fireball! burn burn burn! BURN!

[Vertigon]

fireball! burn burn burn! BURN!

Did you even look at the rest of page 7? We're debating negotiation.

[USEC_OFFICER]

fireball! burn burn burn! BURN!

Also, I'm reworking magic. Mostly to prevent people from fireballing everything in sight. (It's a very powerful spell.)

[USEC_OFFICER]

i can't see the turn

Here you go, directly from the image itself: (I'm sure you can find out who is who.)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

You decide to shoot a fireball at the door. After all, pryotechnics always work, right?

[2] Huh. Seems that that fireball exploded in front of the door, instead of blasting through it, destroying everything inside. Oh well, what’s the worst that can happen?

[6] Wait a second, double vision? Stars whirling around your head? Dude, you are so drunk. Actually, it looks like you found some herbs. Ah well, you are still gonna enjoy your -1 to all rolls.

Ah hah! The herbs are in the cavern!

Sadly, since 99.99% of wizard wear clothes, there is no such thing as summon pants. Your censorship square will work just fine.

What was that spell again? Ah yes. [5+2] You cast smugness on yourself.

You now look so smug, that I had to edit out your face to prevent people from smashing their monitors. (And not because I can’t draw smugness. Not at all)

You aim your crossbow, ready to shoot anything at moves once the door is blown open. [1+2] Mind you, having a bolt loaded might help.

[4] You cast divine protection on Sir Motigg. He is now protected by a swirly glowy light thing.

Protected by your swirly, glowy light thing, you creep up to the door, ready to rush in.
[1]

*Dramatic Wooshing Sound*

[4] Thanks to the swirly, glowy thing, your third-degree burns are only first-degree burns.

You check the thing on the other side of the door.

Turns out it was a torch. If you light it, it will provide light.

[6] Just like that, minus the third-degree burns.

When the smoke clears, you see five surprised smugglers. Three with crossbows, two with melee weapons.

[USEC_OFFICER]

I cast charm on a bandit.

Now, normally, I would ask you who exactly, but judging by your present state...

EDIT: Worked on magic. Tell what you think. I didn't add effects for obvious spells like charm or heal.)

[dwarfguy2]

fireball. burn burn burn. if they try anything funny.

[USEC_OFFICER]

You already casted it, remember?

[dwarfguy2]

fine, magic missile then.

[Nirur Torir]

I cast charm on a bandit.

Now, normally, I would ask you who exactly, but judging by your present state...

Precisely.

EDIT: Worked on magic. Tell what you think. I didn't add effects for obvious spells like charm or heal.)

Better then it was before, but I don't don't understand, logically, why certain spells would have a cool-down timer. Personally, I would replace it with some/all of the following:
-Mana
-Some spells needing more concentration to cast (With a penalty if they're cast in a distracting situation. It's hard to preform a summoning ritual while dodging a guy with a battleaxe)
-Some spells needing concentration to maintain, limiting the possible amount, either per-spell or total (IE, summons and enchantments)
-Some spells needing preparations (Depending on the power, this might be automatically and freely done after battle. Fire-blast, for example, might need a complex spell-phrase mentally prepared, charged, and stored in that silly incorporeal pocket that D&D wizards have. Preparing a second spell of the type might be possible in battle, by taking an extra turn to cast it.)

[wolfchild]

Thanks USEC, but by that time the problem had fixed itself already, also where would i find the magic changes?

[Azrathud]

Hersus Camaque

On second thought, negotiation it probably the best option. *He grumbles..*
Back away from the door, Stow the torch, and secretly ready my shurikens.

[Burnt Pies]

I'll start Healing the Burned guys. Or Cleansing them, if that helps.

[Motigg]

Well since we're negotiating now,

I attempt to introduce myself and apologize for bursting down the door.

[Vertigon]

I then step forward and explain that the local townspeople don't really like the bandits, and they sent us to solve the problem.

"Perhaps we could persuade you to leave?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

Right. I will be changing the spells even more now. Spells needing concentration to maintain will only be for ones that affect everybody (i.e. inspire or blizzard) and (powerful) summoned monsters that you must control. Regular summoning and enchantments don't need to be maintained. (But require lots of mana.)

Wizards already have concentration to cast. (That's why inspire has -1 to spells. It's too loud.) It just hasn't come up yet.

I like everything else though. Will work on it.
