Why did Qarr turn green?

Apparently, one of the somatic effects of Dimensional Anchor is that the target turns green. I would like to present a clever, tongue-in-cheek analysis of why being green prevents one from teleporting, but I haven't slept much this week and it is sadly beyond my capabilities to do so...

I thought the same thing at first. "Wait a minute...who's the green imp again?"
 

Why did Qarr turn green?

I'm going to go with "that's the color he appears to be while invisible, when observed using the See Invisibility spell". After all, he never did anything that would break the invisibility spell he was operating under.

Or we could chalk it up to a coloring change and go on. But I like my explanation better.

Well, in defense of that theory, it's not easy being green.
 

Someone really should develop a Bugsby's Flicking Hand spell. The Single Digit spell is probably a Cantrip with a very powerful morale effect. I wonder if he also developed a Bugsby's Noogie/Wedge Hand spell?

(And the turning ones' self invisible before peeing? Very handy...)
 



It's actually been done before. An earlyish Drizzt novel had a wild mage named Harkle who cast Bugsby's Flicking Digit to pop the heads off some undead whose feet were trapped in ice.

That was Harkle Harpell, and the spell was "Bigby's Snapping Digits." Harkle wasn't really a wild mage... he was a Harpell. Which is much worse.
 

Bugsby's Expressive Single Digit has one of my favorite somatic components.

The rather annoyed and dismissive attitude with which V treated the imp was amusing. Almost as good as seeing Kubota turned to dust.
