The fortunate thing about having an excess of mana, or perhaps an unfortunate side effect depending on how Joe thought of it, was that he could continuously work for extreme lengths of time when he was providing a simple trickle of mana such as converting garbage to aspects. With his bonuses, eve...

“Wait, this shouldn’t be happening…?” Coming fully to his senses, Joe managed to flip around in midair as he shook off the final lingering effects of whatever it was Havoc had dosed him with. “I don't even have defensive rituals ready! Havoc, you son of a-!”

Then he lan...

Even though Havoc protested, the first thing Joe did when they got back to the settlement was take a nap. Something about combat, perhaps getting his foot chopped off, had really put him in a bad place mentally and he needed to sleep it off.

When he woke up, he felt wildly refreshed and rea...

Curling into a ball in a vain attempt to impact his attacker’s aim, Joe slammed into the wall and fell to the grounds as a dizzying array of projectiles were launched at him.

Fire, ice, pressurized air, arrows, bolts, bullets, throwing knives… whatever someone had, they used it against ...

He was too fa...

It seemed to take almost no time at all for Joe to complete the next four Rituals of Minor Earthquake, as well as the associated receiving ritual portion of the Ritual of Remote Activation. Major Cleave, apparently now holding him in a higher regard, also helped Joe by taking a few moments and sm...

One of the things that Joe had learned during his time in the military was that engineers were only ever a gentle push away from shifting into full-blown sappers. Anything that promised even the potential to step away from creation to beautiful, cascading destruction was a career path th...

“Major Cleave, I’ve decided to assign my Intelligence to this Orb and hope for the best!” Joe declared as he began lightly coating the entire exterior of the Orb with the purest of white aspects. “Don’t try to stop me, this is something I need to do!”

“No, no…” Cleave call...
