A PC was an arcane scientist of sorts and wanted to tap the power of the flow, despite knowing full well that even archmages flee from these things if not fully prepared (even then they just hope to survive). Basically trying to cast a spell near these things is a surefire way to summon a purple pudding monster, turn inside out, or nuke a county. So he decided to stick his head into the flow. Not a pinky finger, or a stick, or any of the other things PCs like to try. His head. After an incredible set of luck rolls, he survived. His eyes had turned into crab eyes on stalks. He had lost his mouth entirely and his head was now purple. The healer performed a traciotomy on him, so he could live.  Then he tried the unwise move of casting magic healing on him (In Rolemaster healers take the injuries onto themselves, then heal them). He got kind of lucky and the result was that his hands started to morph with the other guys head. Deciding that they needed their healer functional, the party warrior simply butchered the mutated party member and cut the healers hands free. The magician then decides "we need to get out of here" so begins to cast an area effect teleport spell. When he cannot be disuaded, the rogue simply stabs him in the lung so he cannot complete this spell. /facepalm.</blockquote>
