Long live United Forenia!
...wait, did a few loyal Arstotzkans escape into space at the end of the game... AGAIN? Godsdamnit. You people are like cockroaches. Space-cockroaches.
Anyway, you're all lucky I like melodramatic speeches. A more straightforward person would've just unleashed the unfettered power of God on the world without preamble, and who knows what damage that might've done. Can your AM-resistant circuits resist the Holy Word spoken by the Most Merciful God himself?
Also, for those interested, here's my design:
Allawm Bila Rahma (Merciless Censure): For over a quarter of a century, a spell has been locked away, secured in a forgotten temple deep in the desert. All but three of the people who knew its location have been... silenced. It would have been destroyed, but so strong is its connection to the divine that such a thing would be unthinkable heresy.
I speak, of course, of the true form of Tubikh Rrahim. All records of its existence have been expunged- officially, Tubikh Rrahim always had a fairly limited area of effect.
I know better. I was there. I saw the wizard assigned to cast the test spell explode with holy light, I realised that we had tapped too closely into the power of God, and I cut his throat before he could finish casting.
I might as well have cut the throat of a prophet, so intimate was his divine connection. My sin can never be forgiven. I have sacrificed my place in heaven for Moskurg- and given the choice, I would do it again. What is the value of my single soul compared to the souls of an entire continent?
For that is what this war has always been about- not defeating the Arstotzkans, but saving them. There can be no greater outcome than peace, and the marriage of our countries shall show the heathens the glory of God, paving their way to conversion and redemption.
So. There are those who would threaten this outcome. Unacceptable. They would turn their holy gifts of magic against the heirs of Forenia- against the will of God? I shall not let them. I have sacrificed my soul already, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life in this final battle.
Allawm Bila Rahma takes the portion of Tubikh Rrahim that limits the amount of divine power called upon, and throws it out the window. The caster briefly becomes a direct avatar of God, a vessel through which His power can flow unfettered into this world. Naturally, this not only burns out the caster's ability to ever cast magic again, but also has a tendency to burn out other things, like vital organs.
In exchange for this sacrifice, Allawm Bila Rahma delivers the word of god to all magic within a ludicrous radius, and that word is NO.
Plan: Observe the wedding. Let others deal with the minor spells and lesser assassins. My focus shall be on their trump card, whatever it may be. The second I see magic being called upon too powerful to be stopped by conventional means, I shall unleash JUDGEMENT upon the world.
Faction: Peace.
It was inspired by our first attempt at Tubikh Rrahim, when eS accidentally suggested it would affect an entire theatre at once. He, uh, dialed that back a bit quite quickly.
