Hey, I played an epideromancer who had days like that. Well, not quite, but
it was an experience, playing a character who was at any given time seconds
away from a major charge. A couple of times I did look at the opposition and
think "y'know, what use is a left hand *really*?" And while I never used a
major to make it rain blood, I did explode all the fire hydrants in the
French Quarter of New Orleans into a shower of blood...

Mostly, to me, the school is defined by the way everyone is terrified of a
character who threatens to pluck out their eye...
