Suddenly Dwen was struck by an idea. There was no need to forge a shield of alcohol as useful as it would be, there was a simpler way! But that way would still require power.
-eye twitch- so that's the way its going to be.....
TRY AGIAN
Flare put on his most intimidating face. He looked intently at his hand where the cube would appear. It seemed that intimidation method worked, as a cubic decimeter of steel appeared before him. Was it luck or are spirits of magic seriously spineless?
"Hello, Kahel. You wouldn't mind helping me out here, would you? I'll give you the orb if you do."
Pm'd action.
"Perfect. You both offered great bids, but, knowing patterns of the human mind, Marcus had emerged victorious. Time mage, may I hear your name before we finish the fight?"
Kahel gestured at his new adversary, preparing to freeze his head solid. (Homing, Ranged. Essences used: 5 +1/+1, 2 +1 POT, +1/+2)
"I felt like I was going to lose that battle anyway. I am, or perhaps was, The Doctor, Destroyer of Worlds, Savior of Universes, and Lord of Time. You have followed the words of one who cares only for himself, and for that, you shall pay!"
The Doctor begins a mystical chant as he calls upon powers greater than himself to provide him with the means to destroy those that threaten his life force... or whatever opportunity comes his way.
PM turn. Expect something either crazy, stupid, self-destructive, or useless.

END [1]
There was something both amusing and profitable to see two people standing few steps away from each other trying to bribe you into killing the other one. The deadliest auction, also known as term end of goblin democracy. But the bets were over and Kahel reached his decision. His target was the Doctor. Conjuring a sure kill spell in his hand, Kahel unleashed it against the one who offered less. The shining projectile flew at great speed towards Doctor who managed to roll out of the way, and though the spell turned around after mere moments, it was enough time for Time mage to use his own spell. Time shattered and rebuilt itself only to shatter and rebuild again. The magic within essences raged, dragging Kahels spell across timestreams and after Doctor. As spell finally burned out, Doctor heard familiar screech for a moment before Kahels magic thoroughly froze his head.
{Crystals of both Doctor and Harden are still on corpses FYI}

i really should have learned by now to not eat strange fruit.

It was a strange situation, especially so when one knew who the two mages were. Seva, magician of birds, dazed and on the ground, while Gambler, mage of luck, was standing in the treetops, his suit none less dapper for his trip above the roof of the forest. Yet the two seemed friendly for now, would it lead to another team?
Another aether sense with 2 +1/+1 essences. Then make an aether essence.

Jase reached out with his power once more, this time strengthening the spell to deal with whatever clouded his magic before. And then he saw it. The great construct of magic that held up the whole island. Just after this mountain there was the wall of magic keeping the atmosphere inside. It was this magic that overrode whatever any other magic that Jase could have sensed.
"Meh, this stupid place. Better leave."
Go southwest towards the trees, keep looking around. Two essences.

Ancano was pondering. The lands that were raised, could they be an elaborate trap? Would they just fall when he walked sufficiently far over them? The opposition were fools, but it could be that they were smarter than they appeared. It did not matter though. The forest was and its mysteries were far more interesting than another field of grass. Yet the fields of grass were not entirely without merit. Ancanos' sharp eyes noticed a curious plant with three golden berries hanging off it.
Remove the corpse from the throne.
EDIT: And then sit on it.
The corpse with all the golden parts was surprisingly heavy but not so much as to become entirely immovable. It took some effort to roll it off the throne but Electra finally did it. It turned out to be a surprisingly comfortable throne, there were several cushions which had not lost any of their softness from the time the unlucky sod had rested upon them. Yet searching for a way as to how this thing worked Electra heard a suspicious sound of chains being dragged. Immediately, several of them emerged from sides of the throne and pinned Electra just the same as the corpse before was pinned. Was this thing a trap all along?
“So that’s the way it’s gonna be, eh? Well, I’m going after him.”
Go after the tempature mage, make three bees essences. Be sure to hum a happy tune as I go. Alerim will follow me, naturally.

Jonas moved off after his bee-hounds, seeking to catch Kahel. Temperature mage could become a serious problem unless he took care of this now. But it was no time for gloomy thoughts like that. He had at least three plans which all resulted in Kahles death, all of which would not obstruct each other in the slightest. Caught by optimism Jonas barely even noticed that he was whistling a melody. Victory awaited him.
Taxi the jet back to the shop and get out before I'm smushed to death. Look around, see how everything's doing, who's in the area? Seems like there's a huge influx of new mages these days. Ask the tree what's up.

James finally got out of the cramped Jet and looked around. There were no mages nearby the treehouse, was it a coincidence or were people actually respecting his property was a question left unanswered. The treehouse however was covered in bright orange blossoms. That weren't here twenty minutes ago. Treehouse was now also silent, seemingly unwilling to speak. James shrugged and went to meditating instead.
"That's strange. I should search around."
Fly around and look for anything unusual. While doing so, two force essences.

It takes something special to be unusual when literal end of the world is mere fifty meters away, but a tree seemingly carved out of crystal somehow managed to fit the bill. Crimson landed nearby to inspect it and found out from a few stone throws that whatever the tree was it wasn't brittle. Although it did made a nice wind chime like sound.
Sorry guys, some unexpected stuff came up.
