Do Abysian's die messily ?

Or do the just leave an easily cleaned up pile of ashes surrounded by a big pile of, by this stage of the game, rather useless armaments.

I am more than willing to concede the game to Micah (I thought the tenor of my previous post).

I found Oceania rather frustrating to play - diversifying your magic is rather painful. Made the mistake of empowering a Capricorn and then moving him out the water .... thought he would lose some water magic like mermages do when making the transition. Had forged the guy a shiny ring to boost the newly empowered magic paths to find they had all been taken away ... duh.

Needless to say that burnt a shadload of gems ... an absolute shadload.

I will continue to get turns in .... just for as long as someone else wants to (within reason <- note the caveat).
