Babies gurgle. A kettle does not gurgle. A baby in a kettle, on the other hand...

I need a zap message. Lightning bolts in the shape of babies will be considered but will not be rated highly.

I could have sworn I posted in the old thread.

Your Custom Zap (Approved):
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."

Thrumming with an accompaniment of countless wasps, the voice of Ragniliff drones, "Something witty."


Yes, still the same stuff I've had since I've been in Glom. I'm lazy like Vathael.

Good lord I should probably update my zap.

I've never designed a zap. Nor a shout. Halp, Kharvik.

A chorus of cowering Pages echoes across the Basin as the voice of Malicia resonates, "Blah."

Zap will be forthcoming when I'm inspired.

1 = What you see: "You close your eyes as you take a deep breath before you curl your lips into a cocky smile, engulfing everything in a blaze of radiant ivory and golden white light.

3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) closes $=(lhis$) eyes as $=(he$) takes a deep breath; you get a quick glimpse of $=(lhis$) sudden cocky smile before you reflexively close your eyes in the sudden blaze of brilliant white light that ensues.

1t = What your target sees: "You are forced to recoil into a fetal position and cry out in primal pain as waves upon waves of pain courses through your body, heralded by a sudden blaze of brilliant white light that momentarily blinds and burns shapeless after-images in your vision.

3t = What people in your targets room see: "You hear a scream of primal pain as you are momentarily blinded by a brilliant blaze of white light which leaves shapeless after-images burned in your vision."

Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "Your are momentarily blinded by a brilliant blaze of white light which leaves shapeless after-images burned in your vision"

I suggest....

1 = What you see: "You zap your target."

3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) zaps $=(lhis$) target.

1t = What your target sees: "Jozan zaps you."

3t = What people in your targets room see: "someone was just zapped."

Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A zap happened."

Jozan is an only child in one branch of the La'Saet family. He no longer wears that name after a falling out with senior members of the family. He's been a Tahtetso human monk for all of his life and has wandered in and out of the guild proper a few times. He grew up wanting to be an aethership pirate, but became disenchanted with aetherspace after seeing the barren emptiness that it truly is.

Hrm, Jozan likes to be fed (free) food even though he has no need for sustenance. Generally, citizens will feed him gumdrops, cakes, cookies, and barely cooked steaks. He has a pretty care-free attitude but has a short temper, which makes most people wary to be around him. He's usually oblivious to what people actually think of him and will do/say anything that first pops into his mind. He tries to uphold his own moral code, which often clashes with what the city deems standard and can be left in the minority on many issues.

Growing up, he's gotten in a lot of trouble with the city over killing aslarans, taking novices to kill Trader Bob and other random adventures. But now he's starting to realize that his actions and words have consequences and is slowly making changes to become a more responsible adult.

Haha, not sure how that plays into a zap message, but go for it.

LOL. I guess it is simple. I never understood the long lines of spam that some people use for shouts or zaps.

Jozan's favorite color? Favorite animal/creature?

That could also help people with making your zap. biggrin.gif

I don't think you want those in your zap, though! roflmao.gif

This may be too long, but here:


1 = What you see: "You laugh joyously as you see $=(target$) within your mind's eye. You throw your hands up into the air, causing the air to thrum. The air about your hands ripples and a thunderclap shakes the area."

3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) emits a boyish laugh as $=(lhe$) throws $=(lhis$) hands up into the air. The air surrounding $=(lhis$) hands begins to thrum and ripple, followed shortly by a resounding thunderclap."

1t = What your target sees: "A sudden feeling of dread overcomes you, and you look for a way to escape. Seeing no way out, you succumb to your fate and cry out in terror as your flesh is seared off of your bones by some unknown force."

3t = What people in your target's room see: "The ground shakes and your eyes dart to $=(target$). You're unable to look away as you watch his skin slowly peel off of him in small, thick hunks."

Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "The air fills with a shaking thrum, followed by the sound of a large thunderclap that shakes the area."

1 = What you see: "You twirl your tahto staff high above your head, creating a high-pitched whistle. You suddenly slam the staff down into the ground, a bolt of golden lightning launching from it."

3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) twirls his tahto staff above his head, making a high-pitched whistle as $=(lhe$) mutters the name of $=(target$). $=(lhe$) slams his staff to the ground, a bolt of golden lightning flying off into the distance."

1t = What your target sees: "You hear a high-pitched whistle before it suddenly stops; a bolt of golden lightning blinding your vision with pain."

3t = What people in your target's room see: "A high-pitched whistle overcomes your hearing, suddenly stopping as a golden bolt strikes $=(target$)."

Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "The sound fills with a high-pitched whistle, cut short by a bolt of silent golden lightning."

My zap was never approved. I think the admin forgot about my issue. Perhaps it's for the best...considering it's a fainite zap.

My shout: Shout : Foul whispers of enmity and strife ripple across the basin as the discordant voice of Celina seethes, "Blah."

edit: Since I'm bored, here's what my zap would have been.

Your Custom Zap (NOT APPROVED):
1 = What you see: "Basking in the cold agony, your eyes roll into the back of your head as you offer a prayer to Fain. A bloody mist descends upon the area, crimson energies engaged in a chaotic waltz."
3 = What people in your room see: "$=(caster$) breathes heavily, beads of sweat collecting on $=(his$) skin as $=(his$) lips move in silent prayer. The sour smell of coagulated blood fills your mouth as a crimson mist saturates the air around you."
1t = What your target sees: "Terror descends upon you as a sour, bloody mist claims your senses, ripping through your body and mind with powerful waves of crimson energy."
3t = What people in your targets room see: "Terror apparent in $=(lhis$) eyes, a bloody mist descends upon $=(target$), obscuring $=(lhim$) from sight. Agonizing shrieks echo from within as crimson flashes tear through the shrouded victim."
Area = What everyone in the same area sees: "A foul, bloody mist satiates the air, clinging heavily to your skin and garments."

For the zap Myryr wrote for Jozan, it'd be cool if he clapped his hands when the target got damaged. So like... a thunderclap.
