A Magical Thread

[Drakey]

You are in a darkened room, save for a light against one wall. This light illuminates a great carving.

It says:

~water~
/stone\
+earth+
^fire^
'air'
|thunder|
%Storm%
=divine=
>evil<
#necromancy#
!Sonic/telepathic!
@teleportation@
&summoning&
-vanishing-
(stealth)
\Fortune Telling/
?mysterious?

When you touch the wall, you feel strange, as though a vast power is overcoming you.
Suddenly, you are @teleported@ into another realm, one of =gods= and >demons<, where wizards of all descriptions rule!
And you are one of them! All magic is at your fingertips, if only you will use it, and what better place to test your newfound power than the arena?

As you pass those hallowed gates, a '!voice booms from the heavens!'.
"All of your spells are to be cast by putting them in the brackets of the type of magic they are, and describing their effects! Soon, you shall be tested! Furthermore, you must narrate your own actions. What do I look like, some kind of a writer? This is something like a cross between the action thread and a freeform RP thread, so while you'll have characters, they'll be essentially indestructable, and you get to add more detail if you want. You can also do the bare-bones minimum, but that would probably seem a little redundant. What? No, I said I wanted ham and turkey, not a BLT. Take it back.... Oh, shit, it's still on! Uhhh... where's that swi--"

Drakey walks into the arena to the roar of a crowd, likely because he is crazy. He waits for others to join him.

[Silfedac]

Oniel joins Drakey in the arena, saying "These strange rules of magic confuse and intrigue me. Good thing I bought a tiny replica of that carving in the Darkened Room Gift Shop, or I'd totally forget all those rules."

[Silfedac]

"What does storm magic have to do with bubbles?"

[SpriteMeister]

"Why, I'm making miniature storms in the pool, of course."

[Silfedac]

"...of course. I assume they're not electrical storms? Those might not turn out so well."

(Sneakily dives into pool)
"Ha ha, bubbles!" Rainbow Sunshine begins washing her hair.

[Pieman]

Damn you filters for making me read that as 'and supplies it'.

[Silfedac]

"I'm not surprised, considering that's what it says."

[Ziggy Stardust]

*Watches game over Torg's shoulder*

[Silfedac]

"Well, if no one's using them..."
*Steals Spritemeister's harem while he's distracted*
