*gasp* THEY HAVE CHURROS!

Bloody Glyphs: At the cost of your blood, create a glyph on a body part. Different glyphs have different effects. Glyph of Power - A bloody glyph that can be drawn on the arms or legs. This glyph about doubles the strength of the body part for a limited time. The more glyphs there are, the more the strength increases. Glyph of Resistance - A glyph that can be drawn anywhere. This glyph increases the density and strength of the clothing or skin of the target. The size of the glyph, as well as the number of glyphs affect how large a difference is made. Vampiric Glyph - In the off chance that you get captured, this glyph can be drawn on an enemy target to siphon their life and mana into you. Imprint - By drawing a glyph on your hand, you can transfer it onto the skin of a target. More draining than just drawing the glyph. You said something about hurting yourself and junk, so I thought of these. |

Edd's character.
26-ish? is there a reason for the -ish? How ironic this will sound. Re-read through your writing. You made common mistakes here like (od which should be of). Could you tell us what animals you can change in. I guess its only fair to give you three shapeshift forms. So make them count. Downside? Limit? Normally in the case of boosts such as this one. You would either put a time limit or put a downside to the effect. For example in this case your defense weakens in this state.
No ressurection abilities man. Sorry but I now find that too powerful in any case. So yeah remove this one. You will need to elabrote how this works and of course the downside or time limit to such things. Because this reads overpowered to be in terms of the elements, even to a certain extent. This implies you could change onces weapon and clothes in electricity. Again this needs elaborting. This makes up for some things. I still suggest to do what I said above and give yourself another ability other then ressurection. Remember your still human. Your not death incarnated there are other people with the same rune in the world. Acting like an medieval executioner will just get you shot in all honesty. This is a secret war so you will need to imply the term secrecy in how you run your character. |

Commenting on your comments. Three seems like a pretty arbitrary limit. The boost seems pretty small to require a limit considering that this is an RP about mages. Very powerful mages from what I can gather. I agree a serial killer is pretty hard to pull off in modern times, especially considering he uses his hands and not some magic that no forensic scientist could figure out. |

He can increase the boost if he likes. Too me however I see boosts work in that way. They need a limit a time limit or a downside while in that state. Even so, every mage goes by the same rules in terms of boost. Its how they work to me anyway. Is that Sarcasm I see? |

Eh, well the only problem I can forsee is if he can shapeshift into a 400 foot tall gorilla with meter thick scales of diamond hardness etc. Otherwise I don't see how he has to be more specific than I do, unless you want me to be more specific too? |

In AMERICA!

I agree with Drummy that this seems pretty arbitrary. I'd suggest putting a more understandable limit there, like if he shapeshifts he can't change his mass. So if he changed into a bird, it would be a freaking huge bird that would be unable to fly due to his weight. Or if he turned into an elephant it would be a pretty small elephant. Stuff like that. Makes way more sense than "Haha you can only shift in three different things". |

What kind of shifter only does three animals? To me the length and penalties for a boost is proportional to its value. For example my ultimate defense spell can only be held for two minutes at full strength, but something like that might as well be free. No. He'd really get busted in a matter of days. |

Also it implies I'd be a better shapeshifter than him. Then again, my powers are all sort of borrowed anyways. Technically my power is contact incredibly powerful beings in other dimensions to make deals with them for power. So I'm contacting a being that is a better shapeshifter or something. Meh, I'd simply say that he can't rapidly shift between forms and can't mix and match, otherwise go to town. So no gorillazilla. Or not, as it may be. Meh. |

No army of the dead you. I suggest there be a limit of undead you can control at once before it does start requiring mana. Enhancing the effects of a natural ability of the rune would take stationary concentration. Just saying. Perhaps it best to summarize the weakness and strengths of these undead creatures. I suggest adding a slight delay. I know it may seem nitpicking but it would make the difference in battle in terms of fairness. Book of the dead is a real item in the rp. Its not in Fragments but I suggest replacing the fragment, with the mark of lucifer, there are many of those and would give the same effects. You should possibly know to rewrite your history accordingly. Edited by Masterwolfie, May 16 2011, 08:19 AM.

Very well, I'll do the modification later today. Too late to do it right now, I'm almost sleeping on my keyboard. |

DrummySo no way of actually defending against such an attack. I always went by the saying. If you can cast it then you can defend against it. Chicken effects. ![]() You have unique abilities but you need to be careful as you nearly cross that line. Nothing wrong with this just be careful. Its best to imply you can't use this straight away after those two minutes. |

That's kind of how reverse causality works. If it helps, I could reduce the damage, making it weaker than a normal bullet. I suppose it would be possible to counter before casting. He has to do the point and bang thing, plus he actually needs to be able to focus on what he is going to shoot briefly. His aim can be off, but he still has to take it, if that makes sense. You make it sound so inelegant. I thought that was a given. When I say up to, that's the point where all mana is exhausted. He can't use any spells straight away after that. Which is probably the only thing keeping him from surviving a nuclear explosion. Damn radiation damage. Edited by Drummy, May 16 2011, 08:40 AM.

It could be inelegant. There isn't any part of your move that says, he does this with all the grace and poise available to a headless man. |

Oh its horribly inellegent. He's basically an intelligent zombie and will keep fighting even after being visiblly torn to shreds. I just don't like him saying it like that.
