A path.
What lies ahead is an old dirt road. A country path, trod by generations of feet. Yet the fields beyond are filled with blue grass, as white winds blow into those grasses. Yet the winds are stopped by it as you walk on, the party looking on ahead.
Alyssa tries to will some birds of blue to fly on the white to see what happens.
Cha check real quick.

Sorry to interrupt but I wasn't sure where else to put this: Is Moore helping with this or not? I got the impression he was but wasn't clear.
If he is, then you still have +16 as an aura.
Let me get an answer there first, Iddy.
Oh, I thought you were just heading here with me. If you want to help, absolutely.
No worries! In that case let's say he took you there so you can learn without training wheels. Sorry for the interruption!
Birds of blue spring up and fly out. They go into the rain, soon gone within it.
"Useful," Jarem says, "Assuming they do anything or you need birds for some reason."
Ianvasah smiles faintly at your evocation of birds before, "Moore?"
Bastian walks along the path, as if it's the most natural thing to do.
"Experiment. We now know that an equivalent amount of white will negate with. We know I can create some facsimile of life. If a monster of white shows, I should be able to negate it with one of Creation."
It's more effective here than it is outside, Alyssa.
Don't count on the Far Realm to be consistent, immensely more if you're in the Beyond itself.
It's a tool, not an omnipurpose panacea.
"Very good point, but it's an excellent tool for this place. That said, I have a few other things to test..."
Alyssa pulls another ball of Blue to her and tries to manipulate the density of it, trying to make it more concentrated.
You create a ball, about as blue as the other balls you've made. It doesn't look any different.
"Can we do it as well?" Emily asks, "Or do you need the words to do it?"
"It seems to me the Words are method of framing the concept in a way your mind is prepared."
Alyssa holds the ball up for the others to see.
"This isn't a ball of blue. It's a construct that encompasses the concept of reality. Of Creation. This is the very idea of Creation in a form that we can understand in order to manipulate it. How that actually functions is slightly different for everyone, because everyone interprets it differently."
Alyssa lobs the ball at Jarem, trying to get it to flow into and around his weapon, to empower the weapon, focusing on the concept of the blue being the bane of white and trying to bring a hunger for the destruction of white to the weapon.
"Ah!" Jarem says, sword drawn back, but the ball seeks it. "Warn me next time," he snaps.
Bastian smiles ever so slightly at that, as the sword tints blue...but it only lasts a few moments and fades away.
"Hm. So it's like weaponizing Creation around us?" Emily proposes. "Like throwing bits of it at Beyond?"
"It's not just weaponizing. I created life with those birds. It would take a lot more research to tell if it was more of a construct than life, but imagine those lines are a bit blurred here.
Jarem, blade up."
Alyssa forms another ball of Creation with the same concept as before, but attempts to leave a thread of it connected to the larger concept of Creation that surrounds them to fuel and feed the energy for it.
Well, that's an interesting idea. Charisma here.

There is a loud BOOM and crackle, Jarem jerking his sword back. The entire blade rings like a bell several times before it goes quiet.
"The fuck was that?" Bastian growls, shielding his face with his arms in an X.
"Experimentation," Emily calls, "That happens sometimes!"
"I'm trying to anchor the concept of blue negating white into your sword. Sort of like a Bane for the Beyond. It faded so quickly before I thought it ran out of energy so I tried to tether it to the Creation around us. Now I think it might function more like a spell, with limited time.
Moore, any ideas?"
"What? As in Creation itself?" Dolmaya says slowly, "Foolishness! What vessel wouldn't be overfilled and burst like a broken potion bottle!"
Jarem checks his sword over and sheathes it. "Let's test on expendable weapons next. EXPENDABLE." Jarem emphasizes that loudly, firmly. "In case it goes all wrong."
Emily hms, "An expendable weapon and try it a few more times, to see if the result changes."
"I'm not sure you can augment things like that." He says. "That sword, as an example, is already a thing of Creation and has its own rules to it. I don't think you can add 'beyond slaying' to something like that... I think it has to already have been made as something with that specific purpose. Does that make sense?" He asks.
"As another example, I think if you create a sword here, it's always going to be as good or as bad as it is when you make it. But maybe that's an idea? Try and make something, then try and improve on it like you would a normal weapon."
"It was less filling it and more layering it on. I thought I had to anchor it to it, but maybe it would do that on its own... but we'll see..."
Alyssa tries to pull a anvil into existence from the Blue.
Cha only.
Cha/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+35 : 16 + 35, total 51[/blockquote]
An anvil is created, so much easier than before.
Lays pulls the silver dagger she got as a gift so long ago.
"Alright, now I need fire..."
Alyssa tries to form a perfect forge, complete with fire.

