I liked this one. I can agree the writing is a bit off in places, but it didn't make it harder to read in the slightest. I honestly enjoyed reading that. Kudos.
I agree with everything already said. Excellent Myomancer. Excellent NPC. Very thought provoking and fun.
I remember this one!
Looking at it again, it's kind of sloppy. But, still a great idea. Nice Daily Highlight.
I could have sworn I read and commented on this long ago, but reading it was entirely fresh, excellent work, Muro. This is my kind of madness!
Excellent work, Muro and Pariah. There is not much to be said, other than I dont understand one paragraph.
"During its epileptic seizures, while spouting prophecies, Jul-Ghose cannot be harmed by non-magical weapons or any spells! Such is the power of Mokkus seed! However this immunity is non-existent when Jul-Ghose is conscious, which is almost all of the time. It is unknown what Jul-Ghose lifespan could be. It has existed for eight thousand years, according to the P’Cheela’s reckoning. When Jul-Ghose goes epileptic, this can last several minutes or an hour or more. During these times the P’Cheela, if aware, guard the Prophet with demonic fervor, from any that would attempt to take advantage of the chittering, helpless hulk."
Did you mean is is only harmed while in a epileptic state? I don't see why they would need to guard it while briefly immortal.
Other than that, simply brilliant.
Also, i think you need a end tag for your bold, Muro. it seems to be making all of the comments bolded.
I don't think I quite get it. Is this just a big picture frame that flings random items, but if you're really good at magic you can somehow fling fireballs and ice arrows? Where do these things come from?
You mentioned that be called a crossbow bolt through, OK, so desired objects can be selected, but where does one pull a fireball from? Is this a multi-planar item with completely random function ability?
I really don't like this very much, and can't see it being a useful weapon, even in the hands of a powerful magic-user. Does the Lich mount it on his wall and command it to fling fireballs or objects he needs to scry for? or does he wield it as a shield that spits magical effects? Either way, I'm sure with the power you need to use it, your own power would be more effective.
This isn't a bad item, it's just really strange and not clearly defined. You know, I can't even see it being a potent tool for theft because of, in my mind, a crystal ball would be used for remote viewing and you have no control over where the item comes from with this portal. It does give me a few ideas though.
