Woohoo! Congrats!
I got to admit I'm cracking up picturing this, but not picturing it in the
EQ graphics sense, but as a scene in a movie where aged wizards are flipping
through spell books, standing, wiggling their fingers, frowning at the
results, and sitting back down to flip through more pages while a teeny,
tiny, itsy-bitsy, little minstral, staring straight up and hacking blindly
at the toes before him, belts out "Here I come to save the day!" through a
mega-phone.
Anyway, it's cracking me up. ;^)
Peace
Evulia, bard of 11 missed notes, Tunare
