What happens to the characters in this thread doesn't have any bearing on their status in future RP's. every single one of our characters could die here and still be used elsewhere tomorrow. Dragging him to hell isn't necessary in order for you to use him again. If you'd like, I'd be willing to help you better outline his abilities and give them more definitive strengths and weaknesses. Vagueness in a profile almost never helps in a fight (as evidenced by how Arty handled your magic, since I was basically taking blind shots in the dark as to how it worked and how much damage it could do against Arty's own abilities).