Con/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+32 : 19 + 32, total 51[/blockquote]
You stumble - no pain, but the fires of the forge are blue. It appears nonetheless.
Alyssa shakes herself a bit and starts to work!
Moore, for his part, simply stands and watches!
Okay, what precisely are you trying to do?
Same as with Jarem's sword. Trying to make it some sort of Beyond Bane or linking it to a larger pool of Creation energy so that it eats away/negates White/Beyond stuff.
Gimme Cha again.

The dagger flashes blue, before it breaks apart into a hundred pieces that dissolve into blue.
"Well, drat. Any idea what went wrong, Moore?"
"It blew up?" Bastian offers, 'helpfully'.
"That was more dissolved into blue, like beer foam," Jarem shakes his head, "Strange thing to see with a dagger."
"I wonder if it might have overloaded from the energy and been erroded back into the energy... If so, we can try to just... shove tons of energy into something to errode it. Or I can just dump something White or from the Beyond into a sea of blue."
"I still think the issue is like trying to add something to something that simply can't stand it. Why not try and think of... I don't know, some non-descript 'blue' metal and try and 'forge' it?"
Alyssa tries to do just that!

A few ingots of a blue metal appear, as desired.
Alyssa starts forging!
Try to make a long sword here. Same properties as before.
Charisma again, then a Craft (Weaponsmithing) check.

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+72 : 7 + 72, total 79[/blockquote]
You begin to forge it - and it seems only in moments that you have a blue metal longsword, as desired.
Alyss inspects it!
It's a blue metal longsword. It looks reasonably well made on a glance.
Can I tell if it has any Bane or damage to Beyond or white thingies?
In that case make Spellcraft, I thought you were just looking at it.
Spellcraft/Cunning Knowledge:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+84 : 17 + 84, total 101[/blockquote]
Moore's curious too, so he checks it out!
Take 10 for 103 on spellcraft.
It's a sword. The Weave is there but it's also strangely different, and more than anything else, seems unstable.
Anything I can do to figure out how to stabilize it?
Not that you know. Feel free to experiment.
"Hmm.. It seems unstable. Not sure how to stabilize it. Any ideas?"
"Um... hm." Moore scratches his cheek.
Oh!
"Whole."

The sword gets bluer - before it bursts apart like the knife.
"I think that wasn't quite the intent?" Jarem suggests, "It looks like it got more blue."
"There's definitely a limit to how much blue something can have," Xandra comments.
Alyssa nods, "Yes, it seems so... Hmm... Still, I should make a weapon for field testing. Any volunteers and requests?"
"I would say just focus on making some easy-to-use weapon." Moore says.
"Probably," Jarem says, "Don't overthink it right now. Keep it simple."
Alyssa starts work on another longsword then!
I could use a skill buff, please!
You then have +13 to skill checks for the next ten minutes.
Cha/Moore:

