[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5278631, member: 807"] Sounds fun. :) Initial Thought: Given that it happens once every 100 years, it can't be too over the top in effect or else history would remember it (especially with some of the long-lived races being able to recount how "it just happened") --- so... it can't change a person into a mad tyrant that assumes kingdoms, etc. OR the previous users never got very far (i.e. they weren't very powerful like the mage is, thus, their story never made its mark on history before someone put the person down). Having said that, thematically, something related to "power" or "law and order" seems very appropriate. * Does the person become so obsessed with guilt and crime that everyone gets identified as criminal for one far-fetched reason or another .... and he sees it as his responsibility to get that person 'caught' for something/anything. Ex: A baker sold a family dagger to raise money when his shop was closed. that dagger was later used to commit a murder. The mad mage thinks the baker is as guilty for the murder as the murderer himself but the "law" doesn't see the connection. So the mage takes it upon himself to frame the baker for some -other- murder. Thus, the baker would get convicted and tried for a murder case. * Perhaps he feels he needs to dole out justice himself, making himself judge, jury, and executioner Ex: using the baker example from above, the mage would not frame the baker to have the legal system try him. But rather would dole out "justice" himself by either killing the baker or freezing him in solid ice, etc. * Perhaps the throne makes the user see chaos as the enemy. When combined with the mage's preference for ice/cold, he is turn will start freezing things, people, even entire communities if he gets the time. Therefore stopping the chaos that time and people bring and keeping the community "safe" for the chaos. * Perhaps the madness makes him believe he is a king himself (perhaps the king that originally owned the throne) and therefore he begins a campaign to gather what was originally that former kings Ex: The original owner of the throne was a troll king. So the mad mage would try and gather some trolls and try and retake the mountains that once belonged to that troll king. (or dwarves, etc) (anyway, i'll think about it some more later and add more if i think of something). [/QUOTE]
