I don't know who snuck into my sanctum and rearranged my arcane runes to spell out "your beard stinks", but I'll have you know it won 2nd place last year at the annual dark wizard meetup.

It actually stinks tho, you’re supposed to deflesh the bones before you weave them into the hair.

Ok so, this is a little embarrassing but I could use some advice. Awhile back, when I was young and horny, I did this infernal deal to make me attractive to a particular (dumb, but hot) person. It worked real well, so I did it a few more times whenever I got tired of the old model. But somehow the overlapping incantations kinda took on a life of their own and started spreading so now every dumb person who sees me starts to worship me, even the ones who are not hot. :(

At first it was kinda nice, I let them make me their god-emperor and they brought me steaks and cold drinks and taco salads whenever I wanted. Sometimes I set them to fighting each other for the LOLs. But then, they started wanting me to actually do like, god-stuff. Which is annoying because it doesn't benefit me so why would I even care? But they keep praying and begging and crowding around and touching me with their dirty peasant hands. I just want them to go away!

I tried ignoring them and mocking them but it made them love me more. Tried inciting them to war so they'd all get killed off, but the dumbasses only wandered around the battlefield until they got lost or bored, so barely a handful died. Lately I have tried acting like a drooling idiot myself; I figured the more I act like them the more repulsive I would be (gods know they are disgusting and off-putting). But no matter how idiotically I behave, they are still there with the chanting and the worshipping and the "oh please smite my enemies" and ugh.

Please don't ask me to cancel the original deal, that would mean I would lose my pulling power for the actual hot ones. I just wanna know how I can make the rest of the shambling masses go back to worshipping from afar and not expecting results?

that could get really complicated if your follower’s faith leads them to become Paladins, esp if youre an evil wizard.

like how does that work?? they might vanquish you and then, their powers fade? you die and are reborn as a diety for real?

actually wait churches are tax exempt this could work out ok

This is actually a great scheme to have an endless supply of paladins to corrupt for various high level spells and needs.

too dangerous imo, imagine the redemption arc a paladin gets to have if they faithfully follow what turns out to be a false diety who they then overthrow in a blast wave of pure goodness

no way they could resist that’s like paladin crack

Unions aren't really a problem for me as I've had to do away with the practice of minion-keeping entirely. It was useful back in the good old days when the collective consciousness of humanity still perceived a "minion" as some sort of necromancer's pet imp or gremlin, but these days it's become impossible to incarnate any new help that isn't one of those irritating mascot creatures from a movie that shall remain unnamed for reasons of licensing fees.

When I accidentally manifested a batch a few years ago, I disposed of them with Flesh To Polymer (Plastics) and sold them disguised as Limited Edition Nendroids to Americans on the ebay. But woe betide them all when the enchantment wanes!!

It's not a "union", it's a Guild. Union has an employee/underling connotation. Guilds are a band of highly specialized entrepreneurs.

To be fair, no one reads the newsletters or bothers to vote in the board elections.

Some kid who got assigned credit for taking out some lovely British wizard back in the 90s.


In reality, Phantimolo set the whole thing up because Voldemort was self-promoting really hard and tainting the dark wizard brand, and he thought it'd be hilarious to make Voldemort think he got killed by a literal baby. He was right.

The scrying party where we all watched it kick off was great. Idiot Brits thought "a mother's love" reflected the killing spell. loving hilarious.

the funniest part about harry potter is that when he grew up, he had a short stint as a stage actor, where he performed equus. and that awakened something terrible within him. later in life, he moved to the state of washington, where he died. you may know him better by his online handle, mr. hands

I heard he had become a cop, so I guess it's a blessing that he got a less horrific ending.

I've been Bog Hag-ing it and since everyone goes "soooo, a Witch, but crust punk?" I got myself a witch hat.

It's got one of those beer can hats inside, and the point screws off as a flask!

(but that's harder to be surreptitious about at the rite/coven/HOA meeting)

During the last raging pestilence that swept through the region* I found that I really dig the Plague Doctor vibe. It has all the benefits of your usual wizard robe (e.g., toss it on over whatever 'fit, and nobody knows if you're going commando that day) plus with the mask, I don't have to worry about pesky things like oral hygiene or the fact that I can't grow a proper Evil Beard to save my life. Bonus points that nobody can see me rolling my eyes at the Spellcasters Local 360 meetings when the Paladins take the floor to whinge about who keeps contaminating the groundwater.

*Look I am just saying, if it's *that* important to properly dispose of used spell ingredients, then maybe the packet of pox-ridden graveyard bone dust TM should have a warning label about why it shouldn't get dumped into the nearest reservoir.

The best thing about plague doctor masks is that you can stuff psychedelic herbs down the beak and trip balls during those meetings.

LOL I turned mine into a bong and convinced everyone I am 1/8th Fire Demon and that's why I sometimes blow smoke. The only ones who actually recognize the smell are the druids but I am half Druish on my mom's side so they won't dime me out. Sometimes I set up a containment globe over our corner of the room so we can hotbox.

The next time this happens you should ask the paladins why they're so busy complaining about it and not actually going out and stopping whatever fiendish blackguard is doing this. If you do it right you could probably sow a lot of chaos and division among them, or possibly turn other 'good' people against them. Suggesting that the paladins have become lazy and corrupt could go a long way.

A few identities ago I spent a while as the secretary of the local Tower Owner's Association and it's honestly shocking how much evil you can get up to in that kind of organization. A few well-timed charm spells to get some patsies to say the right thing at the right time, some selective editing of the meeting minutes, and you wouldn't believe how much misery and unhappiness you can create. Just make sure you're never the chair of the TOA, you get a bit too much of the spotlight and let's be real it's way more fun to be the guy who sits beside the high chair and whispers subtly evil advice into the occupant's ear.