Weaponsmith/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+61 : 19 + 61, total 80[/blockquote]
Another longsword is made, just like the last.
Alyssa offers it to one of the others, "Well, let's go try it, I suppose. "
Jarem takes it, giving it a swing. "Heavier than it looks. It's closer to being a greatsword or a maul in weight," he observes.
"Hm. Maybe the strengthening worked. Just into the ingots."
A nod at that as...
Marching order?
I'll let Iddy decide if this is okay, but I'd say Alyssa, Jarem, Bastian, Dolmaya, Emily, Xandra, Jetina, Moore.
Sure, confirmation whenever the Iddy gets out of meeting fun.
Works.
Thus you move on. The white is held at bay, at least for now, as you walk on. Ahead on the side of the road looks to be a small roadside inn, including stables. It's pretty run down but intact, a single sign with grapes and a mug on it.
Alyssa raises an eyebrow but heads towards it.
Moore and company follow suit!
"Usually these places are representations of various qualities we embody." Moore says. "I'm guessing this particular place emphasizing the 'wandering' aspect."
"That or Alyssa has a drinking problem," Bastian adds as you follow.
"If you have a drinking problem, you aren't drinking enough," Jarem retorts back, getting a chuckle.
As you approach, you find that the door is ajar and the windows are too grimy to see through. At least the front ones are, anyway.
Alyssa frowns and tries to use her TK to clean some of the grime off.
It doesn't budge. It's caked on.
"Something meaningful or flawed... Perhaps a disregard for places I've left?
But for now.... Clean and Whole.
Alyssa tries to use the words to get this place into acceptable shape.
Cha/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+31 : 9 + 31, total 40[/blockquote]
[Con/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+32 : 6 + 32, total 38[/blockquote]
Nothing immediately happens.
You feel faint momentarily, but the grime and wear begin to reverse themselves.
120 damage, Alyssa.
Alyssa stumbles a little.
"It certainly didn't like that. That was the first thing here that resisted."
Alyssa heads in slowly
"Hold on," Xandra says, going to Alyssa and putting a hand on her shoulder. "You need healing first."
"On it." Moore says.
He'll use a Heal. Yes, Jetina could do it, but if we end up fighting something she'll be using them anyway and Moore won't be.
Healing washes over Alyssa, restoring her energy from that effort.
Alyssa shivers a bit at the magic washing over her, "Thank you. Have you tried using the words to heal here?"
"I haven't, actually." Moore says. "I know they can be used for it normally. I'll try that next time."
"Was wondering if we could use it to mimic spells. A Blue lightening bolt would likely be more effective."
With that Alyssa heads in.
It's an empty tavern at first glance. Nothing...interesting?
Perception all.
Perception/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+61 : 14 + 61, total 75[/blockquote]
Take 10 for 92.
Don't need to roll the others in that case.
Yet it's not right. At the edges it peels. Frays away. Like something that's there but not. Like a covering.
"...Ugh, I remember dealing with something like this." Moore says. "See what you can do to will the truth to appear."
Ko note: DM approved edit, rolls are valid. They both sort of sucked anyway.
Alyssa looks around suspiciously at the place and then, "Tell me the Truth of your story"

Are you trying to say all of that in the WoC, Iddy? Remember most bursts of the words are very short and for a good reason.
No, the keyword is WoC. Rest is just for RP. I guess I should have highlighted truth or something.
Please do. Go ahead and edit to signify what you're doing there with it so I can grasp it.
A painful jolt through Alyssa, leaving her momentarily gasping for air. The walls and all of this place seem to recoil from that, like they were physically struck.
210 damage, Alyssa.
Yet slowly it changes. Walls of blue, windows of blue. Everything of blue, yet outside is all white now. Endless white, empty and nothing at all.
"Ow. It really resisted that. It looks like this is the last bastion of Creation. Paralleling the fight against Shar, is it? How do we make our little bastion stronger and grow? Much like our new home..."
Moore has Jetina handle a Heal spell for her!
"Well, I suppose that depends on what you'd like to see in a place like this." Moore says cheerfully. "It seemed like this was intended to be a tavern."
"Moore, could you?" Xandra asks, while Bastian goes to a window, Ianvasah with him.
"It's just empty," he says at last, "There's nothing here."
"Hmm... if it's something you'd see in a tavern, how about..." he considers, then nods. "I've got it! Let me try this. It'll take a few minutes, though."
He's going to cast Heroes Feast but try and use Words for bits and pieces of it to see if he can infuse it with Blueness.

