Bingo. Luckily for you, you can find poison potions nearby.

And there are many more subjects more important than this, but we're in a Harry Potter thread, so I guess it would be off-topic talking about the other subjects. You should try to do the same: stay in-topic and contribute for the discussion. But I know you like just to pop-in without reading the whole topic and throw some "witty" short sentences and see the reaction. :P
What I am doing is making an argument from analogy, by pointing out that there are plenty of traditions which originated in pagan ritual and are regarded as perfectly harmless by mainstream Christians. As such, the fact that something has links to pagan religions is not prima facie evidence that it is unacceptable to Christians.

So Easter eggs are satanic now? Good to know.

If "satanic" to you means "everything not God's/Christian"...

If Rowling's books fit the criterion of "molding of God to match pagan gods" (despite the fact that they don't particularly mention the Christian God in any capacity whatsoever), then the modern celebration of Easter certainly does, and as such should not by your own logic be any more acceptable to you. Since celebrating Easter with chocolate eggs is a more entrenched and widespread cultural practice than reading Harry Potter novels, I'd think you'd be going after that custom with more fervour.

You have to make one by combining a shaped shield with a purifying elixir. (This goes for all the other Perfected items you need to make the artifacts, too.)

How do you make a purifying elixir, you may ask? Mix Mandrake Tincture with Demon Bile.

That would sort of suggest that it is your favourite, would it not?

If you pay close attention to the messages that appear during the fight, you'll notice that she drains your status effects. If you haste yourself, she'll take away your hasting and haste herself instead. Same thing happens if you bless yourself.

Think about how you might be able to take advantage of that.

In my opinion, Seinfeld, whilst perhaps not a bad show in itself, started something of an unfortunate trend; to wit, situational humour without any situations, leading to such train wrecks as, well, every so-called situation comedy made since. Every show is a show about nothing, and I'm sick of it. Can anyone name a modern "sitcom" that holds up in comparison to such classics as M*A*S*H or I Dream of Jeannie?

Uh, Ambidextrous doesn't affect damage, only accuracy. There's no damage penalty for dual-wielding.

Anyway, everything else that's been said is pretty much accurate. To get the most out of dual-wielding, you need very high Strength (20, preferably), and you need to be blessed.

What instrument plays the lowest pitch, and what music includes it?
Some pipe organs can produce notes as low as 16 Hz, which is essentially beyond the range of human hearing -- you "feel" most of the note and only hear the harmonics.

He registered Exile 1, Exile 2, Exile 3 and BoE at the same time, and disliked them all. Apparently he briefly forgot that he hated the engine.

Whoops. See, this is why you should always read a thread properly to figure out context before replying. Or at least, uh, read its title and hope it hasn't gone off-topic.

Technically, you don't pray to the saints; you ask the saints to pray for you. They're holier than you, so the idea is that their prayers will count more than yours would.
