Turn 20: Reverse Flame Shot, Multiple Hits!Since we've got this awesom healing mist, I read my book and cast a random fire spell in a random direction away from anyone else.
[1][Luck 1] You cast Split Flame directly at everyone else, including yourself, by somehow inverting the spell while facing the opposite direction. Spread [6]. The fact that you're between the origin and the targets does nothing.
Minor fire damage dealt to all allies except Seymore and Nathan and self. Most now Lightly Wounded.+1 DestructionFiggure a way to quickly cast spells in the middle of attacking, specifically a small crystal swarm
[4+1][Luck 2] You masterfully conjure a flurry of crystals mid-attack, but the aim is terrible, and you're not sure how useful it'd be in combat.
+2 SummoningI carve a rune of weeping water on the gold coin. I then try to carve a rune of power on the other side.
Rune [2+1][Luck 5], Water [1+1][Luck 3]. You carve the correct rune on one side of the coin, taking advantage of its own decorations to supplement it, but it isn't quite correct to trigger the effect, and no water begins seeping from it.
+2 RunecraftingCombine Seed Burst and Gentle Direction ( to figure out what they do, you see ) and cast the spell away from everyone else
[4][Luck 4] You combine the two effects into a seed burst spell that actively seeks the target and grants greater control over the effect. As a result, it can be aimed more precisely, misses less, and the resulting plants do what you want for longer and with more precision.
+3 PlantNew Spell: Seeking SeedsButcher some of the dead demons, collecting anything that looks useful. I know their eyes, but anything else would be good, too.
Then experiment with another eye, I want to see if I can use it to see what the demons have seen. Maybe I could combine it with the
crystalline white stones?
[4][Luck 2] You butcher the demons for their eyes, but can't figure out if any other part of them could be useful. You can keep chunks of skin, horn, bone, tooth, or claw if you'd like, though. Alchemy [5][Luck 5], Earth Magic [1+2][Luck 3]. You masterfully combine an eye and rock, but your earth magic is only adequate. Nonetheless, it turns into a black goo you can almost see shapes within, as though something's reflecting on the surface...
+2 AlchemyMystery Potion Created.Attempt to become invisible via bending light.
[4][Luck 5] You manage to bend light around you. It doesn't render you invisible, but it does obscure you with a brilliant rainbow.
+3 Light MagicNow Apprentice Light MageNew Spell: Rainbow ShieldActivate Lightning Edge and go hunt more demons!
[2][Luck 4] You fail to sheath your weapon in lightning, but you think you know what went wrong.
+1 LightningPinch myself and stop setting fire to my body.
[2] You fail to stop setting yourself on fire, as that sounds like something a
wuss would do. Someone who wasn't man enough to develop two separate spells to blow something up as you're right next to it. Fortunately, as there are no enemies around, you opt to wait for later to develop some incredibly self-harming spell.
You all presumably head further north as you experiment with your magic, running into an odd sight. A tall, armored elf wielding a halberd. He looks surprised to see you as well, and perhaps a bit sad that you're not flesheating monsters he can carve up.
It collectively occurs to you all that practicing your spells in the middle of demon-infested territory is likely to end badly at some point or another.
Slightly short man with a long amethyst ponytail and eyes. Medium complexion, birthmark on left hand.
