A man clothed in blue cloaks woke up in what appeared to be a dungeon. A cell, more specifically. "Aghhh... dammit... my head... it hurts." He holds a hand to his face, and slowly gets up. The cell was dark, pitch black as midnight. There were no windows. "...where am I?" the man asked. He felt the walls. Stone, stone, stone, stone... wood. There was a wooden door. Stone, stone, stone, stone. Wood door, again. All stone, except for the door. Which, predictably, was locked. And then the man had a realization. "...WHO am I?" Suddenly, the man doubled over in pain. His mind swirled with a blue energy, full of power and pleasure and pain. It was birth, it was death, it was the Mother and Father and Child and Alpha and Omega and...... Magic. And there were little bits of things in it. If the magic, the mana, the ether, was a stream, these were like leaves floating along in it. Spells. Applications of magic. And it felt like they were... aware? Or maybe even alive? The man reached out, grabbing as many of them as he could in his mind. "I don't know much more than you guys. But if you all can help me get out, please, help me. Why am I here? Who am I? And where am I?" His plea was geninue, and desperate. And so, the magic sang... -------------------------------------- Welcome to Spells Trouble, the game where you play as literal magic. You will sign up as a Spell. Your use will be specific. As a spell, you need 3 things. A: A Name, such as "Create Water" or "Magic Bolt". B: A Description, telling what the spell does. C: A Sigil, using any art software to draw on this grid:  You get to decide the color, as well. Sign-Up Rules: 1. You start weak and get stronger. No giant fireballs. Start small, grow more powerful. 2. If you feel like you've reached a new level of power, you may alter your name. This won't affect the 'gameplay', any, it's just if you feel like it. 3. I reserve the right to veto any spell I feel would be innapropriate, too niche, too powerful, or just... gross. Does the 'I've got my eyes on you' gesture at Theantero. 4. Your spell will have a personality, but no memories. --------------------------------------- Rules: Our hero will encounter an Obstacle. He will then decide on a few spells he feels would be most useful in that situation. Those spells have the opportunity to level up and get stronger. If you are a spell that was chosen: You try to convince the other spells/players to pick you. If you were a spell that was not chosen: You vote on which spell you want to be used. There is no mana, or cooldowns. It all is a matter of how useful you are to the current situation. A Fireball is of no use against a giant pit, and Levitate is of no use against a giant rat.

The man, once all the spells were 'introduced' as it were, got back up on his feet. "Alright... uhhh... 'team'? Oh, god, that sounds corny... anyway. We have a problem. A problem called a door that is locked. I want out. And some of you look like good ways out." "We have options. And honestly, all of them sound as good to me as any other, so I'll let you all decide what to do." Option A: We Blink our way past the door.  Option B: We use some Alchemy to turn part of the door into... water or air or whatever. It'll make a hole we could squeeze through. Option C: A door is a boundary between two rooms. We could Demarcate it away.  Option D: Who needs subtlety. Just use Telekinesis to push the door off it's hinges.  Option E: We use Gravity to make the door fall... over? In on itself?  "So, if you wanna get used and get stronger, start trying to sway the others. And if you're not chosen, pick your favorite option." The man sat down and waited for the headache of these rowdy spells fighting each other over who was the best option.

Telekinesis It's not like I totally can't do this (because, I'm like, pretty darn sure I can blast this door away on my own, no problem), but I just, like, feel like we should take this a little more slowly to start, be cautious about things, y'know? Nah just kidding let's rip this thing's hinges off and blow the door down! Lux Anima fucked around with this message at 02:01 on Jul 31, 2020 |

 Cure Light Wounds OK. Blink gets us through the door. We don't know what's on the other side of the door yet, there could be a quiet guard keeping watch or somesuch. Turning the door into something else, we'd have to deal with whatever stuff we create. Gravity and Telekinesis remove the door, but at what sound level? I'm hoping Demarcation is silent, at least.

 Camponotus said to the workers, "Fill the stores with gravel"; so they filled them to the brim. Then she told them, "Now, take some out and take it the the Queen." They did so, and the queen tested the gravel that had been turned into crumbs. She did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had gathered the gravel knew. She called the drones aside and said "Everyone brings out the dry crumbs first, and then the good crumbs after the workers have had their fill, but you have brought the best already. What Camponotus did here in Collis of Formicae was the first of the signs through which she revealed her glory, and her disciples believed in her." Myrm, Chapter 2, verses 7-11.

With 5 votes, Demarcation wins! Theantero, describe, in your next post, how Demarcation gets upgraded, and if you like, change your Name or Description to match. You can add range, or power, or whatever you see fit. "Alright, spells, looks like we're just going to make this thing vanish." The nameless mage walked closer to the door's location. The room was still pitch-black, but he knew where the door was. If he had woken up in the 'southwest' corner, the door was on the very east edge of the north wall. Magic poured into the man's left finger, and he drew a very straight line. A Rune. A Rune that had the power of the boundary. His right hand stretched out and touched the door. It felt almost instant, and it certainly was silent. No incantation. No dramatic, magical gestures. The door seemed to just... pop out of existence. Like it had been spirited away. The door was gone, and light shone through the door. Faint, firey, flickering light. Torches. The mage poked his head out the door, and looked around. There was no guards. Aside from the torches on the walls, no signs of life. The hallway was bare. The mage walked out and grabbed a torch, hanging off a metal holder on the wall. There was only the door-that-was-now-void he had walked through, and one door at the end of the hallway. He approached it, and slowly grabbed the handle. Unlike the last door, this one was unlocked, but the man had heard what the spells had argued. Luckily, there was a sliding metal slot to look through, and the man pushed it. Past the door was a large, empty banquet hall. The room was filled with a table, with nothing on it. There was another door at the end of the hall, but there was one obstacle. A dog on a chain. The dog had a quiet, but noticable whine, and it looked agitated. "Okay, magic voices. That dog, if we open the door, will probably bark like a storm. We need a way to keep it silent, both from making barks and from it's chain rattling." Option A: We use Gravity to hold the dog down, preventing it from moving. Option B: Maybe it's a whine of hunger? If we Summon a Chicken, he dog might eat it and be distracted, what with having a mouth full. Option C: It might be whining in pain. If we Cure it's Light Wounds, it could be grateful to us. Option D: We could stop it in mid-bark with Nope. "Any of those sound good to me. Let the arguing commence. I wish I had something for headaches..."

Telekinesis Hmm... y'know, when push comes to shove, heavy gravity might cause the dog to bark and summon a guard. Taking it by surprise simply isn't enough! We have to give it something it wants, and that means either means healing it of hidden wounds, or... Hunger! That's it! This poor animal is starving! We have to: Summon a chicken dinner.