A blue tinted feast is made, sure enough.
"Blue?" Emily murmurs, going to inspect it. "Is it safe to eat?"
"I have no doubt." Moore says as he grabs a piece of bread to take a bite out of it.
Alyssa watches with interest.
It tastes how you'd expect it to taste.
Dolmaya inspects it, "Not the most appetizing color," she observes.
"Well?" Emily asks Moore after a moment.
Alyssa tries some.
"It doesn't taste any different to me." Moore says. "Which isn't really a surprise, is it? We're all 'of blue,' so this would just be normal."
"It's fine. Let's see if we can grow the blue here."
Moore gestures to Alyssa. "I'll support you however I can."
It tastes like what Alyssa would expect. As the others save Emily try some, "It's food. I've had this spell before," Bastian says, "Nice, but hardly special."
"It might be, or it doesn't change everything it touches?" Dolmaya says, "Not every reagent affects every spell."
Alyssa looks out of the window and tries to conjure a bit of blue.
A bit of blue is conjured, just as desired.
Alyssa tosses it out into the White.
There's an actual window in the way of that. You could open or break it, you suppose.
Alyssa goes to the door and throws it out.
You throw it out into the white. It flies out and...fades away as it goes, eventually gone.
"So it isn't an instant consuming... This is supposed to be a test... A run down tavern. A place of gathering, stories, and people. A place for wanderers. Moore, this place has food now, let's give it something else it lacks: Music! Let's zet our stage and see if we can pull people in, reinforce this places' existence and purpose. The expand it to push against the White. Let's grow our little bubble. "
"That's as good an idea as any I've heard," Jarem says, "You can play, Moore?"
"I know a thing or two." Moore says as he goes to a nice corner and conjures up a blue harp!
Summon Instrument except blue.
Take 10 on Perform for 115
Any particular song or melody in mind here?
I'd say something about fighting against the end and life blooming.
Something tavern-y!
Cool. Charisma check, Moore.
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 19 + 48, total 67[/blockquote]
Music! Food! The tavern grows, the tavern seems...alive. Real. The white retreats outside as you play your music and food is eaten, Bastian at the window.
"Look," he calls, as a path ahead is revealed, the field there once more. "That did it."
Emily comes over, a bit of bread in hand, "It did?" A bite, "Your music's also amazing, Moore," she adds, "Do you know Pereseph's Ballad?"
"Not off the top of my head." Moore admits as he looks out the window himself. "Oh, I see! How inventive."
"I'll have to have someone teach it to you later, it's so pretty," Emily says, as Jarem comes forward with Xandra, "I think that's an invitation to go on, isn't it?"
Alyssa smiles. "Life, joy, and memory is it?"
Alyssa goes to the door and pats the frame, "And rebuilding what once was. A good lesson. Shall we keep going?"
Moore nods. "Yes, let's see this to its end."
Thus the party goes on.

A flicker.
Hm?
For a moment white is almost everywhere.
Damn it!
"Sylvie?" Xandra asks immediately, "What's wrong?"
That armor and your gift took more than I thought...damn it!
"Sylvie, you always burden yourself unnecessarily." Moore says, a smile and kindness in his voice. "I think it's time you let us help you for once."
> roll 1d20+27 ???
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 39 > [d20=12]
Just go on. Hurry.
Jarem doesn't argue, "When the demiplane or reality controlling mage tells you to hurry because reality just warped, you hurry."
Bastian picks up his pace, "Speaking from experience?"
"I hope not," Emily chimes in as she thirds that. "Are you?"
"Storytime later," Jarem hurries as Ianvasah follows as well.
Alyssa hurries on!
Moore does as well!
Because there is always hope.
The party hurries along. The grasses hold back the white for now, as you race on the path.

Ahead on the path is but one thing - a book. A large book, simply sitting there.
"This one's for you, I think." Moore says.
"To represent the danger of knowledge, perhaps?"
Alyssa approaches it, inspecting it, expecting an attack or test.
Nothing happens as you approach it. Emily comes with you. "Careful," she warns, "Mom's had many bad experiences with books before she ascended. There are bad books."
"Such as the book that's the reason we're here? Either we walk away or open it...."
> roll 1d20+27 ???
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 39 > [d20=12]
"We open it," Xandra says, "Let us not pretend this is not designed."
"I see no reason not to," Dolmaya seconds, "It should be opened."
"Yes, agreed." Moore says. "Go on."
Alyssa uses her TK to open it!
The book opens. Amazingly, no terror immediately emerges and no calamity happens.
Alyssa begins to read!

Alyssa reels back, mind stone blank from that. For several seconds she's reeling and stunned, head throbbing from that. The book falls to the ground, lying there and closed once more.
Alyssa shudders and stumbles, "It... Attacked my mind. I can feel the damage."
"Jetina, can you take care of that please?" Moore says.
He goes over to lift the book up and open it.
I believe Jetina's Heal should remove the damage.

