No Oni today.

Betcha thought yours truly would be touting a victory over the Death Oni, huh?

Nah. Let him sweat it out a bit. I got plans for him.

No, today was getting Fallon Star a little more caught up. We finished the Sphinx, and got her into the Temple of Storms. Just for giggles, we went and killed Krokopatra. Not amused enough, she and I decided to try Tomb of the Beguiler. Now, THAT was fun! Just when we were getting to "How much more IS there?",

I don't know whether to be elated, or insulted. Wait, what am I saying? Free spell? YES, please!
So, here's my new favorite spell, (until I hit 48):
