Description
And here is the first actual comic containing my old D&D character, Mardak the Mad Mage. As you can see, the name is quite apt. You have no idea how much fun I used to have with him.

For those of you who don't know, the spells Mardak used here are all from Dungeons and Dragons. Rope Trick creates an invisible and almost undetectable space to hide in that is separate from the material plane. It can only be accessed using a rope connecting to a hole in the bottom. At any time you can pull the rope up and render yourself undetectable by any means save those extra-dimensional in nature.

Dimension Door is your typical teleportation spell. Let's ignore the fact that you must be touching anyone you wish to bring with you and they can't be unwilling. After all, Mardak is certainly ignoring those particular rules here. Oh well, he's Mardak after all.

Now Explosive Runes is actually one of my favorites. It allows you to enchant a book, map, scroll or any other object with writing to explode whenever someone reads it. It does impressive damage and the one reading it has zero chance of escaping the blast. It's also notoriously difficult to detect without setting it off anyway. It's a lot of fun if used creatively.

PS: One cookie and one free internet to anyone who gets the reference in the title.
