Shards of Memory--Act I: The Boundless Void

"Well, I have to admit I can never really get excited about flashy Evocation killing spells, but that's more because I dislike violence than because I'm a school elitist," Valyssa admits.

(OOC: D'oh! That's what I get for using Google as a spellchecker (all of my spellcheckers do it the other way). I always thought that it was weird that major and minor wouldn't be symmetrical. )

[SBLOCK]“Well I don’t have a lot of those, they comprise less that one-sixth of my spell knowledge...even less if you count cantrips, though there are flashy killing spells in other schools too and I do have a few of those. Hmm, I really think you should learn one or two though, just in case you need to defend yourself, as your mind magic won’t effect certain types of creatures. Of course certain creatures are resistant or immune to flashy Evocation spells too, but it’s good to be able to react to anything.”

OOC: Google as a spellchecker, that’s a good one...half the time you don’t even know if you’re getting english or a bad translation. [/SBLOCK]

"Well, not [I[everything[/I] I have is mind magic--I have a good number of non-aggressive spells as well. I feel that the best way to protect myself is to have magic that can help me escape. I would never want to kill anyone, so it works out fine for me."

(OOC: Well, I only accept Google's results if there are a number of hits at least in the 10,000s.)

[SBLOCK]“Well I didn’t expect it to be all you had, but I was correct in my assumption that you had no other form of offensive capability. As long as you can escape I’m happy, though at times you may want to be able to defend others as well.”

OOC: I see you’ve been off tormenting the D&D Rules Forum. [/SBLOCK]

"Well, I can defend others using defensive spells or mind control."

(OOC: It's fun!)

[SBLOCK]“Well I was speaking if mind control doesn’t work, but each to his or her own I say...at least our abilities will compliment each other,” Zaeryn replies, giving Valyssa a kiss.

OOC: I know I had fun poking at Hypersmurf a while back about 3.5 flanking...he just sticks with the same arguement and won’t answer any queries that fall outside his position...it's quite humourous to say the least. [/SBLOCK]

"Yes, at least they do compliment each other well. I'm sorry, Zaeryn, but I just don't like hurting people."

[SBLOCK]“I don’t like it either Valyssa and given the choice I won’t, but sometimes they just don’t give you a choice.”[/SBLOCK]

[SBLOCK=Zaeryn]
"There's always another choice. It may not be one you like, but there always is one."

[SBLOCK]“Yes, certainly I could let people die, but that’s not a choice I’m prepared to make,” Zaeryn replies, a frown crossing his face...after several moments his frown changes back to a smile as he embraces Valyssa tightly, “Well this is far too dark a topic for the bed my love, and I really don’t want to argue on such a happy night...”[/SBLOCK]
