Do you have a spell prepped?

[dmac188]

Not sure, but I definitely could have....didn't realize that could cause it. Thanks!

Massive encumbrance also causes FAIL rolls.

Is the imbed an out of circle spell?

Any encumbrance penalty is factored into the 'Modifiers'. As long as the endroll is at least 101 then a successful activation should occur.

>encum
It is difficult to move quickly at all, and your legs are strained with the effort of carrying all that stuff. You can probably manage to trudge around town, but hunting would be treacherous.

>raise my rod
You raise your flexible rod skyward!
1d100: 97 + Modifiers: 145 == 242

The air thickens and begins to swirl around you.
Cast Roundtime 3 Seconds.

With a prepped spell:

>pre 401
You gesture and invoke the powers of the elements for the Elemental Defense I spell...
Your spell is ready.
>get rod
You remove a flexible rod from in your serge cape.
>raise my rod
You raise your flexible rod skyward!
1d100: 7 + Modifiers: 212 == 219

You lose control of the flexible rod and a bolt of energy strikes you!
... 10 points of damage!
Searing bolt of energy strikes you, scorching a wide swath of flesh!
You are stunned for 1 round!
