Verbal Spell Components of Arcade DeltarionShatter:"Operatic, cacophonic, stratospheric shriek, Focussed locus hocus pocus hypersonic seek, Broken, cracked and burst and wracked, shattered now must you be, Slivers, shards are in the cards, And by the way: Shedubee!" Color Spray: "Technicolor paparazzi, magnesium flash, watch the birdie, film 6:30, geeze your costumes clash!" Grease: "Slip and fall and slide and sprawl, stagger, skid, and stumble, Topple, flop, and pitch and drop, totter, tilt and tumble, Perniciously lubricious, oily unguent vicious, Lipoleic, oleo-, petroleum slick of suet, Polyunsat, ceramide, sebaceous lipid do it. Balsam and brilliantine, butter, lard of beast, Dip and tallow adipose, glycerine and grease." Irritation: "Private itches, ants in britches, poison oak and ives, Eczematous icthyosis, boils, wheals and hives, Busy tongued insectile young, Your nails flay fleshly strips, The burning rash and stinging lash, Of magic nettled whips!" Mirror Image: "Prism prisons laggard light, Fly eye comports compound sight, Psilocybin, icy high been, Crystal silver dreams imbibin'. Loosely shifting diamond view, Crazed cracks cross the iris blue, As future finis by veiled pupils pass, So let me be seen, Through the same darkling glass!" Gust of Wind: "Blowing bluster, Nor'east guster, tornado, hurricane! Atmospheric, hypobaric, send cyclonic strain! North wind's breath, salt sailor's death, Knock foemen to their knees, Come cruel cutting courser, with artic gale force, er... Well... at least with a brave bracing breeze!" Pyrotechnics: "Multimillions, megahit! Stallone and Schwarzenegger! Laser lights and phoenix flights, a nitro kilokegger! Spielberg, Lucas! Getting warm. Show takes town by firestorm. The smoke, the flames, we're naming names, pure pyrotech impaction, Blockbusting blast, a stellar cast, Take one, roll film, and ... Action!" Stinking Cloud: "Breathe deep breaths of this putrid perfume, Gangrene green choking vaprous spume, Sulfur eructations, musky skunk deflations, Nauseous nostrils flare at the flatulence of nations, Effluvius Vesuvius, your bile brings reports, On essence of incontinent otyugh shorts, And lastly the bouquet beheaded camels couldn't miss, The full-bodied stench of crusty dwarven spirit piss." Note: After the encounter with Nostradis Ghend, Arcade plundered the evil mage's spell book and gained the spell Darkening Bolt. It is in all ways the equivalent of Lightning Bolt, but uses negative energy and manifests as a black stroke. Darkening Bolt: "Tesla, Volta, Van de Graaf, Laughing blue-black barbed gaffe, Dark arc sparking spearing spike, Of streaking, striking, ion shrike, Streaming ebon dreams of will o' wisp scars, Where dancing lances crisp from mouths of Leyden jars, And forking lightless bolts of scintillating breath, Drown themselves in dark electric death. Flickering feeble waveforms, your groundless power pales, In your current static state, resistance fails." |
