This week, the malignant Thanatos finds himself faced off against a second-rate magician, Klein. While the mighty Dark Liche practices some of the oldest, purest, blackest magics, his opponent actually mixes his spells together on the fly from raw materials. Worse, almost none of Klein's alchemical spells call for the blood and tears of the innocent or the sweat and venom of the iniquitous. Perhaps one day if he has been a good little mage (or more precisely, if he hasn't been) Klein will grasp the meaning of true power. As it stands, any petty defense the alchemist tries raising with his inferior magics can be dispelled. Klein can mount no lasting defense against the Liche's true magic like Dark Gate, or natural advantages like Leaden Glare.
