Zap and Shout!

My zap's awaiting approval, but here's my shout (which I resubmitted for grammar issues)

The atmosphere darkens with a sinister green glow and the mocking hiss of snakes can be heard ripping through the skies as Revan n'Kylbar shouts

The atmosphere succumbs to a profound silence as Ser Shuyin resonates, "Blah blah blah."

1 = What you see: "Muttering the name of $=(target$), you manifest a crackling
dagger of electricity. With a lazy flick of your wrist, you send it flying
through the air to pierce through your foe."
3 = What people in your room see: "As $=(he$) manifests a crackling dagger of
electricity, $=(caster$) mutters the name of $=(target$). With a practiced flick
of the wrist, it erupts from $=(his$) hand to pierce through $=(his$) helpless
foe."
1t = What your target sees: "A blinding flash fills your vision as a dagger of
electricity pierces through your chest. The blade reaches all the way to your
heart, sending wave after wave of agonizing lightning throughout your very
being."
3t = What people in your targets room see: "In a blinding flash, a dagger of
electricity plunges into $=(target$)'s chest, $=(lhis$) face arrested in the
agony of the waves of lightning pulsing through $=(lhis$) body."
Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A small object wreathed in
lightning hurtles through the sky in a brief flash of gold."

Exactly. It's a very... noisy silence, full of echoes.

It needs some flower-power.

Reality warps and bends, the ephereal form of a slightly overweight badger materializing before you before it proceeds to chew on your head.


I'd totally have a giant badger start chewing on someone if only the zaps didn't have to be electrical in nature. Though I GUESS I can have it shoot lazers like Ash's bear does...
Lendren2008-07-11 19:36:12
Overweight electric badgers. Oh, Yudhe, has it come to this?

The steady clanging of a forging hammer can be heard as title bellows,

Your Custom Zap (NOT APPROVED):
1 = What you see: "You snap your fingers and a tiny spark of pure white energy drifts up into the sky. You say the name "$=(target$)", and the spark lances down from the heavens towards them."
3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) snaps $=(his$) fingers and a tiny spark of energy drifts skywards. As it reaches its peak, $=(caster$) clearly speaks the name "$=(target$)", and a streak of energy arcs down from the spark into the distance."
1t = What your target sees: "You barely notice a tiny mote of light in the sky before a bolt of pure energy arcs out of it, slamming into your chest. Agony rolls over your body as the energy courses through you."
3t = What people in your targets room see: "A tiny mote of light flashes briefly in the sky only a moment before a beam of pure white energy slams down into $=(target$)'s chest. The air crackles with electricity as $=(target$) cries out in pain."
Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A very tiny bit of light floats skyward, where it suddenly lances down in an arc of pure white energy."

That sounds like something naughty.
Unknown2008-07-11 19:53:12
I never had my zap set as I couldn't think of something. Ideas welcome. I may hand out cred-.. cookies if someone manages to come up with a cool one. smile.gif

My shout was set as a "quick an' dirty" thing, as hitting STATUS caused an untrapped for me because of my last shout message. As such I was never entirely happy with it - although I gotta thank Ixion for coming up with something I could at least live with back then. Untrapped errors kept making certain people twitchy. So yeah.. ideas welcome etc. same as above.

Just a thought of what I might use, were I ever to become a demigod. Feel free to use it.
Unknown2008-07-11 20:48:46
I like that a few other people haven't gone with the "bigger and badder" route.

1 = What you see: "A thin shadow extends from the tip of your forefinger and forms into the shape of a large, black needle. With a flick of the wrist, you send it whistling into the distance."
3 = What people in your room see: "A thin shadow extends from $=(caster$)'s forefinger and hardens into a long, black needle. With a facile flick of the wrist, $=(he$) sends it whistling into the distance."
1t = What your target sees: "A long, black needle suddenly and imperceptibly pierces your torso. Dull pain radiates from the point of contact before spindly violet bolts wash over your body, causing your skin to fry and innards to roil."
3t = What people in your targets room see: "A blank expression washes over $=(target$)'s face as a long, black needle suddenly pierces $=(lhis$) torso. Black smoke rises from $=(lhis$) seething skin as spindly violet bolts wash over $=(lhis$)
body."
Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A streak of bright violet light skirts along your peripheral vision as a soft whistle caresses your ears."

No shout yet. I had an idea, but I think I should probably scrap it since Revan already has something with snakes now. unsure.gif
Ialie2008-07-11 20:58:05
When you shout, others will hear: A rainbow aurora sparkles briefly within the skies as the voice of Ialie Starfall, Rainbow Princess resounds throughout the basin, "Blah blah blah."



Your Custom Zap (Approved):
1 = What you see: "You raise your hand to the sky, calling forth an ominous black cloud to seek $=(target$) on a chill wind."
3 = What people in your room see: "$+(caster$) raises $=(his$) hand to the sky, calling forth an ominous black cloud which drifts purposefully across the sky."
1t = What your target sees: "An ominous, angry black cloud billows across the sky towards you and discharges a dazzling rainbow, which curves languidly down to engulf you in coruscant, searing energies."
3t = What people in your targets room see: "An ominous, angry black cloud hovers into view overhead, from which a dazzling rainbow descends languidly, engulfing $=(target$) in coruscant light."
Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A brief chill wind blows an ominous black cloud across the firmament, followed by the dazzling arc of a colourful rainbow curving languidly across the sky."

One day, I will have a fluttering illusion of Jigan which is Jigan's shadow to rise from the ground and throw a little lightning.
