22:00:55 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

[Heh. Maybe I should fight a duel soon, to get my hand in ;D. Thing is... my character does have a point. You only really get magic that can even get close to killing someone at around level 40 or 50 for most of these disciplines. It'll take a...long time.. to get to that point, and have some really brutal magical battles. And even the high level magic isn't armageddon-level. Then again... this is, I would assume, all designed on a scale for students, not masters, of magic]

[And another thing: Does a shield of a particular element work against the spells of that element, even when it logically shouldn't? Taking an example from the duel, the earth shield that Revenge summoned to eat Plato's earth blasts. The kinetic force of the earth would be what injured you, not some magical drive behind it, and you would want a generic 'inertic shield' to protect you against that kind of injury. So maybe an eighth magical discipline, Shielding, would be in order. Problems with colour here... i'll post an example below.]


22:03:37 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

just let Killer right the rules, for crying out loud!


22:05:40 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

Who wants to duel?


22:09:35 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

Shielding

Level 1 - Lesser Kinetic Shield; creates an extremely weak protective field in one direction. It reduces the velocity of projectiles travelling through the field... slightly. This would be of more use against telekenisis and Earth Strike. 1 mp

Level 1 - Lesser Energy Shield: Draws away the magical power of attacks launched through the shield. Mono-directional, very slight reduction. This would be of more use against fireballs. 1 mp

Level 3 - Lesser Void Field; creates a black-hole esque rift at a target. This draws in projectiles, and can fire them all back out again at additional mana cost. 2 mp, 2 per projectile to launch back

Level 5 - Kinetic Shield: Same as the lesser incarnation, save it reduces more. 3 mp.

Level 5 - Energy Shield: Guess what? 3 mp

Level 10 - Mordakien's Personal Bubble: Creates a, well, bubble of energy all around you. The temperature, air supply, and atmosphere within this bubble is carefully regulated, and protects the user from all external threats as well until burst. This would be of use if the temperature was raised or lowered beyond normal human limits (e.g -20 degrees or 60 degrees), via the appropriate magic, and perhaps be efficent against Cyclones and Earthquakes as well. 7 mp

Etc..

[Hey, i'm just trying to be logical here, Plato ;D. And if Killer agrees, sure. I have some fiendish plans... *reclines on his chair*]


22:11:59 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

Yes, I know about your plans...

*suspicious and cautious look*


22:20:04 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Killer:

Errr... No... Not another element... I don't want the magic to be strong until later levels as you'll all be blowing the place up with magic then, no doubt... It makes sense for them to protect against their own spells, sort of... And I really don't want too good of shields, otherwise everyone will just themselves in them.


22:21:52 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Killer:

Anyway, the earth shield wouldn't have stopped the earth chunks, just slowed them slightly, they were god-moding a bit..


22:26:43 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Killer:

*The professors take the students, all the ones who have not yet a wand down to the forest. They say to find short sticks, straightish, and not to harm the trees. This the majority of the students do. Killer finds a short straight stick of maple. They take the wands back, and show the students how to inscribe the wands with magic runes. They don't help magic particularly much, but do a bit, of every element. Staffs then focused more on one element. Killer incribed his wand with a couple of runes, some of the professors wouldn't even know what most of the runes mean, but they were the only written magical language.*(just pick what type of wood your wand is made of, some are slightly better than others, not much, then stick a few runes on it. They won't help your magic that much, but will a bit.)

Runes? Runescape? Do you know you many millions of books and films and games and stuff there are about runes before runescape? You a) mustn't read fantasy books, b) like Runescape, c) Ummmm... not make such a connection again.


22:37:25 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

Yes, but Runescape comes into mind first...

Verthias followed the students as they walked out into the woods, but did not take special care to avoid being seen: He was, after all, a student. He watched as they were told to fetch their wands, and then looked for his own. He found it, on a dying weeping willow tree, it's branches dipping into the water, but stiffening with decay. It matched him, perfectly. Petrifying it quickly, and carving on appropriate runes, Verthias checked the effectiveness of his new wand...

[How much will these wands give to all elements, then?*sniffs at rejection of his proposed shield system*]


22:42:33 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Killer:

No... it doesn't. In fact, it hadn't even come into my mind until you mentioned it, and it's a pointless game with absolutely *beep*jective.


22:44:11 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Killer:

Petrifying? Errr...

They won't give anything to all the elements, just make the spells slightly better.


22:44:54 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

I put mostly light and wind in mine, but it had a little of everything.

RUNESCAPE IS AWESOME!!! (not better than VU)


22:50:20 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

[Shoots Plato in the head. Three times. With a large-bore pistol. Then finishes the job with a full P90 clip]

['Petrifying', yes. In this case, presumably a combined derative of [Freezing Spell Level 1] and some energy and darkness ;D]


22:59:34 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

*Gary reverses time and takes the gun and shoots Verthias with all the ammo it had until he was a pool of blood*


23:11:27 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

[Hold on just a minuite here. How did you reverse time? Besides which, I beleive we're getting sidetracked.. sadly, I won't be able to duel you today, Plato. Maybe tomorrow]


23:12:21 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

[I borrowed it from Demonsul, and I still have a bit of the power sense it was originaly mine]


23:14:11 Feb 24th 08 - Mr. Plato:

Demonsul, wish to duel after you get wand with Killer as the referee(man that is a mouth full!)?

