The Life of an Incapable Mage

This is an odd little piece, somewhere between reflections on a Call of Cthulhu TRPG session and an epitaph for a character.

The scenario we played was The Strange Occurrences in Dàshén Village. It doesn't reveal specific details, but it does contain spoilers. If you're interested in TRPG Call of Cthulhu, it's best not to read this, because then you won't be able to play it.

Since my character was killed off, of course it's a tragedy.

If that's all right with you, read on.

Theme: If you cannot master forbidden knowledge, you will be destroyed by it. People shouldn't bite off more than they can chew.
