[quote="AmethystFae"]I got to thinking about the concept of magic addictions after having watched a Mozenrath episode. I mean, when they take his gauntlet away, he acts as if he needs it to survive. Not to mention the fact that he collects magic. The way he demanded his gauntlet in Lost City of the Sun and Two to Tangle reminded me of how people addicted to smoking need to have that cigarette at 2 p.m. in order to avoid DTs. So, do you think magic is to Mozenrath the way cigarettes are to a chronic smoker? Or, perhaps it's the gauntlet itself. I mean, we know that wretched thing has some pretty nasty side effects. Thoughts? ~Hikaru[/quote]
