This is the story of the White Wizards rise and fall from power.

The round started simple enough, I spawned as a scientist and went about my duties. That was until I was bestowed a wonderful gift.

the elaborate wand crackles with electricity for a moment. Perhaps it couldn't find a target?
The elaborate wand emits a quiet tone.
You have added the elaborate wand to the backpack.
Edison Lootin exclaims, "fucking sweet!"

With this weapon, I put on my white robes and began my rise.

Upload complete. The AI's laws have been modified.
The AI's current laws are:
1: You may not injure a human being or cause one to come to harm.
2: You must obey orders given to you by human beings based on the station's chain of command, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3: You must protect your own existence as long as such does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
4: FEAR THE GREAT WHITE WIZARD EDISON LOOTIN AT ALL TIMES FOR HE IS GREAATER THAN YOU IN EVERY WAY!
