    Surviving as a low level wizard.

    Avoid getting 'marked' as an arcane caster for as long as possible. Strap a shield on your back and walk around with a spear in your hand. You'll look just like a peasant levy or hireling. Nobody wastes spells on cannon fodder when they could be taking down threats. Don't wear wizard robes and...

    Serenity DVD [SPOILERS]

    Unmentioned so far is the fact that we know that she has at least some experience in pyrotechnics, as evidenced by the flash-bangs disguised as incense... Such toys would have been extremely useful against foes that are being funnelled through a narrow passage, but it would also be a bit...

    Good Fantasy anime

    For the love of all that's holy, don't watch ANY of the Fox desecrated Escaflowne, watch the original. (preferably subbed, not dubbed) Also, for a break from the drama, watch Dragon Half.
