[WP] Escape rooms are a competitive bloodsport. You design the puzzles and traps. You pick the contenders who will stake their lives on solving your fiendish rooms. This is your last game before retirement.	17
[WP] Coins and bills are literally magic. If you want to cast a spell, you need to pay cash. Too bad the ancient forces of mystical power don't quite get currency speculation, exchange rates, the stock market, or credit cards...	16
[WP] Everyone but you was taught several different magical rituals by the spirits. The spirits taught you (and ONLY you) just one unique ritual; "The Doom of the North".	10
[WP] At the latest blockbuster's promotional event, the film's star is socialising with a fan. As the event winds down, the celebrity admits they never got the fan's name. "Oh, me? I'm just here to rob this joint and then kidnap you for ransom!" The fan draws a gun. "Hands up, by the way!"	10
[WP] The summoning ritual brings the terrifying entity down from the stars without a hitch. The pentagram of power easily binds the strange monster to your will. You point and command, "Kill everyone in that building."	9
[WP] You paid off your debts by getting your promissory notes for assassinations accepted as legal tender. Too bad legal tender can be traded freely - and that's what your creditors did. Now all your "I.O.U. one murder" coupons are loose in the economy!	5
[WP] Urban explorers and treasure hunters are plumbing the dark depths of The New York City Labyrinth again. Don't they know there's weird monsters down there?	5
[WP] Three years ago, you promised to kill yourself if you ever used again. That's why you carry a loaded gun with you at all times. So far, you've resisted the urges. But addiction to black magic never really goes away. The urges have been getting pretty strong, lately.	5
[WP] Six months ago, magic (returned?) arrived to this modern Earth. You know this, because you're the first (and only, so far) magician.	4
[WP] For just $5, folks can get a guided tour of your huge collection of bottled human souls, the only one in the world!	3
