Stasis Clone is Manshoon’s most (In)famous spell, but has he researched any other spells that are known (published) or some which you can reveal… rolls Save vs NDA 🙂 ~ Many Thanks GG.That sound you hear is me trying to dodge NDAs…and, thus far, failing. Sorry.

I can say this much: Manshoon is magically far more than a one-spell pony. His specialty is twisting the nasty battle spells of others into sly new variants (usually faster and more surreptitious castings).

He (as you may have guessed by my questions) is my favourite “bad guy” NPC of the realms. I find him to be one of the greater manipulators, despite (or perhaps because of?) his OGB published “stats”. I remain convinced that the Manshoon of that era (16th lvl MU) is what he … Yes, Manshoon is the consummate chillingly evil "backroom boy" politico. Ruthless, calculating, charming when he wants to be. Pure sly, effortless, malevolent power.

As always, many thanks, and best wishes to you and your wife ~GG Hey, you just did. That's all the thanks I need.
(Well, I always need several million dollars at any given time, too, but…)
And there ARE ginger villains in the original, unpublished Realms, one of them modeled on Vivian Stanshall. ;}