Reality seems to rise up into a sea of letters that bond together through the iron strands of dead fate. Jarem has his shield up as his shield is argued against by the persuasive tongues that come from within those strands, each one a new nugget towards the 11th hour.
"Madness," Ianvasah screams as she stumbles back. "What is this?!"

This spell protects against all mind-affecting spells and effects as well as information gathering by divination spells or effects. Mind blank even foils limited wish, miracle, and wish spells when they are used in such a way as to affect the subject's mind or to gain information about it. In the case of scrying that scans an area the creature is in, such as arcane eye, the spell works but the creature simply isn't detected. Scrying attempts that are targeted specifically at the subject do not work at all.
This spell is identical to mage armor, except that it grants a +20 armor bonus to armor class.

Jetina and Emily both collapse bonelessly, hitting the ground as they bleed from everywhere. They gush blood, a puddle forming around their collapsed forms in a moment. There is no other reaction from the horror before you as Jarem calls, "My Lady, guide my blade and guide my tactics!"
Moore.

Mass Heal, should put Emily and Jetina at 249.
CL check, add your Wisdom modifier to this but subtract your Intelligence modifier.

Healing spreads, mending Moore's fallen allies. As this happens, within it the veiled abbey shimmers as if in a heat haze. A moment later it all erupts out around the party, a sudden rebellion of shimmers and distortion.
Close enough to a spell to allow SR.

Jetina goes to 21 (lol) HP.
She's going to use one of her emergency heals here.
Assuming she's subject to the same rules as Moore:
[21:40] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+34-5+11
[21:40] <Penuche> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 48 > [d20=8]
She will Mass Heal everyone for 275, which also leaves fast healing of 11 for the next 34 rounds.
166 hp for Alyssa.
The distortions of the Veiled Abbey twist, tearing at all of you. Yet at the same time Jetina manages to grasp her holy symbol and cries, "RAZIEL!" A single word plea of aid, and the plea is answered. Healing washes over all of you instantly, soothing the injuries just taken.
Yet there is more. From the Veiled Abby a rod of iron emerges, hovering besides it in the madness of iron strainds and tongues, of abbeys and dead fates.
Iron Rod joins init.
> roll 1d2+18
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d2=2]
Not a typo.
Init is Dead Fate (69) > Moore (42) > Veiled Abbey (36) > Alyssa (34) > Iron Strands (33) > Dolmaya (26) > Xandra (24) > Jarem = Emily = Bastian (23) > Iron Rod (20) > Ianvasah = Persuasive Tongues (19) > Jetina (17)

"Alyssa, I would suggest you try and invoke your will against these!" Moore shouts. "Something that feels right to counter what you currently see!"
Alyssa tries to focus on the largest one, the Veiled Abbey. "Well then, since you're already half way there... You should really be an abbey!"
Cha/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+31 : 5 + 31, total 36[/blockquote]
Gimme Con as well.
Con/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+32 : 20 + 32, total 52[/blockquote]
There's a wrench within, a shake as behind all of this the veiled abbey flees, becoming. A real abbey, a stone building with fields of purple flowers around it. As this happens Alyssa's vision flashes a painful white.
200 damage, be very glad you got a good role there.

Moore, Jetina, Jarem and Dolmaya take 11 points of Dex damage. Are any of them immune to ability damage?
Moore is because of his armor. I think Jetina naturally is due to Healer 20 as well.
Not that I can see, gear-wise. I'm not sure if they have anything in their builds that do, though.
It is a numbing pain, a pain that wracks through all of you. As you all endure the strange sensations?
Dolmaya is up.
"Heal Alyssa," Dolmaya declares, striding forward. She gestures, a ray of force from her finger as she says, "Leave my sight, abomination." The iron rod is struck head on and...
Empowered Maximized Split Twinned Dolmaya's Force Ray.

The iron rod is shattered by that shot, as meanwhile Dolmaya stands by Alyssa.
In the 5ft range of aura of confidence for Alyssa, which is +9 morale to attack rolls, saves and skill checks, as well as weapon damage rolls and armor class. Note in the next post that you saw this, Iddy.

