[QUOTE="Shayuri, post: 4130146, member: 4936"] How about Evil Wizard Steals Gandalf's Stuff? That is, the slippery bad guy figures out a way to steal the good wizard's power! Now, armed with the inestimable, quasi-divine power of Ganelmerlin as WELL as his own mystic might, NOTHING CAN STOP HIM! MWAHAHAHA!! Clearly he's got to make a shot at godhood...or if Ganelmerlin really IS quasidivine (as most of his named inspirations are)...perhaps he already HAS it. Sort of. The PC's might have to find a McGuffin that can kill the semidivine. A fun twist would be to make that McGuffin totally and abjectly evil...since it can kill a god, or at least a shiny good demigod... Then the PC's not only have to find it and use it (which might involve nastiness), but also have to figure out a way to keep it from falling into evil hands afterwards! Or even from being corrupted by it! Alternatively, he may be wanting to use his newfound power to SLAY a god. Perhaps a meddling good-aligned god of magic...or maybe some patron power of the PC's. Or he means to travel to the orrery at the center of all the planes, where the Book of Everything is kept safe. By reading the book backwards, he can uncreate the multiverse...then rewrite it to suit his own mad desires! In this case, Ganelmerlin is the Keeper of Secrets, the only living soul who knows how to reach the orrery. Evil wizard beats him up and plucks the secret from his mind. [/QUOTE]
