon is found.
You also feel the last of your euphoria-induced mental clarity slip away from you, though you still retain some knowledge of what you learned.
