Even if it's a form of spellcasting it could also be mana based ("The dreadful, Mana cost: Effing lot!) or event based ("The dreadful recharges at dawn/midnight", for example).

It could even be Skill/chance based ("The dreadful: Causes instability. Each time you fire the dreadful roll X number of D6 dice, X being the number of times the dreadful has been used previously that day. If any dice shows a 1, 2 or 3 you're sucked into a dimensional vortex. That's a bad thing)

The parallels between Kit and Black Mage continue... :P

1) evil wave of diabolical energy.
2) clicky, eye-winky gesture
3) once per day doomsday spell.

Y'know, there's this really nifty invention out there specifically designed for determining the outcome of 50/50 probability events. It's called a coin.

There is, of course, no guarantee that Kit is not lying to or misleading Liz, given how Liz has generally proven herself to be quite untrustworthy.

Michael Morris · 08-10-2011, 07:36 AM

Liz untrustworthy? That's like saying water is wet.

Keep them coming Matt. And oh, Matt does commissions folks, he just finished a cool one for me a few days ago.

Is it Julian Nash's Sour Mash Bourbon?

Bard The 5th LW · 08-11-2011, 12:50 PM

I don't know why it would be anything else. It gives her the confidence to do anything.

Yee haw.

Even after I learned, grew up, and came to be on the right side of a lot of important issues, I was still angry, abrasive, and generally increased the amount of hate in the world, in pretty unacceptable ways. On the off chance that someone is taking a trip down memory lane looking through those old threads, I wanted to devote my signature to say directly to you, I'm sorry. Thank you for letting me be better, NPF.
