((Anyways, character have a Majyyks stat, which seemingly gets reduced by casting spells))

((And you need to read the spell in order to cast it))

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS. HOW. PLEASE TELL ME HOW I MISSED THIS. I LITERALLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW I COULD HAVE MISSED SOMETHING AS BIG AS SOMEONE LEAVING. SERIOUSLY.
Alos, Fire minions can be summoned *infinitely* but One, they wear off after a while depending how strong they are (We one's finish quickly, stronger ones last longer) And two, the stronger they are the more Energy they require to summon. Since Matchsticks can run out of energy (can't do consecutive casting) He can't summon infinite Minions. Also, Fire Minions = Flaming Skeletons or Angels made of Fire.
BUT SERIOUSLY. WHAT.))

((ok what is your limit for using spells, ive set my limit for slick b to be two consecutive nightnight attempts or one large battle using shadow magic/ two small battles, whats yours?))

((and yeah you need to read the chatterbox otherwise you miss these things, you dont need to read back just start from today but you need to read it everytime you log on otherwise you will miss things like this))

((Think of Matchsticks limit in reflection too PI's Imagination bar. Casting a spell costs an 16th of the bar. Summoning a weak minion takes a 32nd of the bar. Strong minion= 16th. Pyrotechnesis = 128th of the bar per 5 seconds. Fire porting = 256th of the bar. Regeneration causes magic supercharge (basically, whilst Matchsticks is dying his cast limit is maximized.)
I think this makes sense, agreed?))

((no to the regeneration we agreed no timelord stuff))

((Agreed. Other than that, looks good.

And I'm honestly surprised that people don't read our MAIN OOC DISCUSSION AREA and expect not to miss stuff. This isn't even the first time this hapen'd.))

((Besides the thing about regeneration, I also feel the need to point out that imagination does NOT work like that))

((All three stats in PS work the same, you have a current and a maximum stat))

((The maximum says how much you can possibly raise your current stat))

((Your current stat then defines which abilities you can possibly hope to use))

((Using my imaginary powers does NOT reduce my imagination stat, just like using my vim does not reduce my vim or using my pulchritude does not reduce my pulchritude))

((So how do we decide how much stuff Matchsticks can do))

((No no no, not like that. I'm using the Imagination bar as an example of how large the mana bar that he can use is. And thats ok if Matchsticks can't regenerate, but can he keep the 2 hearts and the Dying magic buff? Please? I just think It would be really cool if Matchsticks started a giant storm of fire when he dies. Pleeeeaaaaasssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.))

((Hm... I don't think two hearts will affect anything, really, so I guess if everyone else's ok with it... as for the magic buff, I'm not too sure about that. Nobody else goes all OP when they die.))

((What says its OP? It doesn't increase the effectiveness of the spell, It just increases the Mana at his disposal. For example, The Flaming Rain spell is usually like A DoT for enemies because its like a local cloud burst. With more mana at his disposal, he can cast a Storm instead of A Cloudburst. The Damage isn't increased, but the area the damage effects is.))

((You mean when he's about to die or when he's effectively dead?))

((Effectively.))

((So like a corpsesplode? Only an actual explosion?))

((either way im not sure about that, you said the spell needs to be read out, thats been decided already, if your effectively dead there is no way you would have the concentration to pull of a spell like that

use slick as an example, he is using magic that is formed by thought as opposed to words, he has almost no limits (in universe) to his control over shadows, and yet when hes about to die in the battle with pi he just launches shadow with no control over it, thats why we did the random thing

any form of magic that is more than innate unconscious action should be impossible when effectively dead))

((I agree with Silck, reading a spell takes concentration, something you usually don't have while dying))

((Corpsesplode, except Matchsticks turns to ash and he gets a couple of seconds to direct the power from the explosion into a spell.))

((no he cannot direct it because he is distract by the OH MY FUCKING GPI THE PAIN IT HURTS SO MUCH))

((I did not know people turning to ash retained a nervous system.))
((Oh god I am going to get pounded so hard for saying that.))

((no thats fine but i did not know people turning to ash had enough consciousness to cast spells))

(( Since when did everything turn to ash at once? Ok fine he can just explode. Sorry, i'm kind of stuck to the idea that magic explodes from mage's bodies when they die. Unless it's Harry Potter, in which case of course not.

((ok so explain us nightnight crew then

we are all shadow mages and yet only one of us exploded when we died and he was the splosion dude))
