[shittywizard]

so anyone around here DTF?

(D)own (T)o get (F)ireballed

i'm bored and feel like blowing something up and i figured maybe somebody has defensive powers and wants to spar*


*not the kind of sparring where i get hit, because that kind sucks. just the kind where you practice dodging and defensive magic or whatever you have while i magic missile you over and over.

I have some defensive spells and Shouts, and I have a natural resistance to fire, of course.

[shittywizard]

how do you do with acid, ice, or tentacles?

Magic Missile?

I don't have any defensive powers but I want to get better at dodging. [Also he wants to see Magic Missile in action, so sue him.]

[shittywizard]

and other spells, it's not like i'm level one

how good are you at dodging now?

i'm still getting used to the heightened agility so some practice with it wouldn't be so bad.

can you at least heal if someone gets too hurt?

[shittywizard]

no

my housemate's a cleric tho so he'll either heal you or get distracted and zone of truth you
possibly both

[governorkang]

I don't really have much in the way of defensive spells, but it probably wouldn't hurt to practice them.

I'm curious about your world, too. I didn't think there was anyone else here that used the same magic system as my own.

[shittywizard]

there's a bunch of us here from the same world
i haven't found anyone else who's magic matches up though

[baphlement]

I got your fireball right here.

[shittywizard]

the second best kind of fireball!
are you offering

[continuousgroaning]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[shittywizard]

tomato tomato


hmm that doesn't work very well in text huh

[fauxmarth]

Perhaps not defensive POWERS, per se, but I'd love the opportunity to test my speed and skill evading magic once again. It's been quite some time.

[shittywizard]

how much time is "quite some"?

[hellosirs]

[ SUDDENLY QUESTIONING TAAKO'S COPING METHODS... ]

Sir, please don't actually set anyone on fire!

[shittywizard]

[ It's not a coping method, it's training!! Ostensibly. ]

well the idea is they'd dodge it

That hardly seems like an equal trade.

It's also a far boring use of DTF.

[shittywizard]

i get practice + they get practice = we both get practice
that sounds equal

also how are explosions ever boring

[youresovein]

Pass!

[shittywizard]

what no academic curiosity this time?

Text.

[craftpunk]

Why?

And also: this sounds more like you want to shoot fish in a barrel than practice anything.

[shittywizard]

why what?

the practice is the doing magic part
obviously
and the dodging part for them
