[ WP ] As the grand wizard disables more and more of your magic spells , you are forced to use increasingly unusual and unorthodox attacks .

I knew he was expecting me as soon as I burst through the massive front doors of his home. As I stormed down the massive hall, he stood up from his throne, smiling, though his face was tinged with sadness. This was the man I had come for, and he knew why. His white robe swirled around him as he walked down the steps from his throne. 
 
 Without even introducing myself, I whipped out my wand and cast a spell, feeling the magic draw from my mind. A bolt of electricity burst from the tip, and it arched through the air, directly at him. 
 
 With a simple movement, barely twitching his fingers, he summoned a metal spike from the marble floor below, cracking the stone as the iron burst through. The lightning touched it, and immediately redirected itself to the ground, disappearing before I had even finished casting my spell. 
 
 There was a series of gasps from the sides, and I noticed that we had company. The hall of the Grand Wizard was full of onlookers, minor wizards and apprentices, dukes and knights. It seemed I had interrupted a gathering of some kind. 
 
 But I did n't care whether I was surrounded or not. The Grand Wizard might have all of them fooled, but I knew what he really was. 
 
 `` I am Jaeery, the mage of Burrowtown.'' I shouted, making sure my voice was heard by all. `` You are responsible for the destruction of my village and the deaths of my family. I have come to avenge them!'' 
 
 A man stepped forward from the crowd. He was large, practically bursting the seams on his expensive silks he wore, and with every word he spoke, his stomach shook. `` What is the meaning of this?'' He turned to the Grand Wizard, looking for an explanation. `` Valmeer, you told us you had rid the kingdom of the Bandit King. What's this about a village being destroyed?'' 
 
 The Grand Wizard shook his head gently, seemingly sad at my disillusionment. `` I am deeply saddened by the loss of your village, Jaeery. But I am not to blame. The bandits, and their foul ruler, fought back against my magic, and summoned a creature from the darkest depths of the underworld to fight against me. The monster destroyed your village, before I was able to kill it.'' 
 
 With a growl of frustration, I snapped my wand forward again, summing a fireball. I launched it at him, a ball of glowing gold, but he opened his palm toward the blast, and a torrent of water burst from his hand, quenching the flames, and then continuing across the room to knock me off my feet. It looked like an accident, an overshot of water, but I knew it was intentional, a warning. 
 
 A warning that I refused to heed. I stomped, swirling my wand, and the ceiling shook. `` I know that was n't true. *You* summoned the monster, and *You* let it run rampant, eliminating the bandits. But my family, all my friends, were casualties you could have avoided!'' From up above, rocks fell directly toward him, aiming to crush him where he stood. Twitching his fingers, a gust of powerful wind blew them away, and they landed in a pile between us. I could see the crowd, out of the corner of my eye, looking between each of us, as if this were some sort of game. 
 
 `` Boy,'' he said, `` You must be in shock. We have had several other survivors of the monster attack, and they all testify that I did my best to stop it.'' 
 
 Not even bothering to reply, I spun on a circle and opened my mouth. A noise, a combination of a road, birdsong, tweets and chitters, sounded from deep within my throat, and after a moment, a rumbling was heard, from a far away distance. 
 
 The wizard gave me a disapproving look. `` Summon as many animals as you wish. The walls of this hall do not allow them to enter.'' Even as I watched, the windows filled with creatures, as the yard outside filled with all sorts of animals. Bears and deer, birds and mice, swarmed the building. The spectators murmured and whispered, and many backed away as the bears started to claw at the windows. But, true to his word, the glass did n't even scratch. 
 
 He started this time, not giving me a chance to attack again, and raised his arm in a sweeping motion. Massive chains materialized, flying toward me, and I dodged to the side, rolling to avoid them. 
 
 I pulled a small piece of ice from my robe and popped it in my mouth, then blew outwards. A cold wind whipped through the hall, and clouds formed above me. Snow, small sharp crystals, flew around, obscuring all vision and soon filling the room. This one would take him a moment to counter, and I used that time. 
 
 In my small bubble of calm, I searched through my pockets until I found a piece of chalk, then drew a circle around me. At four separate points, I placed a small, already lit candle, then pressed my palm to the center and muttered an incantation. This was probably my most powerful attack, and I could n't waste it. 
 
 As soon as the circle started to glow, I backed away from it, into the blizzard, until it diappeared from view. 
 
 And not a moment too soon, for the snow started disappearing right then. Through the thinning flakes, the Grand Wizard appeared, holding a small ball of light and warmth. It warmed the room, dissolving the magic snow, until it was gone. 
 
 Looking around, I could n't see the result of my summoning circle. And that was a good thing. But I would have to distract him. 
 
 Turning back to Valmeer, I cast another fireball. He dismissed his miniature Sun and created another blast of water, which sprayed around when they collided. The knights and dukes were undoubtedly soaked and dirty and cold now, but probably did n't mind, what with the spectacle they were witnessing. 
 
 The Grand Wizard was dry and clean, and it was with a look of faint boredom that he started walking toward me. I knew I could n't fight against him with pure power, so I'd half to hope my creature was finished. 
 
 I snapped my fingers, and a massive worm, teeth and flesh and *speed*, burst from the cracked floor beneath his feet. Before any of us could get a good look at it, there was an explosion, and it disappeared. Bits of flesh and meat covered everything, including the Grand Wizard, and he scowled at me, his anger showing for the first time. `` You wade in dangerous waters, Mage, when summing creatures like that. But you honestly thought I would be defeated by a simple wOorm?'' 
 
 With a disdainful look, he beckoned to some knights. `` Please be so kind as to bind this boy and take him to a dungeon. He can not cast magic without his hands.'' 
 
 Before they could reach me, I shouted at him. `` You made them forget!'' 
 
 The room grew still, and he turned back to me. `` What?'' 
 
 Wiping monster bits from around my eyes, I glared at him. `` You made them forget what happened. I saw the Oblivion sphere around my village before I touched it, and I disabled it. I saw what happened.'' 
 
 His face grew red, and he strode back toward me. `` You insolent boy. I was going to let you go after you had calmed down, since it was obvious you did n't know what you were doing, with the loss of your town. But I will not let you spout vile lies about me in my own hall!'' He halted before me, and drew a wand from his sleeve. Up until now, he had used only his hands. 
 
 I did n't move, only staring up at him. `` I restored their memory.'' I whispered. `` All the survivors that you altered... I fixed them.'' 
 
 His eyes grew wide, and he opened his mouth to blast me into nothingness, when the floor fell out from underneath him. With a surprised shout, he disappeared, dropping his wand. There was a muffled chattering of animals. 
 
 Crawling over to the edge of the hole, I was greeted with a view of the tunnels my wOorm had dug, filled with animals from the outside. They were swarming over something directly underneath me, and there was a muffled shout, before the Grand Wizard disappeared. The animals dispersed, leaving only a torn white robe.
