It doesn't necessarily have to be movies. It could be pretty much any source. I was just trying to get the proverbial ball rolling. 8) Try and destroy a sentient artefact of pure evil before it obliterates the universe (the Loc-Nar of the movie Heavy Metal).

Throwing axes, perhaps like franciscas?

Done!

So...what did I win?

Has Graham weighed in lately to give us any updates? (Not that I'm in a hurry to get it, mind. I would be happiest if he took his time to make it right. )

Concentrate (+2) If this spell is cast on the round before any other spell, the second spell will be re-cast immediately its duration expires without requiring a new spellcasting test or indeed any time. Magic points will be expended again at the time of recasting, and the recast spell will be reca...
