Lyndon Hardy: Difference between revisions

* [[Taken for Granite]]: In ''Master of the Five Magics'', a minor antagonist steals a heat-resistant ointment from the hero's mentor, slathers himself with an extra-thick coating, then taunts the hero for not having enough as they both venture into the heart of a volcano. He's [[Hoist By His Own Petard]] when the extra-thick coating fails to burn off properly as its protective power is expended... and then solidifies, trapping him in an unbreakable, suffocating shell.

* [[The Walls Are Closing In]]: In ''Secret of the Sixth Magic'', debtors in the city of Pluton are condemned to death if no one will pay off their creditors to buy them as slaves. This being a fantasy world, the method of execution is magic-powered: they're sealed inside an unbreakable cube, which then magically gets smaller... and smaller... and smaller.

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Sorcery can be used to incite this.

* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: In ''Riddle of the Seven Realms'', it is revealed that demons adopt various hobbies to avoid succumbing to this trope.
