Exam: Chamber 1 (OOC)

Since we're testing the system, I wanted to get some insight on what to do next just to try the Hunch spell (You sorta get a sense for what someone else is thinking, or get a hint at what to do next).

Reading through the massive tome (It's a dry but comprehensive encyclopedia) was more like an RP ritual casting. Maybe the spell just makes the encyclopedia open at the right page and it sorta get a hint at what to do next?

OK. Summary as a Hunch? :)

Hope that helps.

Your previous Shield was Wild.

You described it as 'short', though, so maybe you need to recast it to cover a person and extend that far? You have also cast other spells since then, but were also thinking about shield spell variants so you had that spell in mind. If you think you could keep that Shield spell going on the appetisers while searching your book and casting Hunch (a Wizard Spell, so hard for you guys?), then we can say it is still up.

If you need to cast it again, I don't see any need for editing the text, just add the roll. Maybe you need to roll Wild to change the shape of the spell?

Is someone else going to take over preparing the appetisers? Else you could finish the job you started and someone else can use your advice to Shield or cool themselves?

Well, it may fail xD And if I cast wild, I may give it extra power anyway (shield being just the wizardry disguise)

Charcuterie? In this heat? :)

I am not sure what you are rolling for, though. What effect are you trying to achieve?

That works. Describe it.

thought wild was used for anything not magic. guess I don't need to roll. just veggies then....and maybe some.of.the rescued bread

The Wild Stat does sorta cover everything that is not actual Wizard Magic, but we don't have to roll for things that don't drive the story or have interesting consequence on a fail.

On the other hand, not using 'Magic' in a Magic test will draw the attention of the examiners. I don't want to model that as forcing an increase in Wild (the mechanic for such scrutiny), but the more suspicious they are the closer they will watch, and the harder it will be to disguise your actions as Wizard Magic, so that will drive the Wild Stat up as we play.

@CESN, I ran with your suggestion that is may now be too cold [ref]. I hope you don't mind.

But definitely still a Wizard, though, right?
The bread was already a tad doughy, all you two have done is dampened and then singed the crust a bit. You can save enough to still make a slice or two for the plan. Hopefully that will be enough.

The real consequence of the failure (the only one the rules call for) is the increase in Wild. Which for you is particularly bad since you will need to succeed at a impossible Wizard roll to get get it down when it reaches 6... soon.

totally, it's probably not completely harmful because the roll succeeded, but I like the messy side effect :D
ahah go for it! the examiners will probably put it down to "exam nervousness" :D

Being a success it should, on balance, be a positive, which I think it was. Everybody can now get in and finish this test, and the veggies might be nicely crisped.

In truth, I merely meant it to spur everyone to move, not to be an obstacle that needed fixing. I should have been more clear.
