Amilia opened her eyes and groaned.
"Well...this could've gone better." she muttered to herself as she looked around. The ground around her was scorched. Burns on her arms and legs looked bad but didn't really hurt. I would take a while for them to heal fully. She stood up unsteadily and looked around. It seemed as if no one noticed her exploits yet. Her hand rested on the hilt of her blade. She decided to try it one more time but this time something simpler. She looked around for some appropriate target.

"Sear ..." she concentrated hard on the branch ahead. For a second it sparked and ignited but flame went out pretty quick.

"Sear!" she concentrated harder this time the flame flickered for a little longer but still was not what she'd hoped for.

"Damn you, old man...." she whispered.

Suddenly she'd heard a noise. Someone was coming.

"Ah...hell..." She slunk back into the shadow and summoned the Watcher. In the dim light of the moon the apparition would hardly be seen. She pulled the sword out of the sheath and remained silent just behind the tree trunk. She closed one eye allowing the vision from the ghostly wisp of smoke fill her vision. blurry as it was she could still see a shadow making its way through the tree line. She gripped the blade tighter ready for a battle.

Besides which, when you go to actually use your new overpowered character that has never posted a single RP, people will be suspicious.

Suspicious but how do you prove it? Innocent untill prven guilty yes? But yeah i see the point. Dont gang up on me like that lol. I was just wondering lol. But sounds like its not really a big problem.

I noticed that once i "Commited Action" it gave me points and all but...What does it record it anywhere? I mean...I can spam spells for no reason in parses commit and never post it in the rp which will give me boost in skills. So I was thinking is there actually a way to make sure that parses after commiting and action that this has been used in actaul RP? I mean I know that you can rely on player's honesty but....I bet someone would just abuse that. Iono if there is a code for checking that or not. But I was thinkingif not there could a way to link the forum account and spell master parser or maybe assign a code to the parses that is required for the post to be accepted in the forum which then will communicate with the parser letting it know that this post has been used and there for the exp thats been given is not just a power play. I mean I know very little about this sort of programming as I am jsut starting to learn about it but you must see the issue here. If not Ill just try to restated it simpler.

1) You use parser to write the RP.
2) after you commit the action it give you exp and text for forum to post in proper format
3) If you post it its all fair but if not
4) You get exp without using actual post
5) You keep spaming spells as long as you can untill you out of energy what not in the same post with no actual RP
6) You commit and you gain EXP but you dont use the post
7) You get OP character with no actual posts

Now iono if that is easy to understand at all but I tried

P.S. forgive the typos keybord is wonky lately and I am getting tired of retyping most stuff

((OOC. I hope this ok and I haven't screwed up in some way lemme know if i have))

A dark shadow crept silently through the forest. Or at least as silent as the undergrowth would allow. For a girl of her skills Amilia felt incredibly clumsy. The long ancient blade she discovered years ago in the North kept slamming into the tree trunks with low thump. Finally she managed to find a small clearing. The pale light of the moon flooded the glade. Amilia's long fiery red hair wavered in the quite breeze. She glanced around hoping that no one followed her. She knew damn well she should not practice so close to town in the Southern Regions but she had little choice. At least she'd be able to see or hear if anyone was around. She pulled the string letting the cloak drop to the ground. Her body was cladded in light armor of wood and metal. It was far from a conservative look. It covered her chest and waist, small gauntlets covered her forearms but that was about it. She received quite a few whistles from the people on the streets as she passed in such attire. Most of which received swift retribution.

Amilia extended her hand and concentrated.

"Watcher..." she whispered Watcher. A small cloud of mist flickered slowly into existence. Amilia smiled. In her mind's eye she could see vaguely everything the appiration saw.

"Now... Let's try something a little more interesting." She smiled.

She wanted something new this time. She concentrated hard on intent and the basic element. She extended her arm outwards and said a silent prayer hoping she wasn't about to blow herself to bits.
