Hey Ltheb dude!

U_K!
I like the examples of the Reaving and Eclipsing abilities.

Thanks. Giving my abilities a quick glance I have 60 weapon properties - but that includes those from the Bestiary.

However I am sure I will come up with about 75-80 in the final book.

What about the opposite/counter? Like a Banal enhancement, that would negate all of the enhancements on both yours' and your foes' weapons that are shared. (So if I had a Flaming Banal sword and my foe had a flaming shock sword, I now have just a vanilla sword with no powers, and my foe only has his shock power) So In essence you could forge the "anti-sword" to counter a rival's ubersword.

Might be easier to just use the Negating ability I have, whereby your opponents top weapon power is nullified.

Howdy!

Now where did I put my half-golem thri-keen dervish stats?

Thats the general idea.

Very interesting. Will the cosmic string be a whip-like weapon?

Thats the plan.

Is the BHS something special or "just" a shield made of black hole matter?

The latter.

Dude. I hope your stats for a cosmic string will be as utterly absurd and epic as the actual theoretical cosmic strings are, which are listed on the geocide list.

Cosmic strings are hypothetical 1-dimensional defects in spacetime, left over from earlier phases of the universe, somewhat like cracks in ice. They are potentially universe-spanning objects, thinner than a proton but with unimaginable density - one Earth mass per 1600m of length! All you need to do is get a cosmic string near Earth, and it'll be torn apart, shredded, and sucked in. Probably the entire rest of the solar system would be too.

Now that's phenominal. Wielding such a thing as a WEAPON....

That was the inspiration behind the weapon. Although obviously it would typically only be a few metres long in this instance.

Although I have been thinking about an illustration on two time lords fighting and one has a shield made out of a spiral galaxy and wields a reality tear shard, the other would have a cosmic string cat o'nine-tails.

Upper_Krust, you're my hero.

Love it! Go with that.

Win.

Dude, you're insane.
I mean... wow.

Hey all!

Okay, here is a partial (epic) spell list for the Grimoire.

At the moment I probably have 100+ spells, but about a third of those are simply existing spells upscaled, so I won't be counting those against my eventual 100 spell goal.

Here are a few:

Alter Ego
Astral Death
Deus Ex Machina
Excommunicate
Overkill (which I think someone here suggested a few years ago)
Thrice Holy

then you have your natural disasters...

Earthquake (Higher Richter scale variants)
Hurricane
Ice Age
Mega-Lightning
Meteor
Volcano

then you have progressions of existing spells...

Prismatic Aurora
Vorpal Bladebarrier
Labyrinth (Mass Maze)
Pandemonium (Mass Insanity)
Apostle (Chain Charm)
Exodus (Chain Fear)

the mad stuff...

Million Murderous Swords
Twice Void

...in fact is that 20 already - I guess I must have more than 100 spells then, because that didn't make a dent in my list. I didn't even get a chance to outline some of the Portfolio based spells or even the new damage based spells. I guess those can wait for another time.

In the meantime if you have any epic spells of your own, or simply (one line) epic spell ideas feel free to post them here.
