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.
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.

First Person:
You raise a single finger and point off in the distance, sensing the presence of $+target nearby. An eerie light springs forth from your judging hand, forming into a massive beast of incorporeal white light that watches you for a moment before nodding its head and vanishes from sight.
Third Person:
$+Caster raises a single finger and points off into the distance, an expression of sullen calm stretching upon $her face. A massive beast appears for a moment before $+Caster, watching her for a moment before $+caster nods to it, causing it to vanish from sight.
First Person Hit:
A preternatural silence envelops you for a moment before you watch in horror as a massive beast of white light appears before you, its eyes watching you with quiet conviction. Your scream as you fall to your knees before it, feeling the judgement of $+Caster come upon you and finding you guilty before $her eyes.
Third person Hit:
$+Target gasps in shock as $he/$she turns to stare at an empty space before $her/$him. A moment later, a massive beast of white light appears before $him/$her, watching $her/$him with a look of silence upon its face. You watch as the beast turns and leaves, $+target falling to $his/$her knees as their flesh smolders and tears stream from $his/$her eyes.
WorldEcho:
The sound of thunder flashes across the sky, as a massive bolt of white light streaks across the sky.
OR
----------------------------------
First Person:
You bow your head, whispering the name of $+target under your breath. A chorus of whispering voices, echoing $+target's name, surge through the area and vanish into sullen expectation.
Third Person:
$+Caster bows $her head, whispering an inaudible word under $her breath. A pulse of light surrounds $her for a moment, beating like a heart beat, before vanishing into stillness.
WorldEcho:
A surge of crackling white light races through the heavens overhead, whispering a funeral barge as it passes.
First Person Hit:
You turn just in time to see a woman appear in a pulse of light, watching you with an expression of quiet conviction. She touches your chest softly, sending you to your knees as her touch scorches through your body.
Third person:
You turn and gasp with horror as you catch the sight of a woman garbed in pulsing light standing before $+target. Her hand reaches out and touches $+target for a brief moment before vanishing, leaving $+target screaming in pain.

Shout: Shadowy shapes coalesce across the periphery of your vision as the sibilant voice of Kaervas surges through the aether, "Blah blah blah."
Zap (target): The atmosphere shifts into a stygian haze as a seething cyclone of darkness churns violently around you. Enraged strands of shadow dig agonizingly into your flesh with full force, causing spasms of pain to ripple throughout your body.
Zap (area): A cyclone of shadow rages malevolently across the firmament.

While it is slightly wordy, it is no where near as bad as a few other things I've seen (Prisch's desc comes to mind immediately).

Beware the agonies, for they are Legion.
Shamarah2008-07-23 02:12:32
It's not TERRIBLE, but "murderous plethora" is just... ugh. It feels like you plugged in words from a thesaurus, even if you didn't.
And, as far as I know, you can only have a single agony at a time. I also think "violet energy" would make more sense than "violet energies".
I'm sorry for being so nitpicky

I don't know, I like the multiple energies.
Do NOT like the coruscating agonies though.
