You forgot: 5. Nothing. Why would we want to stop the wizard from blasting trolls with fireballs?
Because the other characters might want their spotlight time with the trolls.
Tim Franzke you were not present, when I played DW the first time. I only rolled once under 10 that evening. XD
Well, no one said “What stops a Wizard from blasting all the trolls to death before anyone else gets a chance to interact with the trolls?”
That’s a much more complicated question than just “What stops a Wizard from blasting trolls?”
Well the original question was “What stops the Wizard from saying i blast the trolls with 5 fireballs and 3 magic missiles at once“
Interesting. I’d say the fact that there’s no “When you cast eight spells…” move.
What stops the Wizard from saying I blast the trolls with 5 fireballs and 3 magic missiles at once? The fact that everyone’s going to look at the GM to find out what happens next and the GM is going to make a move.
And when that 7-9 result suggests the wizard is loosing control of that tremendous amount of magic…. 😉
When you try to channel magical power beyond your control, Defy Danger with CON. On a 7-9, the GM can also choose to Deal Damage.
On a 6 or less, the magic is totally out of control… Choose one…
*Permanently warping magic in this place and causing a -1 ongoing to any spellcasting attempts in this area
*Injuring everyone in the area
*??
The stinking highly flammable swamp gas bubbling from the mire all around the party.
What stops the Wizard from saying I blast the trolls with 5 fireballs and 3 magic missiles at once? Nothing, except that it’s a golden opportunity.
Vasiliy Shapovalov … or even 7 golden opportunities is the GM is cruel enough
Okay: how do you do that? (Standard *World game answer)
