Week 4 - Magic!
For this week, the tasks are magical/element manipulation.
I’m open to negotiation on what exactly the elements are: Paracelus in the European tradition had Fire, Air, Earth and Water; the Japanese “five greats” add The Void as a fifth element; the Chinese elements are Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood.
Transform into a creature associated with an element - 50 points
According to Paracelus, the creatures associated with the 4 elements were gnomes, undines (water nymph kind of thing), sylphs and salamanders. This later made its way into the AD&D Monster Manual…
You can only claim this task once: transforming into (e.g.) a gnome and then a salamander only gets you one lot of 50 points.
Air: Fly in the air - 30 points.
This one should be easy; most of you do it regularly.
Water: Swim in water - 30 points
Earth: Enter a cave or other underground space - 30 points
Another AD&D trope…
Fire: Set something on fire - 30 points
This could either be by means of magic, or some mundane means, such as a box of matches.
Smell something - 50 points
This doesn’t really fit the elements theme, but as a lot of people found this one difficult in the last LC I thought we’d give it another try,
This task will run for one week from today (Tuesday). This will be the last week of this LC.
