fancy-ass pants. Sounds like chaps but with extra steps

He's the one who-- he made all these games? Riddles with no answer and games where the rules keeps changing, so you can't ever win. And there's always, always another puzzle to solve or another game to win, because if you win-- well, everything will be fine. It's all going to be perfect. Like-- like the Sphinx. The myth about the Sphinx, you answer the riddle and you get to go to the finish line.

Except, he changed the rules. With magic. And just-- kept people, until they went insane. Now the Scarlatti Web? That's a... very complex spell and it needs to be fueled continuously? By the caster. But, it traps you. Inside your own mind. For forever. It-- it breaks you. That's what it does. That's what both of those do.

[Personal experience? They both suck.]
