Sorcery?
With each of those you mentioned, save for Jebus, it was a lot of evil and some luck. With Jebus, it was some good and a lot of luck.
Protection from Evil
Abjuration [Good]
Level: Clr 1, Good 1, Pal 1, Sor/Wiz 1
Components: V, S, M/DF
Casting time: 1 standard action
Range: Touch
Target: Creature touched
Duration: 1 min./level (D)
Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless)
Spell Resistance: No; see text
This spell wards a creature from attacks by evil creatures, from mental control, and from summoned creatures. It creates a magical barrier around the subject at a distance of 1 foot. The barrier moves with the subject and has three major effects.
First, the subject gains a +2 deflection bonus to AC and a +2 resistance bonus on saves. Both these bonuses apply against attacks made or effects created by evil creatures.
Second, the barrier blocks any attempt to possess the warded creature
Third, the spell prevents bodily contact by summoned creatures. This causes the natural weapon attacks of such creatures to fail and the creatures to recoil if such attacks require touching the warded creature.
Arcane Material Component: A little powdered silver with which you trace a 3-foot -diameter circle on the floor (or ground) around the creature to be warded.
In the English language, all sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark; proper names begin with a capital letter; and paragraphs are usually separated by a line.
And above all, all sentences should make sense.
One word salad a day keeps sanity away.
@Goomy pls
My theory hypothesis is that, at one point, Jesus really got the hang of that "luck" part, if you catch my draft. In a good way (studying) or bad way (cheating)? I don't know.
"evil and mentally very crazy thats the knockout combo"
Yeah, your own sanity seems down for the count, I don't know if I'd call you "evil" but I wouldn't allow you near kids, pets, or senior citizens.
Nice bit of demonizing mental illness, asshole!
And you really aren't in any position to speak about/criticize people for insanity...
Reynardine FTW!
I do seem to remember seeing some of this before... I think it went:
"46: And the hands of Moses thus became weak from their unholy cochot 47: And the hand puppets did therefore falter, and the People understood him not."
As a public service, the following might help shed some light on what Anonymous is on about:
Haman - villain in the Book of Esther
Bilaam - Balaam, he of the talking ass in the Book of Numbers
Hashem - literally "the Name" = God
Amalak - Amalek, whose name the Israelites are commanded to blot out
Ramban - Nachmanides, 13th century rabbi, philosopher and commentator on the Bible
Parashat Beshalach - a parashah is the weekly portion of the Torah read in the synagogue; Parashat Beshalach is Exodus 13:17-17:16.
You're welcome.
@ to those laughing at the funny foreign words
The ideas about evil and mental illness is weird and the admixture of religious zealotry makes it funny. The fact that someone uses terms in a language or jargon you don't understand does not. Indeed, were a quote from a creationist ignorantly mocking a scientist's use of scientific jargon to appear on FSTDT, I feel confident that the posters here would rip the OP to shreds. And rightly so. Mocking someone not because you disagree with their terms, but simply because you don't know what they mean, makes you no better than the creationist.
Mockery from a position of knowledge of what your target is talking about makes you sound like Rachel Maddow; mockery from a position of ignorance of what your target is talking about makes you sound like Sarah Palin.
@ Hasan Prishtina
Sorry about that. I guess I'm snickering not so much because of the Hebrew words & names but that that the whole thing's put together in such a word salad way that I can't make head or tail what this person is talking about.
And if this is a person who has a mental illness, I'm genuinely sorry. Heck, I should be more understanding. I have psych issues myself. I also believe in "mystical occult magic" stuff. My hypocrisy was unintended. I'm a big dip!
Can you create the closest deciphering of this person's statement? Thanks.
@ Hasan Prishtina
So what?
Who cares if he's talking about a real rabbi from the Middle Ages or about the Easter Bunny? It's still whacko.
Power of sorcery, evil and magic sorcery, fights the holy powers, use hexes witch craft demons sorcery black magic evil eye.
Come on.
Let me get pen and paper, this is gonna make for a really cool short story!
Amalek
3
Legendary Creature - Demon
Whenever you cast a Black Sorcery, place one Curse Counter on a Creature. That Creature loses -1/-1 and all their abilities.
(4/4)
@ SpukiKitty
That's very sweet of you. What I think he's trying to say is this: "What is really awful is the combination of real evil and complete craziness - that's the power of sorcery found in Haman, Jesus Christ,* Balaam, Hitler etc., who all used their mental illness in combination with evil and magic sorcery, fighting the power of God [or should that be G-d?] head on. That's why God fights Amalek, who loved to use hexes, witchcraft, demons, sorcery, black magic and the evil eye. [In the passage about the attack on the Israelites by Amalek, Moses encourages the Israelites by raising his hands to show that God is with them; when they drop, the Amalekites start winning] and it's because of the Amalekites' unholy powers that the hands of Moses become weak. May Jews be aroused against magic and may they be joined by the Prophet Elijah in the way that Nachmanides discusses in his commentary on this particular portion of the Torah."
*Ultra-Orthodox Jews often have a phobia about anything to do with Jesus, so they won't write his name out in full. How ironic that that's just the way in which they treat the name of God.
@checkmate
I didn't say it wasn't crazy. I said it was its craziness that made it worthy of mockery. Mocking the OP for what he's saying is fine, and if you look on the first page, you see I mock him myself. Mocking the OP over his belief in magic is fine. Mocking the OP because he uses words you don't understand is not. I hope you can see the distinction.
@ Old Viking
I have; it's part of a popular genre in late nineteenth/early twentieth century literature of humorous writing about foreign languages; another famous, and more amusing, example is Cuey-na-Gael's An Irishman's Difficulties With the Dutch Language . But these are about grammar, false friends and such; what have they to do with using particular foreign terms?
@Hasan Prishtina
Thanks, HP. It makes more sense, now. I confess that I do believe in spellwork to some degree (shoot me), so the message, while frummie, isn't as deranged as it looks on the surface. What the OP is saying is "I'm a Haredi & I think magic is evil & idolatrous".
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
