3. María's class

María's class


  • Correct, miss Elva. Can you tell us the effects of the spell? Though the name of it seems rather self-explanatory.


  • _Elva raises her hand half heartedly

    "Combust is an offensive spell of the second circle…."

    She doesn't seem as motivated as she usually is_


  • Hm, I suppose I shall begin if you're all going to be so shy. So then, second circle spells was it?

    We'll start with the offensive spells this circle has to offer, because I do enjoy being offensive… erm.. with my spells in battle, that is. Now, I personally use no offensive spells from this circle, as the circle offers a variety of defensive ones that are quite useful, though still.. the offensive ones have their uses.

    The most common one is Melf's Acid Arrow. A spell that will never miss, and is unavoidable even by the most slippery of characters. Another is Gidlee's Electric loop, which uses the element of lightning to stun a foe should they fail to avoid it. Can anyone else tell me of any other spells that might be considered offensive from this circle? Or perhaps some of you even know some of these spells? Do not be shy, feel free to speak up.

    Wandering in again, late, Bartho watches Ronan's rousal of Elva with a slight frown, taking a seat beside her, he wipes down his neck and right arm with a cloth, dopping a heavy toolbelt beside him on the ground. he takes out an pice of partchment and a gnonmish self inking pen, waiting for the lesson… looking nothing like a mage at all. making notes on his preffered 2nd circle spells

    Fox's cunning : fortifying your mind and allowing your spells greater magnitude is invaluable for enchantments.

    Gedlee's Electric Loop : Quite the handy spell, it can arc through multiple targets. especially handy if you have a resistance spell and can cast upon them around you.

    Flame Weapon : Often it can give a warrior the assisstance they require to fell a foe that turns mundane blades…..

    .........


  • Elva jolts awake and listens to Ronan with tired and slightly sad eyes, when he gets up and leaves she straightens herself out…but finds herself slouching and laying on her desk again...


  • While the attending students prepare to inform him of the lessons they've been taught, Ronan casually heads on over to Elva's desk… arms folded in his robes. When he arrives, he kicks the desk to jolt her awake, looking down at her. If she wakes up, he says:

    I hope the dream was not pleasant. If so, continue sleeping at home and do not waste your time here if you're not wanting to listen and learn. No one is forcing you to be here, young lady..

    He then returns to the front for all to see him..


  • Elva says nothing, still snoozing on her desk


  • In light of Maria's absence, I will substitute for her in the mean time.

    Ronan says

    I am a professor at Spellweaver. If that is acceptable to everyone, we can begin as soon as possible. Maria's methods may be different from mine, so I will ask you students what you have gone over so far. Maria may go over this particular lesson again when she returns, though hearing different opinions may benefit you students in the long run.

    So then, who would like to catch me up?


  • Faide takes a seat beside the snoozing wizard, placing his bookbag on the table before him. He smiles and nudges Elva to wake her up.

    "I don't think we're having class today Elva. Would you like to compare notes and go over what we have learned instead?"


  • Professor Buttergarden shows up for Maria's class, then seems concerned when she doesn't show up.

    Buttergarden:
    Where is Maria? We're only on the second circle for goodness sakes, and she's late! Has anyone seen her? Check the library. Check the bath house. Check Hemrod's shop. Where is that woman?


  • Elva stays, even when everyone starts to leave, after a few more hours she falls asleep on her desk

  • G

    Next class everyone is waiting for María, but she doesn't seem to arrive…they wait and wait, some people wait for an hour, but María is nowhere to be seen, and noone seems to be able to tell where did she go.


  • "Um….yes I have....but I dont want to wake anyone up once I reach the beds...."

  • G

    Blinks Have you considewred using a simple countwrip of light to help you in the towewr…?


  • "Darkvision has other um…more practical uses as well....Its helped in the tower...when its dark and I have to walk down lots of stairs....b-but See Invisibility is also useful...

  • G

    Nods quietly at her good spells indeed. But do tell me, what's mowre common, to be able to see in the magical dawrnkess, which you can see and know it's thewre, owr to see invisible cwreatuwres that might be stalking?


  • //Ice Dagger was changed from its original effect

    Here it is taken from the build notes.

    @931f3dd14b:

    Ice Dagger will now do splash damage (1), but still offers a reflex save. Splash damage will round down to zero if saves are made.

    _Elva raises her hand

    Um…Invisibilty....because it makes you unseen....Balagarns Iron Horn...because it can knock down people who are surrounding you...and let you make a get away....Lesser Dispell....so you can strip magic off enemy mages...and um...Ultravison....so you can see in darkness...._

    _María reaches for her staff and starts walking towards the door, motions the students to follow her. She goes to the spellweaver's yard and then asks his apprentice Kyan to summon a slaad, she summons some elemental herself and makes both summons stay one near the other.

    She casts an icedagger spell on the slaad, and it only affects the slaad, not even scratching the elemental, not even by a bit._

    I don't know what spell awre you talking about. But I tell you, as I just pwroved, that the ice daggewr does -not- affect mowre than one cwreatuwre.

    //So it says the description and so it happens when tested on creatures. So that's how it works…//

    After that , she motions Kyan to unsummon the slaad, doing herself the motion to unsumon the elemental, after which she leads the group back inside

    Vewry well. This solved, let us move to the next ciwrcle.

    Who can tell me which would be the fouwr second ciwrcle spells one should have?


  • Faide looks up from his notes. Blue eyes focused on Maria.

    "Miss Maria, the ice dagger spell does in fact effect more than one target. Should you set a chair in the middle of the room incircled by four other chairs. The main chair will be struck by the knife, while the others will be hit by the shards of the knife upon impact."

  • G

    Thing is, the ice daggewr is elemental damage, which is something many cwreatuwres can absowrb, while magical damage caused by magic missile is something that can't be blocked, except maybe by one owr two cwreatuwres. Also, the wrange is fawr mowre lawrge by the second.

    I dont know who have you seen using the icedaggewr, but it's effects only affect one single tawrget, just like the magic missile, except the lattewr ones do mowre damage than the fiwrst…
