Description

I got the name "Theotormon" from a series of percentile tables in the Dungeon Crawl Classics Core Rulebook dealing with names and titles of NPCs. "Theotormon" was one of the names which a Wizard or Cleric could have.

I looked up the name on its own, reasoning that it must have come from somewhere other than a Warhammer Fantasy OSR, and who would it have come from but William Blake? I haven't read the poem which it came from, but in it, Theotormon is an incarnation of the sexual morality of William Blake's day, which refuses sex outside of marriage and really intimacy of any kind. I'm not sure if it fits Cerulean Mage Theotormon the Capricious's wiry, mercurial personality.

The spell exchange is, again, modeled off of rules from Dungeon Crawl Classics. The book specifically cautions, similarly to the ADnD Dungeon Masters' Guide, that most magic-users are too covetous and possessive of their spell formulae to share them with strangers. The book offers a condition in which an NPC magic user could give a spell to a player character, on the condition that they follow some immensely difficult quest on the magic user's behalf.

I had this happen in this comic; Theotormon saw Brutus Laurentius Magnus using the spell *Magic Shield*, which counters Magic Missile in any and all cases, and being suddenly gripped to have the spell for himself, he supplicated Brutus Magnus for the secrets to it. Thus, Brutus sent Theotormon into the wilderness to acquire a blue rose (an impossible kind of flower), which Theotormon did, and which this page is his reward for (a very thorough lesson with a decent amount of chiding from a magic-user who is 1/4 Theotormon's age).

I modeled the blue rose off of the rose in Beauty and the Beast. For all of my hostility towards the Cinematic Mainstream, I will still take ideas from it here and there. Without Golden Age Disney, we'd have no Kentaro Miura or John Waters, after all.
