Once cast it causes the target to appear as if glowing a bluish light. The light will illuminate an area of up to 3ft from the target. Practioners above first level can control the color for one extra PPE at the time of casting. If cast on a person it does not interfere with vision. The glow is barely visible in full daylight. It can not be cast on a specific body part (like the eyes), but can target a individuals items (like a weapon). The spell will not illuminate an area larger then man size (such as a horse). Player: I cast glow on the sword and the go to the local armorer's shop. I explain to the armorer that it is a magic sword. GM: Ok the armorer calls in the local mage to cast sense magic on the weapon. The mage confirms that the sword appears magical. The armorer pays you a handsome price for such a rare weapon. Player: I collect the money and smile. Then I beat feet out of town before the spell wears of. Beast Call Range: 500 ft Duration: Instant P.P.E.: 5 When an animal (regardless of its affiliation with shaman) dies, the shaman can use up five P.P.E. to absorb five times the P.P.E. base of the fallen creature or ten P.P.E., whichever is highest. The Ritual is Instantaneous, but will not work if the beast is killed by technological means Bladder Burst Range: One person per every three levels of experience Duration: Instant Saving Throw: None P.P.E.: One This spell will increase the moisture content and pressure within a specific target's bladder. This disastrously results in the victim wetting himself uncontrollably, soaking his trousers with pungent urine. -4 to P.B. until cleaned up. The opposite of this spell will mystically evaporate pent-up fluids in the bladder, negating the need to relieve oneself for at least 6 hours. Very useful when drinking heavily. Curse: Beast Eyes Range: 60 feet Duration: Two hours per level. Saving Throw: 12 or better (does not change). P.P.E.: 40 This is a powerful curse that can only be used on humans and intelligent life forms, and can only be broken with an anti-curse spell. This curse inflicts the victim with a life-long fear of animals. He is petrified of all animals, specifically their eyes. 5 Defense: Odor Secretion Range: Can be smelled for 600 ft. Duration: One week per level. Saving Throw: None P.P.E.: 5 The shaman can secrete a powerful resin that has a highly potent smell. The resin cannot be removed by technological or magic means and will disperse with time. The smell is so strong and repulsive that no one will want to go near or touch the object or area affected for the spell duration. Essence Armor Range: Self Duration: One melee round per level of experience Damage: 1D6 per two levels of experience Saving Throw: Special P.P.E.: 10 This spell creates a hazy black aura around the caster. Whenever he touches, or is touched by a living being, that being must roll a saving throw versus magic. If the saving throw is successful, the being suffers normal damage. If it fails, a S.D.C being will suffer damage directly to hit points, and a M.D.C. being will suffer damage that cannot be bio-regenerated for 1D4 hours. This spell will affect anyone in light or medium body armor. Essence Bolt Range: 100 feet (30m) Duration: Instant Damage: 3D6 SDC, plus 1D6 per two levels of experience Saving Throw: Dodge, plus Special P.P.E.: One This spell causes a pitch black bolt to streak forth from the caster to the target.

INTRODUCTION by Richard Bartle The original MUD was conceived, and the core written, by Roy Trubshaw in his final year at Essex University in 1980. When I took over as the game's maintainer and began to expand the number of locations and commands at the player's disposal I had little inkling of what was going to happen. First it became a cult among the university students. Then, with the advent of Packet Switch Stream (PSS), MUD began to attract players from outside the university - some calling from as far away as the USA and Japan! MUD proved so popular that it began to slow down the Essex University DEC-ro for other users and its availability had to be restricted to the middle of the night.

Throughout middle school and high school my friends and I would gather almost every weekend, spending hours using numbers, probability, and optimization to build models that we could use to simulate almost anything. That’s right. My big secret is simple. I was a high school mathematical modeler. Of course, our weekend mathematical models didn’t bear any direct relationship to the models we explored in our mathematics and science classes.

  • Technically Witches: in Witch We Discuss Witches in Video Games
    TCNJ JOURNAL OF STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP VOLUME XXI APRIL 2019 Technically Witches: In Witch We Discuss Witches in Video Games What is better-- to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? —Paarthurnax, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Author: Nina Navazio Faculty Sponsor: Michelle Tarter, Department of English ABSTRACT AND INTRODUCTION There is a new frontier. Not the wild west, not even space; no, something much closer to home is sweeping through the nation and has been for decades: video games. Video games have taken the world by storm, exponentially growing in popularity. There are games for everyone and everything, from being stranded in the ocean to hitting a white ball back and forth. There are now hundreds of different genres of video games and, now commonly stocked with writing teams, video games are considered a literary art form as they craft storylines and adventures into a brand new experience that is different than their original paperback counterparts. These new experiences are full of creative characters and endless escapades, but these characters have yet to be fully scrutinized. Thus, the question has yet to be asked: How are witches portrayed in video games? To attempt to answer this question, there must be a sampling from the three major genres of video games: role-playing games known as RPGs , farming simulation games known as farming sims, and multiplayer platform / adventure games (Tassi). Thus, the games The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Stardew Valley, and Trine 3: The Artifacts of Power were chosen to represent these respective genres and their portrayal of witches.

We need some light!” Master-at-arms Nicholas Sharpe shouted loudly into the wind in order to be heard by his fellow knights on the bridge. A fair young man ran forward, shielding his blazing torch from the anger of the winter storm. “Th ank you, Squire Th eodore. Now, let us see what damage has been done.” Half a dozen men stood around as fi relight fl ickered over the fallen masonry. It was a life-sized statue of a knight which had come crashing down from the castle heights an hour aft er midnight, when the storm had been at its most ferocious. Th e crash had been loud enough to raise the alarm. “Th at’s more than a thousand pounds of solid stone,” Sharpe said, peering up into the darkness from whence it had plummeted. “Must’ve been a wicked gust to move it. “We can’t leave it here,” he added. “Get hold of it. On three we’ll lift .” Th ere was some jostling as the knights moved closer, every man packing himself as close to the statue as possible. “One… two… three!” Sharpe counted out, and on his last call the small group of men lift ed the marble statue with a collective RRunescape_Betrayalunescape_Betrayal atat Falador_130x198UK.inddFalador_130x198UK.indd 7 118/08/20108/08/2010 116:536:53 8 RUNESCAPE groan of eff ort. “Carry him to the courtyard.
