Great movie. Another character of that movie usually creeps into my games. Whenever I get a flying indi or play caelum, I usually refer to the flyers that tie up the rear as "danger seekers" screeming insults as they hop right into the fray (to get slaughtered usually).

I just had a mage do a similar thing during an assasination attempt - some weak defensive spell, followed by 2 castings of rage on the Abysian flying assasin.

Fortunately, the mage was the Angel you get from the Heavenly Host spell, so next round she whipped out her Flaming Ginsu and put an end to the battle.

Perhaps the most damaging, inane spellcasting I've had was a communion master of some sort (a while ago, don't even recall the nation I was playing, but probably Pythium) casting Phoenix Pyre -- which carries over to the communicants as well -- and then promptly falling over dead, possibly from previously taking a poison hit or something like that.
Boom. Explosion hurts those nearby, including communicants. Boom. Boom. More boom. Boom. Aiiiiiiie!

If they fixed Blink, and you made all masters cast Phoenis Pyre, and then blink all masters and communicants into enemy ranks... imagine the firework

"Soliders, hold you fire! it's going to explode!! RUN!!!"

My favorite: A Mictlan Priest King casting Heal on a nearby blood slave who had been slightly wounded. The poor girl was sacrificed just one round later.

And of course, there's the necromancers and demonologists casting Drain Life or Leeching Touch on their fellow mages - evil, selfish guys!