The only wand-worthy twig Demonsul found was off of a birch tree. Engraving a few dark runes onto it, he practiced waving it convincingly. But that was not his concern. Although access to the magic tracers in the uniforms was forbidden to students, Demonsul had picked up a lesson plan for the missing boy. Visiting the final lesson on the plan (which luckily ended after his own last lesson), Demonsul saw the face again. It was almost a certainty that the new pupil had stolen the missing pupils clothes...and disposed of the pupil inside them.
The new pupil also had recognized Demonsul as a threat and tried to probe his mind. Luckily, Demonsul had thrown up a mind shield just in time.
This was a dangerous investigation. Demonsul needed backup, in case he needed to face this new killer. Straight away he thought of Plato, whom he had known before coming to the school. It was always worth a shot...so he asked Plato to come with him and investigate the missing pupil. He didn't tell Plato about the new pupil, because he didn't need to know.

[meowman it think were up to 120 points by now, not sure]


15:06:37 Feb 25th 08 - Sir Revenge:

Revenge searched the hills, he came across a large oak tree
He used his teleknesis and snaped a twig of the branch
It floated down nicely into his hand
It was quite chunky but Revenge has got lots of long chunky things
He swished it around a bit, it felt quite nice to hand
We walked over to a chalky area and found a nice saharp flint
He inscibed some words into it, he felt a slight pulse of enery afterwards from it
" Wow.... Didnt think it was going to be that good " Revenge said surpirsingly
He walked back in to the academy with his new 'wand'
He and his loyal Imp sat down and had some food
He went to bed quite early after a good Earth class


17:54:39 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

[Yes, petrifying.

  3. to harden organic matter by permeating with water and depositing dissolved minerals

 Trust me on this, I know what i'm talking about -_-


18:04:08 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

Deathuelf's spent/has 80 skill points, you seem to have spent.. 95, demonsul o.O. Revenge has spent 100, I've spent or have 88, Killer has spent 80... Plato seems to have 49, but he has some skills down at level 2...

This is getting very confusing, and I've double-checked those figures :P.

 


18:09:23 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Deathuelf:

 killer and me have dun it right cos killer gives us the points so hes right and ive keeped up to date(i think i have)


18:13:38 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

Looks like it. But where did demonsul, Revenge, Plato and I all stray off the beaten track... *frowns*


18:16:20 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Demonsul:

i have counted out my points exactly. where did i go wrong?? do we have 80, or 100, or what?


18:18:46 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Killer:

Demonsul was yet to find Plato, but whilst searching the corridor for him, he had an ingenious idea. He used [Empathy] to search for nearby students, but within seconds of casting he felt a horrible emotion nearby...it was as if someone was being tortured! Demonsul broke into a run. At level 7 mind skill, he had a good idea where the emotion was coming from.
Skidding round the corner, Demonsul nearly hit a suit of armor, but it politely stepped out of the way quickly before impact. This school gets wierder every day, Demonsul thought, but he had the presence of mind to yell "Thank you!" before disappearing down a side corridor.
The horrible tortured student was just round the corner when Demonsul stopped for breath. Despite the fact he had spared no time running all the way there, Demonsul was not suicidal, and whatever was round the corner was lethal. Suddenly, the tortured scream being transmitted via empathy faded away. It didn't stop as if the person screaming had stopped, it just faded away unnaturally. Whatever was happening had ended. Probably with bad results for the student...it was time to leave.
When Demonsul was a safe distance from the thing that had tortured the student, Demonsul stopped running. Luckily, he stopped just before he ran into Plato. "Plato, you always show up too late!" panted Demonsul. "I was looking for you, but I found something terrible instead!" Demonsul then went on to explain about the tortured emotion, and the student that had something done to them that probably wasn't pleasant. He even threw in the suit of armor for good measure. When he was done, he looked at Plato and said simply, "We have to do something."

Verthias let the body slump down to the ground, and crack into the hard stones of the floor. He felt his strength returning to him now, as he claimed more power. He stepped over the drained husk of the formerly living creature beneath him - his body unmarked at all, but his eyes filled with the horror of his death and his body already decaying from within. But that wasn't the worst of it. Verthias chuckled as he rolled the newest addition to his menagerie around in his mind. He hadn't been strong in life, but he would serve well enough in death.

He slunk away into the shadows, and failed to notice the student who was himself hiding with his own powers of darkness...


19:42:36 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Killer:

Errr... yeah, you can join Redbeard. Please don't go copying everything of one person.
Verthias, please don't go around killing students, it may end up worse for you.


19:51:30 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Verthias X:

[Don't think of it as killing. I'm merely... enlightening them.]

[Well, okay, i'm not. But what else am I expected to do? I mean, being a cut-and-dried, copied-and-pasted student, wishy-washy, good, and differing only in what spells I use... it just doesn't appeal to me. Myself, I chose something different. I chose the impossible. I chose...Verthias]

Plato walked through the halls, trying to find the library, when Demonsul came running by.  Demonsul stopped and said, "Plato, another kid is being tortured!  Use empathy!"  Plato did this and flet a terrible feeling.  The yran to where it was coming from and ran into the room.  The kid was screamin loud.  A black creature was next to the kid, apparently trying to control it.  Plato sent a earth strike at it and Demonsul used an elecktric shock.  The creature screamed and fell back into the dark.  The thing took the kid with it.


23:54:03 Feb 25th 08 - Mr. Plato:

Hey, this is a top of the list now!  Wooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
