Completely unimpressed by the behaviour of pretty much every person in the room, the Nomad Simply stood up and strode out of the room, his light brown cloak billowing behind him.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the first fight of our Arena. I know that all of you can not wait for us to start! Now, who will live and who will die? The gentleman shapeshifter, or the Stahlkeiser himself? Let the fight begin!
A gong is heard, and the non-existent crowd cheers.
Lord Winch's turn

Winch makes a Concentrate maneuver to cast Fireball. If successful, he dedicates 5 FP to the spell. Either way, he takes his 1-yard step straight upwards.
A large firaball appears on Whinch's eye, as he steps into the air.
Naritus's turn.
**************
Meanwhile a valet approaches the waiting champions.
"If you would like to follow the duel, this way please."
The ones who follow him arrive to a movie theatre, full with green velvet chairs. On the screen, the fight has already started.
"I am Mr. Iadd, your commentator! Sit back and enjoy the show! It looks like Whinch is about to walk the stairway to heaven, while reading to road to hell for Natirus!"

I'm goin' for the shapeshifter. What about you guys?
Natirus makes a Move maneuver and moves 5 feet downwards/forwards. He then shapeshifts instantly into a fire elemental.
[spoiler]
Interesting, ladies and gentleman! The shapeshifter decided to fight fire with fire! Hahaha!
In the arena 1 second has passed. But on the TV screen, it looked... different.

Winch's turn.

Nathim takes a Move and Attack maneuver to launch the fireball and then move five yards higher.
The fireball is flying toward the burning Natirus.

Natirus takes a dodge maneuver to try to dodge out of the way of the speeding fireball.
And the fireball flies over the arena! And it becomes smaller and smaller... aaaand it is absorbed by the flaming shapeshifter's arua. Although he seems to cringe a bit. What other tricks may he have up to his skin?
Natirus's turn.

Natirus takes again, 5 steps towards Lord Winch.
(I am so dead)
Five burning steps forward.
Winch makes a concentrate maneuver to cast Snow with a 25-yard radius targeted on the center of the arena; he takes one step upwards.
Whoops. I forgot to add -25 for range penalty for targeting an area 25 yards away, so my post is invalid.
At least you can escape the Critical Fail this way, if you take a different action, or increase the size of your spell to cover the area by targetting the ground below you. Although that would still be -7 penalty.
Oh, I guess I misunderstood the description of area spells (this is the first time I've really used magic in GURPS); when it said "If you cannot touch any part of the affected area, apply a skill penalty equal to the distance in yards from the nearest edge of the area.", I thought it meant "If you can touch the edge of the affected area, there is no distance penalty". If that's not the case and the distance penalty is equal to your distance from the center of the area, then... I guess target it directly under myself and make the radius 50 yards. That should make the effective skill 14 like it was in your original post, right?
Oh. I missed this part: "If you cannot touch any part of the affected area, apply a skill penalty equal to the distance in yards from the nearest edge of the area."
Sorry. Although, this would give you -6 on your skill, since you are flying. But you don't have to increase the radius.

Okay after this exchange and extensive conversation on IRC, I change my turn to "Make a move maneuver to move straight forward at maximum move.". I know how magic works I promise
Five steps forward, in the sky.
First, sorry for doubleposting since it is nearly two weeks while I was waiting for Crilly to post aresponse. I know that there isn't much to post at the moment apart from "go five yard forwards', since I apparently overstated the need for space, but still. I have worked too much on this to die.
So, I'll be stealing Crilly's character until he decides to post. Even though I will be missing for a few days, starting tomorrow evening, at least this shall bring back this topic.
Natirus walks five steps forward, again.

Lord Winch makes a move maneuver; as he is moving straight forward for two straight turns, he adds one to his move per the sprnting rules (B354).
Steps done, sprinting bonus is allowed.
And Crilly said that he will post his next turn.
