[QUOTE="Redthistle, post: 7122759, member: 6778305"] So, you've experienced gallstones, eh? And the experience left you feeling mean enough to want to inflict it on someone else. Heh-heh-heh. You're my kind of devious. I've never had gallstones myself, but I know people who have, and I've got enough sympathy for their pain that I'm relieved that this spell doesn't exist in the RW. @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=60210"]jaelis[/URL][/U][/B][/I] raises some good points.
