JoeSapphire: I didn't start any fights today (I've been on my best behaviour) so I failed to notice that my AC was temporarily up to 12.
So, do you like having the higher AC, or would you rather it be lower?

(Choosing not to respond to the previous spell or cast a new spell right now.)

I shatter my streak of good behaviour by making a massive-budget action sequence charm and unleashing it on the next poster.
Given the timing with Christmas and all of the spending that's already taking place, the result isn't pretty: I'm forced to tap into my Tequila Fund, for non-tequila purposes. Dark times indeed.

The resultant bad mood must be spread: Bah Humbug is cast.
Having been hit with such a bad mood, my wallet hasn't opened to buy any christmas games at GoG. So it must be working retroactively.

I cast, Tasha's Hideous Laughter
Good joke, but since it wasn't the uncontrollable version, I am able to control that laughter and can still function normally.

Which means I can now cast that powerful spell:

True Armageddon

It's like the Armageddon spell from Ultima 6 (kills everything on the entire plane of existance), except that it is more powerful; it works on normally immortal beings, *and* it affects *all* planes of existence, not just one. (In Ultima terms, this is the sort of spell that is capable of killing even Lord British.)
Congralutions you MONSTER. You caused Brexit since Ultima wise, Richard Garriott has already killed off any goodwill towards the Ultima series with his rat-tail hair piece + kickstarter scam.

Being a some-what kind hearted person, I envoke " Shakespeare never existed" onto the next user.
So, Shakespeare never existed, which ends up messing up all sorts of things. For example, one flash animation that references Shakespeare no longer works, despite it being only a small part of it.

The Eternal Mother steps in to fix this mess, and decides that some other poet would publish works under the pen name of "Shakespeare", and would write the exact same works that are normally attributed to Shakespeare, and as a result, everything appears as though the spell hadn't been cast.

So, having been set up me like that, I am decide to cast the spell "all your grammar are belong to me".

(By the way, can anyone figure out what two games I reference in this post? The one referenced in the third paragraph should be obvious, but the one in the second might not be (hint: it's available on GOG, unlike the one referenced in the third).)
Fortunate I am, that Yoda-speak I can switch to instead.

Cast I do (or do not, there is no 'try') Force Sensitivity on the next user.

The one besides Zero Wing? I didn't even know it was the plot of a game. I've always heard it referred to as the "Adam Sandler time travel paradox"; see attached.

Force sensitivity. Cool. This will make moving/balancing crap around easier if I can just levitate things. No more boxing up a bunch of books, games and crap. Focus the mind and hold them up all the way to the next home over. Maybe I can test it on some salespeople, get better bargains on stuff. Wait, can you tell if someone is lying with Force powers? I don't remember. That would be a good trick to master, I'll be on that one right away.

Next person up: all cordial contact with another living thing, human, dog, cat, tree, poison slug spider-rat or otherwise, will temporarily transform you into a skeleton. You can still move, walk, talk, do what you normally do, but...you're a skeleton. There is no use that I can think of for this overly specific and puzzling spell I uncovered in some paperback in the back of a disassembled toilet in an abandoned Wal-Mart, but it...works. I can promise that. By "cordial contact" I mean, shaking hands, hugging, kissing, petting or...more intimate affairs, will turn you into a skeleton for the duration of that contact. I think it's some sort of arcane party trick/mean-spirited practical joke meant to scare friends, family, acquaintances and lovers off and that's it. So, conglaturations, you have been bad end!!! Enjoy not fun time!! :(:(:(

THANK YOU!
There's this goth I'm really into and there was just no way I could get him to notice me! Suddenly all I need to do is shake his hand a PACHOW! He's all over me.
I won't go into all the details because of course NO-ONE wants to hear that, but we're getting married on the 31st Oct, in the skull-lined catacombs of paris. EVERYBODY IS WELCOME. Dress code = Offputting.


For My next trick I will make the charm Your life becomes a mash-up of your two favourite films and your least favourite meme
Well, it seems that some scientists found a way to turn people into attack helicopters. Only problem is that, in order for someone to move as an attack helicopter, that person *has* to do the math themself, leading to a much higher cognitive load, and not much time to think about other things.

(Films: Hidden Figures and The Imitation Game. Meme: The "attack helicopter" meme that I consider to be offensive, and which is bad enough that I am likely to report it to a mod (and which has been mod deleted before, I think).)

I cast Banish Demon on the next user (who is presumably not a demon).

Thank you. After many decades, those pesky inner demons have finally been quieted once and for all.

Allow me to cast Raise Volcano in the next poster's general direction.

TwoHandedSword: Allow me to cast Raise Volcano in the next poster's general direction.
Well, I somehow anticipated that a spell would be cast in my general direction, and I cast a large area Reflect spell in advance.

As a result, for each person in the area that would be affected, a copy of the spell is sent in your general direction, resulting in (at least) tens of thousands of volcanoes being raised in your area, causing issues as there isn't enough magma to go around for all the volcanoes.

I cast Temporal Disjunction on the next user. (No, I have no idea what that does.)

dtgreene: I cast Temporal Disjunction on the next user. (No, I have no idea what that does.)
The Temporal Disjunction spell worked wonders on me. I now see things clearly.....and request that dtgreene submit a account-renaming request to GOG support, and reclaim the RIDDLER username they truly deserve to use.

Everyone fears the Batman dtgreene, and lets be honest, the constant riddle question threads and/or posts you make on the GOG forums allowed the Batman to doxx you within hours of joining.
No point in hiding anymore is what I am getting at.

I cast the spell "Play your favorite Batman videogame" onto the next poster.
Well, it seems that the spell has caused me to play the first game on a sorted empty list, which of course is a dangling pointer.

As a result, I spend time playing some glitchy mess, which is fun in a strange sort of way. I even took a couple screenshots of it. (Note: These screenshots are not actually from the same game.)

I cast the "enable noclip mode" spell on the next poster.

Edit: Clarification: I haven't played any Batman games.

Well, thanks to that I was able to see my neighbor showering. But since he's 73, not in the best of shape, and a horrible singer to boot, I'm now horribly traumatized for life.

I try casting Obliviate at the mirror in hopes of eliminating the memory forever, but the trauma causes my hand to shake and the spell to be misaimed, landing squarely on the forehead of the next poster instead.
