You know, Water-Smurf, it just occurred to me rather belatedly that Vaarsuvius should actually still have had a few spells left after all that time. After all, he didn't use all of them up in the fight against Xykon, he just simply lost, and trying to use them afterwards would have gained him nothing. Maybe it would have been a tiny bit more satisfying and awesome to see V unleash what little arcane power he still has remaining when breaking out with O-Chul and facing Xykon again. After all, Roy is right, V WOULDN'T go out without a bang. :D
