I use my mage ability of rememberance to figure out which color crystal empowered magic, and try to make a ring out of one of those crystals.

If <player-me> remembers wrong, and there was no crystal of magic-empowering-happiness, I'll just try to make a ring of regeneration.

Try to take a peek at that scroll, If I can't, Take some of the non-Degraded Armor that's left.

Also RNG, would trying to smelt Moloch's armor be any harder/less experience-granting than just trying to create flames for the purpose of creating flames? Also, purely out of curiosity, which of my three actions were you hoping would go through?


I thought Giga-Cannon would be kind of fun, though since you're not particularly skilled it probably would have just been Mana Cannon.

Yeah, there wasn't any magic-empowering stone. There was:

Deep Red/Purple - Regeneration
Bright, Sickly Green - Degeneration
Light Blue - Reflect
Bright Orange - Strength

Of course, there are a ton of different colors and shades of those colors that could be produced as well. Maybe you should ask Irony nicely to see if he will make you something.

Aw. Still, I should probably learn some sort of attack spell one of these days. :P

To be honest, the only thing keeping me from gleefully cutting everyone magic crystal jewelry is a harebrained scheme involving the orange crystal and Moloch's armorstuff. It wouldn't take much to get me churning out items from unidentified magic crystal.

Speaking of which, can we tell anything about the qualities of Moloch's armor? Can I tell whether it would make a good cutting weapon, for instance?

I would like an axe made out of the stuff if its anything like slade, but if it sucks as a bladed weapon a fuckheavy mace would do.

Action change:

I'll use my knowledge of elementalism to try to smelt some of the armor.

By the way, RNG, How comes the novel?

... You were writing a novelization of this RTD right? My memory is a bit spotty.

Would you like me to swap to carving baubles then?


EDIT: I assume a metallurgy check would take an action? Would it be a full action or could you roll it into, I don't know, smelting it down?

Yeah... It's on standby. I started it about a week before classes started, and I had a lot of free time. Now classes have started, and I have very little free time.

That's a shame, NaNoWriMo would have been perfect for it.

Go ahead and help for the xp or try to identify it, if you want. We can take the crystals with us (probably), but I see no easy way to take the armor with us as it is.

National Novel Writing Month. Someone basically decided it'd be cool for everyone to attempt to write a 50,000 word novel during the month of November, and the idea caught on to some extent.
