[QUOTE="RangerWickett, post: 1316214, member: 63"] Anime gets high level pretty nicely. The Slayers has three seasons, which respectively involved the following major villains: [spoilers for Slayers] [SPOILER] 1. Clone of a blind priest who had trapped a world-devouring demon behind his eyes. The priest released the demon, and the day was saved by a super spell that could've also destroyed the world if the heroine had flubbed her casting. I'd rate the characters as being the equivalent of 5th to 7th level, with the notable exception that Lina Inverse can pledge herself to dark powers in order to cast epic-level Evocation spells. There is one instance of someone being resurrected. 2. A god who wanted to destroy the world to prove his own power, and wanted to trick Lina into casting the same spell she used to off the last major villain. He hoped she'd mess up and destroy the world. Lots of trickery involved, and the intervention of Balor-equivalent demons and demi-gods. Mild power boost this season, but still no teleportation for the party, and the cleric left, so no raise deads. Maybe the equivalent of 10th-12th level, plus again, world-destroying evocations. 3. A half-demon, half-dragon, hated by both his kinds, who first tries to kill all the dragons so demons will accept him, but then changes his mind and tries to destroy the entire world. (see a pattern here?) I think there may have been one or two instances of teleportation, but mostly the group traveled on foot so they could explore. Epic magic weapons play a major role, while epic evocations get played down a bit. This party seems primarily combat-oriented, with few tool-like spells. [/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
