Andrew nods. "The first thing I will teach you then is to create spells. Not wholesale creation, but to mix and match what you already know. Take for instance, the spells Blinding Flash and Thunderclap. Simple and very effective if used in the right manner. If you mix them however, you get a bigger bang, and blindness to boot. Let me show you". Andrew showcases both spells independent of the other, and then in a blinding thunderous crash, he shows Dukat the mixture. "This is something you could do on the field of battle if you needed to, quick and dirty magic".

Dukat watches as the man makes his demonstration. "That's great! How did you do it?"

"Simple enough. Combine the two spells together, the key is the wording to bind the two together. I simple power word. Yin, it is the linking word. Say the words to one spell, combine the spell with Yin and the second spell and a third spell is born".

==Dukat==

Dukat ponders for a moment, listing off some of the simpler spells he knows. OK, let's give this a try. Start simple. Start logical. Two spells that would work well together... "We had better go somewhere where I can safely break things..."

Once they arrive he finds two trees. First he focuses, says the words for fire bolt and fuel flame with "yin" binding them together, and aiming at a tree.

After observing the results he will do the same, only first he will say the spell for fuel flame and fire bolt to see if there was a different effect depending on the order of the spells.

IE. Will fire bolt + fuel flame result in a normal fire bolt that results in a large explosion on impact, while fuel flame + fire bolt will actually fuel the size of the fire bolt spell?

Dukat:
The power fizzles, pops and bursts into a small explosion when you try to use it. (Combined spell level is 7, maximum possible for Dukat right now is 5)

"You need to be careful not to exceed your proficiency in magic with this, try something to powerful and you could kill yourself as the cosmic energies backlash".

Damage: 11

==Dukat==

Dukat recoils from the blast but shrugs the damage off. With determination he grunts, "I will master this."

Dukat firmly plants his feet on the ground and tries again, this time something a little simpler.

Imitating what he had already seen work, he combines the spells for blinding flash and thunder clap to see if he can get the same results as his new teacher.

If it works, he will then combine globe of daylight with blinding flash to see what happens.

Result:
The blinding flash goes off first, and then the globe of daylight, however the globe has the same brightness and intensity as the blinding flash.

Effect:
A globe of daylight that will harm vampires as though it were actual daylight.

==Dukat==

Dukat stands in awe of the powerful light he just created, "interesting, I can see how this might be useful..."

He then proceeds to try combinations of chameleon, climb, weightlessness, and cloak of darkness, and combinations involving fear, heavy breathing, befuddle, and cloud of smoke.

OOC: Ok, I'm not sure how you want to do this, but with the hand full of level 1 and 2 spells I have chosen I have about 85 possible different spell combinations, which could take a long time to RP, and that's just for level 1 and 2.

Should there be a general rule for how debuffs might combine, like the effects of both debuffs and victims have to save twice, or maybe get -2 to save once?

Generally speaking, any two spells that counter one another will either fail outright, or produce unstable effects. The Weightlessness and Increase Weight can just as easily backfire as it could work the way Dukat wants it to.
In regards to saving throws, only spells coupled with spells that have a penelty to save will have anything other than a 'standard' save.

==Dukat==

Dukat will spend a good long time experimenting with this until he gets the hang of it. If he takes too much damage or runs out of PPE (though with the pyramid available that shouldn't be much of a problem), he will rest, otherwise he will continue until he has run though every combination he can think of. Then he will eat more Italian food.

OOC: Too many combinations to list off and I doubt you want to define specifics for everything I could try, is it safe to assume that Dukat probably has tried it with the time he has available, and if I need to use it in combat I can ask you ahead of time what it might do? If you want you can draw my attention to any more interesting viable spell combinations as well. Really cool power because it does have exponentially large possibilities, but that also makes it difficult to test things without taking up months on the boards.

Once Dukat is done everything he can think of he will ask, "how am I doing, is there anything I can improve on or you can show me?"

Andrew nods, a pleased look on his face. "You are doing well. Is there anything else that you would wish to learn in the last couple 'days' you have here?"

"These stones I showed you and the thing that gave them to me, they are all strange and unknown to me, but they seem like good things. Can you teach me about them so that we can work better together?"

(Ie. Dukat could become a shifter and gain a link to the supernatural with this being of light, probably a link stronger than the ones described in the book since the precedent is already there and they already have a strong, if not unusual bond.)

Picking up an entirely new OCC will require more time than is available for the current Time Stop. However Andrew can teach Dukat the skill of communing and 'bonding' with a supernatural entity in the remaining time.

Jasmine steps back watching Gantu. "Perhaps it would be better to do this at another time. I am feeling like there are more useful things we should be doing. I don't wish to hurt you by accident, either."

Dukat will undergo the training to try to forge a bond with the creature of light.

Gantu attempts to parry the strike, by stepping in again.
Parry (1d20+12=30)

Before he can attempt to deliver another strike, Jasmine offers to stop. Gantu nods, "Yes, that would be wise. We seem evenly matched. Let us return to other duties."

Gantu flies them both back. Once back, Gantu looks into acquiring more advanced security systems for the pyramid. Wireless multi-spectrum cameras, as well as heat and motion detectors would be on the top of his list. He would also look for vibration detectors to install around the perimeter of the pyramid, as well as computers to start a security center within the pyramid.

Jasmine finds whoever is in charge when they get back and offers her help with whatever needs doing.

Dukat:
Andrew looks to the side with an eyebrow cocked. "It has begun. The demons have attacked in Pittsburgh. You should go there and help out." With a wave of his hand he sends Dukat into the fray.

Gantu nods, "He should be more than enough for any kind of raiding party. He seeme quite formidable. I will handle the next conflict. In the meantime, I will continue to reinforce the Pyramids sercurity." And he did.
