The Magical Influence of Donna Summer on Pop Music

By admin

"May this be magic" is a song by Donna Summer, a popular American singer and songwriter known as the "Queen of Disco." Released in 1983, the song carries a catchy and upbeat tune combined with Donna Summer's powerful vocals. The lyrics are about the transformative power of love and the hope for a magical connection with someone special. The song opens with the line "Something strange in my mind, something I can't define," setting the tone for a mysterious and enchanting experience. Donna Summer's voice soars as she sings, "May this be magic, could it be love that's calling?" The chorus repeats this line several times, emphasizing the desire for something extraordinary and magical. Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the feeling of being deeply in love and the enchantment that comes with it.


When the new form is achieved, everything takes on a temporary appearance of solidity, but this is false. The bones are already beginning to drift back into their natural shape, taking the rest of the body with them. In Karnee and non-Karnee forms, they remain more flexible than human bones. The change can be partial or complete, and can last from a brief, weird, slight alteration of facial features that lasts for merest seconds to a total-body alteration that lasts for as much as a day.

An early Galweigh progenitor attempted to put a curse on a Sabir enemy and while the curse affected the man it hit with the left-hand spiral of the curse, the backlash from the spell struck the caster with an equal force, and with the right-hand spiral of the curse. The Karnee forms all have in common that they maintain the original pigmentation of the victim, that they are sleek and sexy in an exotic way, and that the victim s human origins remain vaguely apparent.

Curse of the shapeshifter

Throughout the song, the lyrics describe the feeling of being deeply in love and the enchantment that comes with it. Donna Summer wonders if the intense emotions she is experiencing could be something supernatural, as she sings, "Stone me and bien me, twist my emotions, only love could make me feel so strange." The catchy melody and Donna Summer's impressive vocal range make "May this be magic" a memorable song in her discography.

If the heroes kill the Warlock, or prevent the Overlord from warding off the curse before the end of turn 7; the heroes win the game.

Overlord

Setup

Heroes

4

Overlord

The game starts with the Overlord’s turn.
The Overlord starts with 11 gems in their Reserve zone and 0 in their Fatigue zone, and places the recovery token showing a recovery value of “7” in the Book of Skelos.

When an event tile is activated the Overlord resolves the following event:

Reinforcement: 5 reinforcement points .

The River

Special Rules

Animal Form: At the beginning of the scenario the tiles of the Giant Spider, the Giant Scorpion and the Camel are placed next to the Book of Skelos, unbloody side faceup, these tiles are considered as being the animal form tiles. The models of the Giant Spider, the Giant Scorpion and the Camel are placed next to the Book of Skelos, these models are considered as being the animal form models.

Pirate: During setup the Overlord places the Pirate tile (orange, armor value 2 and movement value 2) next to the Book of Skelos. Pirates are considered neither as being heroes’ allies nor Overlord units; they do not count for hindering for either side. Pirates can only be killed by a melee attack performed by the Overlord troops. They do not suffer damage from wounds inflicted by heroes.

Curse: If at least one of the animal form tiles is placed unbloody side faceup at the beginning of each activation of the Warlock tile, the Overlord carries out the following steps:

1- The Overlord chooses one of the animal form tiles unbloody side faceup and turns it bloody side faceup.

2- The model representing the Warlock is then replaced by the animal form model corresponding to the animal form tile that has just been turned bloody side faceup. This model now represents the Warlock. The Warlock’s turn will be played in the current animal form.

3- While the Warlock is represented by an animal form model, all the characteristics of the animal form tile (movement, armor, attack and skills) corresponding to the animal form model that represents the Warlock, replace all the characteristics of the Warlock tile (movement, armor, attack, spells and skills). If Mitra’s Halo is activated when the Warlock is transformed, it is automatically deactivated.

If all the animal form tiles are placed bloody side faceup at the beginning of each activation of the Warlock tile, the Overlord carries out the following steps:

1- The Overlord turns all the animal form tiles unbloody side faceup.

2- The model that represents the Warlock is replaced by the model of the Warlock. The Warlock’s turn is then played in the form of the Warlock.

3- While the Warlock is represented by the model of the Warlock, the characteristics of the Warlock tile (movement, armor, attack, spells and skills) are used for all that concerns the Warlock.

Warding off the curse: To ward off the curse the Overlord must sacrifice a Pirate on each of the three altars. For this the pirate must be in the same area as an altar token and the Overlord must kill them using a melee attack. When a pirate is sacrificed on an altar, the altar token is removed from the board as well as the animal tile and model corresponding to the altar token (1-Camel, 2-Giant Scorpion, 3-Giant Spider). If the animal form model that must be removed from the game corresponds to the current form of the Warlock, it is then replaced on the board by the model of the Warlock.

Escorting the Pirates: If an Overlord unit starts its activation phase in the same area as a Pirate, the Overlord can decide to move the Pirate model at the same time as the activated unit. The Pirate makes the same move (or part of the move) as the Overlord unit. If the Overlord uses a Movement benefit for the activated unit, the Pirate can follow the unit without the Overlord moving an additional gem for the pirate’s move. At any moment of the unit’s move, the Overlord can decide that the Pirate will no longer follow the unit in question and so stop the Pirate. It must not be forgotten that Pirates do not count for hindering. An Overlord model can only move one Pirate with them and each Pirate can only be moved once per tile activation.

Attacking the Warlock: When the Warlock is represented by an animal form model the heroes cannot target it with an attack (Melee or Ranged).

Altar: A hero in the same area as an altar can perform a simple Manipulation to activate the altar. If a hero activates the altar corresponding to the current form of the Warlock (1-Camel, 2-Giant Scorpion, 3-Giant Spider) then the animal form model is replaced by that of the Warlock.

Lines of Sight: A character in a wall area has line of sight to each ground area within the fortress walls. An area in a tower and an area outside that tower are within each other’s line of sight only if the areas are in or adjacent to the tower.

Leaping from Walls: A character can move across a parapet from a wall area to a ground area as though it were a border. The character rolls 2 Red dice for falling damage. If the character has Leap, the character rolls 1 Red die instead.

Rock Slides: A character can move into a rock slide area from an adjacent area. The character must spend 2 extra movement points unless the character has Climb.

Chests: During setup, the Overlord places 4 chests on the board as indicated by the setup diagram. The asset deck contains: 1 Battle Axe, 1 Turanian Sword, 1 Tribal Mace, and 1 Zingarian Bow.

Karnee is shapeshifting from birth as the result of a curse handed down from generation to generation. It is intrinsic magic for the affected character, not controlled by magic but (sometimes and with varying effectiveness) by concentration and self-control.
