casted spontaneous magic (Harm/Fire - 10-2-1) (6 shifts) on them.

(ooc: I wonder how 10 will shift. Can it be split like 7/5/1?)

Actually, there's no 10 on spontaneous magic, that's for rituals only. I know I need to add some jquery magic to enable/disable the 10 option depending on whether you selected ritual or spontaneous.

And if the shifts don't fit nicely, there will be discharges. You were very lucky this one went without discharges.

The second templar kicked Astalos on the chest, pressing the air from his lungs and making him see stars. Then he heaved him up, and knocked him out.

A short while later, the inquisition moved back towards their ship, two of the templars dragging the unconscious Astalos between them.

Inquisitor Lucious turned to the crowd once more, scanning it. He had a feeling this was not the only heretic around, but given the spirit of the boy, he would have to do the questioning himself, to make sure there would be no escape attempts.

Well. At least Astalos took some templars out. What happened to the attack on the inquisitor by loren's character?

Inquisitor Lucious turned to the crowd once more, scanning it. He had a feeling this was not the only heretic around, but given the spirit of the boy, he would have to do the questioning himself, to make sure there would be no escape attempts.

Dynamis careful hid his shock that his spell Frostbite had no effect on the Inquisitor who was looking the other way. The man clearly had some sort of relic that protected him. Carefully he avoided the gaze of the inquisitor as he joined the peasants who were turning to leave. As the Inquisitor's attention was directed to the opposite side of the crowd once more Dynamis quickly examined the Inquisitor's accoutrement looking for anything that seemed out of place averting his gaze in a smoothe motion as the Inquisitor began to turn his head back. By the time the Inquisitor's gaze was upon him again Dynamis looked like another peasant in the crowd. It would take some time to think about what he saw, but in the mean-time Dynamis muttered a spell quietly under his breath as he walked away from the Inquisitor but facing the two Templars dragging the unconscious Astalos. Only the man immediately to his right even noticed that he was talking. Soon a ball of lightning formed over the heads of the Templars and the unconcious Astalos. It might harm the stupid spell caster, but it was a chance he would take. In a flash lightning bolts struck down as the power of Ball Lightning is released.

First fire, now lightning. This was starting to be entertaining. Zuno decided the chaos below needed a little more fun. Zuno/cat twitched his tail and concentrated on drawing water onto the white-hot shield  - spontaneous magic (Control/Water - 4-1-2) (2 shifts).

3-2-2
Sea water rushed onto the melting shield. As the water touched the shield, it instantly turned into steam. After a minute, all the water pulled from the sea by the spell has evaporated. Only a black lump of iron was on the ground where the heated shield once was.

You may have noticed that he didn't speak since then. Unless I made a mistake.

As a matter of fact, it'll kill him, yes. As an effect 4 spell, since he has no protection, that's game over.

I have to go away over the weekend, so this should take things out for now:


The two templars and the heretic were struck down where they stood, defenseless against the magic that was hitting them. Lucious, unable to do much ordering with this strange feel in his mouth he needed to have checked out, used a few gestures to initiate a retreat towards the ship. This town must be a haven for heretics, he thought, and made a mental note to ask the shipmaster on the condition of the cannons and fire-throwers as soon as he could speak again.
They took their dead brothers with them and left the heretic to rot, given that they could not carry a third body.

Dynamis turned with the crowds to look as the three men were struck dead. "Oops" He thought momentarily. Decidedly more bold having killed two additional Templars and seeing nothing strange about the Inquisitor, Dynamis felt a rush of adrenaline as he stepped forward. He calls out at the Inquisitor, "Witch! Protect us! Witch! I saw her cast that spell which killed the Warlock! Witch!" Dynamis was pointing straight at a strikingly beautiful woman in extremely dirty clothes who made the mistake of turning angrily at the real spellcaster.

In quick motions with his hand inside his pockets he cast Cantrip of Cleansing upon the woman. Who smiles luxuriously at the clean feeling that washes over her. Soon the crowd joins in with the calls for protection. "Kill her!" Shouts one man, "Burn her," yells another.

With all eyes upon the woman Dynamis prepares another two spells targeting the last two remaining Templars. Earthen Spikes strike the first and then Earthen Spikes strike the second Templar from below and the side. Briefly impaled upon the spikes one of them breaks his training and screams in pain before he collapses to the ground joining the dead brethren he was dragging. Leaving the Inquisitor alone and facing the 'witch'.

OOC: Unclear how you could cast magic as a cat.  =)

OOC - fair enough.  That does beg the question, though, what are the limits regarding the casting of spells? 

He could see the target, so it's not like he's shooting at something blindly.  He wasn't shape-shifted, according to the spell he's just controlling the cat's mind and using its senses, he's not actually being the cat (he's hiding in a nearby hayloft).

OOC: He could see it as the cat, he still has relatively little knowledge of precisely how far it is away from him.  Just try throwing darts using a mirror, your control will be terrible.  You'll get it in the right area, but good luck hitting your actual target.  Better use a spell were close is good enough.

A quick ruling: You are the caster of the spells, thus all spells originate from you, not the cat. The mind control does not provide a channel for magic, that would require an additional spell with a Base of "magic" - which doesn't exist.

So, theoretically, you could cast a spell as a cat on a target within LOS of both the cat and your own body, though targetting it would be tricky at least. Very tricky. Basically, your chances of hitting anything but your intended target are pretty good. But it's theoretically possible. But if your body is one place and the cat another, negative. Spells originate from your body.

When a ball of lightning hit Astalos, he felt his heart stopping and beating again several times. Miraculously, his heart did not stop. But the spell burnt him from the inside and he could not even stand up. With all the strength left in him, Astalos casted spontaneous magic (Heal/Body - 4-2-1) (3 shifts), hoping this time things do not get out of control and make him younger.
