Dewicked trope
Changed line(s) 52 (click to see context) from:
* BurlyDetectiveSyndrome: The author does this a lot, combined with lots of viewpoint characters and [[LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters even more side characters]], which can make dialogue confusing. Damien gets referred to as "the Hand," soldiers get referred to as "the Mage-Captain" even when there's more than one Mage-Captain around, so on and so on.

edited Person of Mass Destruction
Added DiffLines:
** Applies to all Rune-Wrights, but Rune-Wrights with [[PowerTattoo Runes of Power]] like Damien and the Mage-Kings family take it to another level. It nearly [[CastFromHitPoints burned him up]] but Damien stood off '''three''' [[OrbitalBombardment orbital bombardment]] attempts in ''Alien Arcana'' and [[LadyOfWar Jane Alexander]], sister of the Mage-King, destroyed an [[MagicalParticleAccelerator AntiMatter Ring]] that encircled an entire gas giant planet on her own in ''The Service of Mars''.
