Thank you, come again.#11: (2e) Wild mage fun again (forgot about this one...my stupidity this time).  The wild mage was handing out strength spells before a big fight.  The gnome rogue took one from her, and she wild surged...the effect was permanent!"Hmm...I could use one of those," thought my rogue.  Of course, the mage was happy to oblige.  Her wild surge ended up making my teeth explode.  A handy potion of regeneration before I woke up helped her convince me that it had all been a bad dream.</blockquote>
