Enter the fields
LUCK [5]The voices were geting closer. With each step Witness took the voices grew closer and stronger. Yet with each step they became harder to make out, comming from all directions at once. The search would not be an easy one.
Alter it with runes using the runic essence to have an English language setting.

POT [6+2=8]Carving out runes on a tiny peble is difficult even with an instrument that requires no strength and is very precice. David discovered the hard way that doing something as hard requires great consentration, something that is easily smashed by translator reshaping every breath into pure madness. A single slip up was all it took for single voice to turn into unending choir. No longer the translator required words from outside, the power that fueled it suplied them in abundance.
"Thank you Grundar. Good work. If you want something, let me know."
Put the amulet on. Heck yeah, protection from magic!
My mech got unlocked, right? Climb in and try moving the arms and taking a few steps.
And of course craft 1 summoning essence and one healing essence.

POT [5+1+1-1=6]Grundar, after admiring the new tower sized robot for a bit, scampered off back to his unfinished lunch. The time was now, there were no other reasons to wait. Confidently, James climbed up he mech and steped inside. With same self asured smile he sat down in pilot seat and put his hand on controls. As the seat ajusted for his weight and figure, multitude of panels flashed to life. A helmet lowered from the ceiling, and mage eagerly put it on. As the various systems adjusted for their new pilot and his psyche, basic instructions of mech control flashed on helmets glass interface. With a light touch james inspected status of all systems. Power was at full 100%. Weapons were charged and ready. Sensors and computers created a realistic immage of immedet surroundings to make it look like top of the mech was made of clear glass. Built in bar dispensed a chalice of cold champane to the immediete right of pilots seat. Just to keep himself in shape mage summoned a pair of essenses. It wouldnt do to be spoiled just now. Oh wait, there is auto-aiming system here. Nevermind, relaxation ahoy!
"Hmm, yes, yes. This pocket world needs my guiding hand. I can already see the path forming."
Create two vector essences.
Head towards the volcano (greeting any mages I pass by) and look for two nice, fist sized rocks suitable for skull-bash...*cough* ...for applied guidance.

END [4]Aoshi, being somone who guided others, always had a clear plan of actions wherever he was. Greet the locals, check. Head over to the most inhospitable place to avoid rivals and door-to-door salesman, in progres. Get suplies for large scale spells, going well with two fine esenses for now. Find something hard to enforce finer points of your advice, well... Aoshi had found a rather promising looking stone. large, but not too large, so it can still be caried. It was a bunddle of sharp looking edges too. Yet as the guide atempted to raise the stone with a cantrip, it exploded in a shower of shards. thankfully, they failed to do any damage, yet it served as a reminder that despite pretty looks, this was still a battlefield.
"Shall we?"
Create three essences in preparation. [Edit:] Oh yeah, then go through the portal.
"Indeed. This should be fun."
Two more aether essences, then through the portal.

POT [6+1-2=5]Maybe it was mushrooms releasing spores, maybe it had something to do with opening a portal to other dimension recently, or maybe it was one of other hunderth possible reasons, but all of Crimsons esense creations went out half baked. Yet this did not deter the mage and he ventured forth.

POT [5]Jase crafted fewer esenses than his companion, yet they were of higer quoality. Well, one of them was. Nevertheless, mage followed his friend through the portal arch.
LUCK [8]
The mushroom world proved to be surprisingly nice. Air was breathable, better yet, mushrooms seemed to give off a faint pleasant smell. Temperature seemed to hover at around 23 degrees celsius, whatever wildlife there was, was too small to be a problem. Sky was tinted yellow instead of blue, and was without a single cloud. Suroundings were silent, but not eerily so. It seemed safe, for now at least.
"Tsk. So, this didn't work..."
Whaz looked at his not-so-white-anymore robes and chuckled:
"Still, this is more appropriate outfit for a full-fledged mage like myself."
I venture further into castle deeps, leaving the door for later experiments. If nothing dangerous is found - two shadow essences.

POT [3-1=2]Whaz gave up on the door and the cursed lock, chosing to explore rest of the dungeon instead. Which proved to be smaller than it initialy looked, as Whaz found himself back at the point where he fell in. Seeing no reason to continue exploring, shadow mage conjured a pair of shadow esenses. One was fine, the other did not had the power to make a spell greater. With a dissapointed *tisk*, Whaz refocused his thoughts on his next move.
