Reply to comment by uighur in [WP] The Rock of Transmogrification allows you change shape into the animate or inanimate, magically retaining all of your senses. To work, part of you must be touching the rock. The best advice is to transmogrify with it inside you. Otherwise, someone might take it, leaving you transformed, forever by chacham2

Interesting! And well written. My only niggle is "pleas for help written on the pages before their eyes". How did that get written? And when?

Than you the story!

Thank you.

I like the approach in your story. I'd prefer elaboration instead of a story with a surprise sacrifice, where we don't even get to see the result. To me, this is kind of an outline. A good outline though. Thank you for the story!

Reply to comment by TerrificTooMan in [SP] A curse placed upon you reveals to anyone what you are thinking of when you interact with them. by chacham2

I read it to my wife last night (the first post) and we both kind of lost interest. The idea and interaction was nice, blowing away clouds, and having someone that close and dear. But, in the middle we couldn't tell 100% what was going on. Also, not sure if this means anything, but when i was reading it aloud, it didn't flow 100%.

So, the original idea was one second. I switched it to one minute so he could get that long, especially with earlier generations. Ion any case, a story with either one would make me just as happy. :)

The idea was a whole world massive spell. Perhaps via some items. The original idea was just one second from everybody. That would give him a couple hundred years.

I wanted to add that in today's day and age it was noticed and talked about, and signs pointed to the otherwise good wizard.

The setting and interaction between the characters was beautiful.

Critique? I'm not a big fan of the style, i didn't find the story itself to be that interesting, and i didn't like the mildly crude word in the first of your three posts. But i have to repeat: The setting and interaction between the characters was beautiful.

Reply to comment by frogandbanjo in [WP] Your 3 wishes were to live forever, to always have what you need, and to free the genie. The genie and you then enjoy life for a long time, until he goes his own way. Billions of years later, the genie comes back to see how you're doing, and offers you another 3 wishes, just for old time's sake by chacham2

I'm not sure if i truly followed that, but it was interesting nonetheless. Thank you or the story!

Reply to comment by Jce_WritingPrompts in [WP] As a necromancer, you are in the business of reanimating the dead for a few days at a time. Families say goodbye, businesses get cooperate secrets, scientists test their drugs, etc. The more they pay, the better they are restored and the longer they stay, as it does take a lot out of you. by chacham2

Sad and sweet. Thank you for the reply!

I assume you meant last?
