Hmm, kind of reminds me of the death of Anthimos III. Turtle Fan (talk) 22:38, April 4, 2017 (UTC)
- Still have not read Krispos, but they sound similar. See also Kolskegg Cheese-Curd. I'd suggest something for the tropes page, but it's not an idea unique to HT. TR (talk) 15:47, April 5, 2017 (UTC)
- The reason the spell killed Anthimos instead of Krispos was that Anthimos made some minor grammatical error with the archaic language. He realized his mistake a split second too late, and in terror tried and failed to correct it.
- I haven't read Kolskegg's story, but yeah, same pattern, more or less. Turtle Fan (talk) 23:01, April 5, 2017 (UTC)
