====== Melficef the Red ======
Melficef was a powerful mage that conducted thaumical studies \\
to try to store magical energies in an efficient way. \\
He created many self-recharging rod spells that are still commonly used today, \\
as well as the thaumic bomb, a device storing a massive amount of mana \\
and releasing it in a violent explosion \\
- such an explosion actually killed the unfortunate Melficef himself.
