Re: OOTS #806 - The Discussion Thread
It doesn't matter what you think of the wand itself or how it targets what Durkon had been working on countering or how Durkon's spell fizzled. It still isn't a deus ex. That term explicitly refers to intractable problems solved by unknown devices. "We can't fight a caster" isn't intractable. They can just run. Having the wand doesn't "solve the problem" it just makes them think they might be able to win this fight.
Why does everyone love this term so much? There is no little deus ex. If you're calling it a little deus ex it isn't a deus ex. The term demands salvation from nowhere. Hence the God reference in the name. Nale and Sabine didn't even need saving.
