Unfortunately, the magic that started Marco on his dark quest for immortality was not a selfish magic, but rather [[EvilPowerVacuum a magic-powered cage around an even stronger evil]].\\

In addition, any beneficial magic he may have done before becoming an evil mage goes away as well.

** Emperor Evulz has as much of his dirty work done by his non-magical minions as possible, so the effects will be permanent. There's a reason why he has had slaves building his new palace by hand for the last eight years rather than conjure one up overnight.

*** In addition, any beneficial magic he may have done before becoming an evil mage goes away as well.
* '''Reconstructed''': However, despite the effort, it turns out the work done by his slaves, who are creatures created by magic, are undone as well no matter their efforts to the contrary.
