    Although... a blast of HAIR might be a good weapon too? The Rapunzel wand? Your opponent's hair grows and trips them up!

    Well if we are catching our own, in my fantasy novel I wrote Okura ( a wolf companion of the MC ) d!cked her face, leaving a wet and slimy trail across her cheek.

    Almost let it slide because it had me laughing for over an hour.

    I've seen "a grizzly death" or some such in a couple of them. Grizzly is a type of bear, the word the author wants is grisly. Not quite screamingly hilarious, but I always get a grin from the mental picture of a random bear wandering through the scene.

    I dunno, encountering an angry grizzly does often lead to a grisly end.

    You can find it in the nonfiction Cyberpunk how to movie and television crossover adaptation romance section, where it'll be the #1 best seller!
