TonyC/BurningMandalaAnalysis

Burning Mandala is a pretty good sorcerer, BUT BY EVERYTHING THAT IS GOOD IN THE UNIVERSE HOW COULD I FORGET TO INCLUDE RUNE OF SINGULAR HATRED IN HIS SPELL LIST?

Seriously, GMs who plans on having a recurring archnemesis should make this spell available. Then they can watch the player twists as they consider, "Do I hate him enough to cast this spell? Okay, what about now, after this latest villainy? And what if he still manages to get away? I won't be able to cast this spell again ever."

I'm curious how the fight would've gone had Summon Animal Avatar gone through, and what would've happened I went for Unity of Closed Fist instead and it succeeded, but as far as I can tell, there's no "mistakes" in Burning Mandala's design and his course of action. Except for lack of Rune. What was I thinking? - TonyC