Saw it.
Well, it seemed to work last time... Xandra turns her attention to the Words that are not Words a tongue can speak and sings a song to make it Whole.
Assuming only one thing can be affected, she is using her Music of the Outer spheres on Persuasive Tongue.

At this the entire wretched thing begins to collapse - perhaps without a center? But you hardly have time to reflect, for the entire thing collapses and from it a wave of twisting energy comes forth that - !
Will saves all.

It's done. In the aftermath the horror is gone, abbey and all. Blown away perhaps, or destabilized in some key way. No matter what, it's gone - and your party stands intact.
A moment later Ianvasah collapses, body melting down into a purple-gray slime.
Free act.
... Whut. Slime? Is she dead?
Possibly. You may want to do something about this.
What the...?!
Moore turns and flies over, Jetina as well.
Take 10 on K:A for 108 and 103 for Spellcraft. Is this something a Heal spell can fix...???
Alyssa sags and then jerks and sprints to Ianvasah, casting a spell!
Uh, Regenerate I guess? CL 24.
[blockquote]Rolled 4d8+24 : 2, 5, 2, 5 + 24, total 38[/blockquote]
CL check, Iddy.
Her body has lost all cohesion and has become ooze. Odds are she isn't even alive anymore, but who can say with the Far Realm.
"Damn it!" Jarem's there as well, Emily and Bastian a step behind him. Jarem grasps his holy symbol, "Any idea," he asks, a prayer on his lips.
CL check:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+24 : 10 + 24, total 34[/blockquote]
"A Beyond problem requires a Beyond solution." Moore says. "Alyssa, why don't we try and make her Whole? If your magic doesn't work..."
Regenerate has no visible effect.
"I think we'll need to try together. Even in this place, I think it'll be a lot to make happen."
"Right, then. You know her better, you focus on Iavanash and I'll focus on the other part."
So my idea is Alyssa uses the Words to represent Iavanash (and If the others want to try then go for it) and Moore and Xandra will focus on 'whole'.
I'm assuming charisma checks but not sure what else would be required.
"We'll support you with what we can," Emily promises, "Try!"
"We'll be there," Xandra agrees, "Hurry."
Alyssa fixes Ianvasah in her mind and speaks, "Ianvasah, be whole!"
Cha/Moore:
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+31 : 15 + 31, total 46[/blockquote]
[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+48 : 15 + 48, total 63[/blockquote] Moore
A scream.
Pain lances through both of you, shots of it thick and deep.
But Ianvasah slowly mends. A hand and arm shoots out of the ooze, as with a scream Ianvasah climes out. She's shaking all over, Jarem there with a murmuring of magic and prayer. "Ah...ah..." she manages, "Aah....aaaah...."
Alyssa drops to her hands and knees, breathing heavily in pain and effort.
"It... Worked.."
Moore lets out a breath as he winces and drops to a knee.
Jetina is there with healing as well.
Mass Heal, will resolve the dexterity damage too. If Iavanash is suffering from anything Panacea heals that fixes it too. 275 healing with 11 fast healing.
Healing spreads as everyone recovers, "Too close," Bastian is heard.
Amid all of this, as Emily helps Ianvasah up and cleanses her with magic?
Hurry.
Alyssa looks annoyed.
"She just melted and we brought her back. You could give us a second to catch our breath."
Alyssa leverages herself up and turns to Ianvasah and hugs her, "You okay?"
"Come on, I think what just happened wasn't part of our training." Moore says as he indeed hurries along, through the pain and weakness, but he ensures the others are coming!
Because there is always hope.
"No," Ianvasah admits as Jarem shakes his head and gets up to go.
"Cry later," Bastian grunts, "Better to walk in pain than to never walk again."
"Moore's right," Xandra speaks up, "I'll carry you if I must, but hurry. Something's gone awry."
Alyssa looks disgruntled and turns to go.
Ahead it sits on the path - a golden ring, one that glitters even here.

Ring of the Enlightened Magi
This ring functions as a ring of wizardry I, II, III, IV, V and VI. Any spell cast by the wearer gains a +3 bonus to damage (if it applies to damage) as well as to any save DC it allows.
"... That... Is a very powerful ring..."
"We can worry about it later!" Moore says as he keeps going!
Hurrying. You hurry ahead and...
