To some people trying to fuck around and find out on the "whats a "normal" wizard" argument

Dont.

@concoctionboy is a living potion, @yeast-wizard is literally a sentient mass of yeast that can get drunk off itself like hes tf2 demoman (according to the official comics at least) im pretty sure @myconidwitch is partly 4-dimensional and @f4y3w00d5 is around the same power level as my literal creator (what woth being immortaler-than-immortal, being probably older than the universe, and being Apollyon-Class SCPs in their own right). Not to mention that @official-megumin has like, 3 spells and all of them make nuclear bombs look like a jammed .44 magnum. Heck im pretty sure my element isnt really "fire", but "autism". Oh and @fungal-boy-witch-yay can see everything on the island because hes KIND OF the possible incarnation of something conceptually close to a sentient humanoid shroom??? @etoibmys-eht-egar is literally a Klyntar but also from the game Changed (which is why the wizard island universe doesnt exactly "fit" in The Multiverse- it would be like fitting a fractal inside itself backwards and in reverse), there are a shitton of fae and demons and everything here and nobody (not even them probably) know from where the fuck did they come from.

Theres also a fuckton of wizard councils and at this point I think that its like with animals, as in, a large amount of wizards in one place is called a "council"

And im pretty sure the Shadow Wizard Money Gang guys have yet to reach the island

@the-adhd-sorcerer evades understanding and fucks gods on a whim

@the-gnomish-bastard is a gnome that cooks gods on a whim

@the-other-eldritch-one is a god who does stuff on a whim

@merchant-wizard-and-jerry have the ominous ability to get their hands on magic objects and Jerry well I'm not even getting into that

@the-mighty-dalob some how has an endless supply of rice

So yea I'd have to agree

[the-other-eldritch-one]

I don’t do stuff on a whim.

I murder and torture people on a whim.

*You hear demonic screeching coming from the woods. Birds scatter from the trees in the distance as the sound of something running rapidly gets louder and louder*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry draws their gun, looking towards where the thing is coming from.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*The sound of trees being snapped comes from the direction as several woodland animals rush into the clearing*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry takes a few steps back and decides to holster their gun, drawing his spear with a flourish.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*The bloodcurdling screech gets closer and louder*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry takes a fighting stance.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*Suddenly a thin, bony, mass of rotting flesh comes bursting out of the trees, covered in blood. Tall, jagged horns stick from its head, like massive, fucked up bones, branches, and deer antlers all in one. The blood flows off of it in unnatural amounts. It races toward you with wild, sudden movements of its long spindly legs, letting out a horrific, wailing scream*

*A command enters your mind and you can only think one thing:*

(*Terry shivers slightly, but stands their ground, digging their heel into the dirt, staring at the creature with defiance.*)

(*They attempt to get the creature to stop with magic.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*It doesn’t stop; all of your spells instantly dissolve in its presence*

*It leaps onto you, tackling you onto the ground and starts ripping its bony claws into your skin*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry dodges, running its spear along the side of the creature, the alloy digging into its flesh.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*The spear slices clean through, blood spilling everywhere, but it seems to have no effect on the horror, instead it gets faster, whirling around and slamming you into the ground with no warning*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry hits the ground with a thud, moving to block with the spear *)

shoulda fuckin ran when I had the chance..

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*It knocks the spear out of your hands, which flies into a tree, and it starts digging its claws into your face*

[terri-theslime13]

(*The spear doesn't budge, Terry's grip a lot stronger than expected from their mechanical arm.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*It forcibly rips the spear from your grasp and slams it into the ground a few meters away*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry takes the chance to roll away, drawing their magically enhanced gun and shooting the beast a few times with power draining bullets.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*It melds into the shadows and disappears, leaving behind a disgusting pile of blood*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry heals their wounds, and cleans the blood, before starting to prepare for a hunt.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*As you’re resting, the thing ambushes you from behind, clawing your back and drawing blood*

[terri-theslime13]

(*Terry screeches in pain, before turning quickly around, and resummoning its spear, he jabs the creature in the chest, draining its energy into the spear.*)

[the-other-eldritch-one]

*It seems unaffected by the spear, clawing the side of your face and tilting its head sideways*

Maybe you as a whole were taken, and only given the allusion of freedom… how long has it been… when will I be let out. Will they come for me? When…*

*Yoinks the prince’s soul out, puts it back in, then disappears*

(OOC: fuck you I’m an Eldritch entity and I’m very bored)

*you disappear…but you still feel a presence following you. You turn but you see nothing… then you feel a pull… you are devoured by fungus, so much fungus. Mushrooms grows from every portion of your soul. You are devoured 100,000 times in a realm of fungus and rot for one thousand years, you feel each second as it passes. Then you are released. Not a second has passed. A note appears in your hand.*

“Don’t!”

*you laugh and laugh and laugh. You laugh until you realize something. You don’t recognize this darkness. You are use to darkness, but this is different, you haven’t been here before. This in new. So where that your not use to, some were that isn’t anywhere. You feel it as you realize, maybe it wasn’t just your one of your souls that was taken. Maybe you as a whole were taken, and only given the allusion of freedom… how long has it been… when will I be let out. Will they come for me? When…*

*Yoinks the prince’s soul out, puts it back in, then disappears*

(OOC: fuck you I’m an Eldritch entity and I’m very bored)

*you disappear…but you still feel a presence following you. You turn but you see nothing… then you feel a pull… you are devoured by fungus, so much fungus. Mushrooms grows from every portion of your soul. You are devoured 100,000 times in a realm of fungus and rot for one thousand years, you feel each second as it passes. Then you are released. Not a second has passed. A note appears in your hand.*

“Don’t!”

*you laugh and laugh and laugh. You laugh until you realize something. You don’t recognize this darkness. You are use to darkness, but this is different, you haven’t been here before. This in new. So where that your not use to, some were that isn’t anywhere. You feel it as you realize, maybe it wasn’t just your one of your souls that was taken. Maybe you as a whole were taken, and only given the allusion of freedom… how long has it been… when will I be let out. Will they come for me? When…*

(OOC: fuck you I’m an Eldritch entity and I’m very bored)

*you disappear…but you still feel a presence following you. You turn but you see nothing… then you feel a pull… you are devoured by fungus, so much fungus. Mushrooms grows from every portion of your soul. You are devoured 100,000 times in a realm of fungus and rot for one thousand years, you feel each second as it passes. Then you are released. Not a second has passed. A note appears in your hand.*

Maybe you as a whole were taken, and only given the allusion of freedom… how long has it been… when will I be let out. Will they come for me? When…*
