Since he's obsessed with gaining more power, he begins unconsciously manipulating the world around him to get more power the best way he knows how: every century a shiny comes along that just hands out more power, so he needs to be there. Now. Time begins speeding up, all over the world. Seasons pass in a week, and the characters seem unaffected by the rapidity that time seems to have gained. What's left of the wizard's sanity has been squished down into a little ball of calm in a mind violently awhirl with more magical power than his frail mortal form can contain. While he's unable to do much more physically than babble and soil himself, he is capable of subconciously shielding the characters, who he is very thankful to, from the majority of the terrible ravages of his newfound power. Now the players are a smart bunch, so they'll surely figure out that this guy is behind this, and want to do something about it. What they have to do is up to you and them, but when they discuss it for hours they should notice that at the end of their conversation their hair and fingernails are longer than when they started. I did say "mostly" shielding them, right? I meant mostly.</blockquote>
