I PROBABLY SHOULD'VE LOOKED UP THE QUOTE WHEN I MADE THIS, BUT I AM FUCKIN' DISORGANIZED AS SHIT AND WAS BUSY SUPLEXING A SAHUAGIN WEARING A BOLO TIE WHEN I SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROOFREADING FOR ACCURACY! YOU MAY ASK, "WHO WAS WEARING THE BOLO TIE, YOU OR THE SAHUAGIN? ANSWER: YES!
It sounds cool, but remember, you could learn True Polymorph and make a clay golem every day. Or learn True Resurrection and bring back a legendary hero (or big bad, if you prefer). Or Gate and summon your opponent into a room full of Glyphs of Warding just because you know their name. Or Wish and make a new Clone or Simulacrum or bind a demon for 100 days or whatever other crazy exploits you can find. Is being able to deal a bunch of damage from a mile away once a day really worth it?
Sometimes you need to send a message. A bunch of meteors wiping out an advancing army will make any king think twice before asking you to pay taxes again.
