Listen, evil villains having terrifying powers is great, don't get me wrong.

But by far the funniest thing is neutral to heroic characters having terrifying powers.

Like you can guess why a malicious sadist who wants to blow up the moon would know power word: peel your skeleton, but why does a random librarian know it?

#incidentally I end up playing this character type a lot in customizable rpgs #because I have major people pleaser problems #but also I delight in being able to use fucked up dark magic #so half the time I'll build my power fantasy horror lich from a death metal album cover #and then they will do the sidequest to make sure ALL the orphans have flower crowns #(the other half of the time they look like Maria from The Sound Of Music until the death magic comes out)
