This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

If you get to the point where a gun is required, you have already lost something.

Yeah, use land mines and claymores instead far more indirect and I don't there's magic that can reverse being turned into chunky salsa. Also never have just a gun have multiple preferably in multiple directions so the ones using the guns can't be taken out in one fell swoop.

TBH I think the dark wizards are better with covert ops so letting them learn about explosive devices might be a bad move.

First they have to figure out what the fuck is killing them, depending on how it's used an explosive doesn't really explain what it was beyond being an explosive. A short fuse grenade duck taped to the inside a door doesn't leave a lot after it's gone off, sure you know Frank the evil wizard is at best screaming in agony and missing a limb after an explosion but beyond that? Also it's kinda a trope that evil wizards are technophobic and only want to rely on their magic, the ones who don't are often the dangerous ones though in a lot of media they are also hermits who want to commit crimes against nature in peace.

I remind you that Voldemort would have to die from it like 7 or 8 times.
