Saw this today.

But we all know this is just a cover up. It was two wizards at it again.

When you summon an army of earth spirits, the earth has to come from somewhere.

  I don't know if it was just me hearing through the pain medication, but I swear I heard that a tornado in one of the 'burbs of Chicago changed shape SIX times!

  And I don't want this to be considered SPAM, but for good weird ideas/conspiracy, look for the "Suppressed Transmissions" books! Those are GOLDMINES and written by Ken Hite!

Will these books cause some portion of my anatomy to permanently get bigger?  If not, your post is not spam.  ;)

Obviously some mad wizard's monkey-demon summoning was interrupted.

One thing I was thinking about would be "plagues" that breakout and have a "containment zone" would be an interesting hook... having one character that is wizard working at the CDC or WHO

A wizard would have problems working directly for either of those outfits (he or she would be awfully hard on modern office and lab equipment).  I could see the Wardens having an informant there.  Pity the poor warden who has to go into the hot zone, simultaneously stopping the evil, dodging the authorities, and trying to keep said authorities safe and ignorant.

actually if they are a field agent (scientist) most of the equipment they work with would be pretty low tech most of the time...

This vortex is CLEARLY an optical illusion.  And, some swamp gas.  Now look over there for a second, if you don't mind...

See?  Everything's perfectly normal now...

Obviously a wizard battle.

I mean, seriously.  A volcano is one thing.  A volcano with LIGHTNING?  That's just excessive.

Those are so awesome. They look like some wizards with big clout throwing down.
