Turn 217
Now smash it and observe the results.
The cube crashed into the rocky ground and shattered. With the first crack that appeared, blinding light spilled forth, forcing Cuberac to cover his eyes. Afterwards, there were only a few shards of mirror glass left.
It appears I may need to delay the ritual for a bit while I prepare better sacrifes.
Summon 2 blades (2 spells)

Skeliborn conjured some more blades, one a rapier and the other a short-sword. Now those would certainly do, they had plenty of swordyness and yet enough differences.
Enchant the regeneration ring to massively [-3 CMP] improve the wearer's Luck with unstable, chaotic, and/or collapsing essences. 3 +1/+1 essences, one +2/+2 essence.

Gambler focused his power on his regeneration ring and turned. Strands of fate were twisted and redirected, the magic itself working to further Gambler's goals. The ring glimmered softly, catching the light just so, seemingly entirely by accident. This, this could very well be his best work yet.
{Ring of Fortune, +3 LUCK, regeneration.}
Summon a bird that is similar to one of these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_honeyguide but instead of searching for beehives, it searches for treasure unclaimed by a mage then leads me to it, use 5 +1/+1 essences

Seva called forth a bird that wasn't. It was a fairly difficult job, calling a bird and then modifying it before it materialized. When it came it had feathers that had colour of gold and it immediately homed in on the crystal bird. It chirped at it and then returned to Seva, where it chirped again. The crystal bird seemed slightly confused by this.
Make some basic tools that are made from nanobots. Perhaps an axe or the like (which aren't grey goo).

Marcus, unsatisfied with his grey goo attempt, decided to go for simpler and more instant means. In this case, the more instant mean was a hand ax built from nanobots holding themselves together. Not as durable as a solid item but far easier to repair.
Doktor Diabolical:
"Soon, yes, soon I will be ready to start the ritual. Wait. The aether resonance matrix. Need to remember to call it that. My scientist friends would never take me seriously if I called it a ritual. Unless, of course, it was an actual ritual. Like the one with the string and the demon and the boline that was supposed to turn you into a vampire. But this is nothing like that. Yes."
3 more essences in preparation for the creation of the final ritual sacrifice.

Doktor almost had all the material required for his aether resonance matrix project. Definitely not a ritual. Those had candles, and drawings on the ground and creepy people in robes. Doktor wore clothes that were more practical than robes, so no danger there.
fine by me.

Chorkinaan conjured some extra power while he waited. Soon, he'd be able to get to work again.

Easter conjured some more power in preparation for some future work. Like developing those eggs further. Or making some more giant wasps. Either way, someone will probably be horrified.
