    Also not pictured are the warlock and wizard.

    Warlock is snickering away at the scene The Wizard simply says to him “What do you find funny sell-out?”

    Also not pictured is the Paladin.

    “I can cast spells! Someone tell me I’m not allowed to be here!”

        Warlock has to sell their soul to a diety. Paladins basically do the same thing but they’re jocks for god. Whenever playing as a magic user, it usually comes down to where their powers come from.

        Some worship, some sell their souls, some just learn through books, some are born with inate magical abilities, etc…

    Somebody explain the ‘children to gaslight’ line?

      Gandalf really had a thing for Hobbits, who look and act somewhat like children, though they’re significantly older their their human counterparts.

      • I saw it more as a dig at the whole loli versus lalafell thing, where fans of the former always seem to disguise their intent behind the convenient happenstance of the latter.

          They’re small, can’t grow bears (usually). They’re also generally somewhat playful and shy. They generally fear things they don’t know, which can be seen by the fact they don’t travel far beyond their homes. They are pretty care-free and not bothered by external event, and fairly joyful. They live relatively simple lives and generally seem to be easily amused.

          They don’t behave exactly like children, but they do have qualities we associate with children. That, plus their physical characteristics, I’d say childlike is a decent description, particularly if you’re just trying to insult someone for hanging around them.

      I interpreted this as Sans thinking the sorcerer is Dumbledore, who did indeed manipulated children for his own goals, but it turns out it’s Gandalf, so it’s a little bonus joke.

        @Honytawk @wahming it’s a Lord of the Rings reference. He’s gaslighting hobbits to join into “adventures” and the necromancer calls them children. Which makes him sound like one of those pedophiles who claim they aren’t pedophiles because they are into teenagers.
