Steve: I know what you mean. One dude draws on the power of forbidding swamps to conjure a floating skull that can like take control of the minds of orcs or something and then some dude is like "By the power of these islands, give me a bottle of oil."
Zack: "99 cents at the Jewels. I'll get ya ten for five dollars. You don't even gotta tap no islands."
Steve: But that skull dude is gonna be mighty surprised when an elephant skips over some islands and busts out his glowing evil brain.

Steve: I do not have to pay rent and I'm only back for like six months tops.
