It had been a nice life, Scott Heliy thought to himself. The good doctor had made a new life for himself on Khazan since leaving Thylik for Khazan. He made it all the way to the Main Event in the Fantasy Powers League, got a little recognition, and just enough funding to start working on a new laboratory. (Not to mention there was that cute Nurse Helia working in the hospital just down the street...) It was almost finished too, except now he'd never see it completed. He had no idea why he'd had the bad luck to run into this green glowing ball, ominously known as the Ball of DEATH in some circles, but it'd managed to corner him in one of the dead-end alleyways of Science Sector, Khazan. And now, it would move in for the kill...when suddenly, it sputtered, lurched, and collapsed to the ground with an unsatisfying *Sploch*. The eerie glow ceased, and it became just a pile of green goo. Dr. Heliy held back a minute, before checking to see that it had indeed...died? He scooped up the goo and carried it back to his near-finished lab. Grabbing a microscope, he examined the remains, and noticed a small object inside: "LotMU brand nickel-bleach batteries. Guaranteed to last forever or half your crÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂème eggs back!" Dr. Heliy removed the dead batteries and started to put in fresh ones, when he realized that that would be a really stupid idea and make for a Darwin-Award-style-death. So instead he ran a few more tests on it and tried a few experiments with it, before finally realizing that without any power it was pretty much about the same as that stuff you can't get off your shower walls, only collected into a big blob. Several chemicals, nuclear beams, and a large Play-doh shaping machine later, he had reformed the Ball of DEATH into its former glory, only now it was kinda blueish, more resembled a dodecahedron than an actual sphere, and didn't move too much. Oh well, at least it glowed a cool blue color! Heliy put it on the front desk as a neat little ornament to show off to visitors. Unfortunately, when he came in the next day, he found the remains of two burglars and his new hired secretary on the floor. After figuring out that it was his desk ornament that was the cause of this, and that it wasn't going to kill HIM too (which was a great relief to Dr. Heliy), he carried it to the Fantasy Powers League with the hopes of earning him some more cash, especially now that he doesn't have to hire any more night security...

Aura of DEATH
 Disintegration: Ultimate
The Dodecahedron of DEATH still has the same destructive Aura of DEATH that it had when it was a Ball of DEATH, only now instead of flying around killing things, it sits there like an unassuming desk ornament (... of DEATH), waiting for the unsuspecting person to pass by... upon which it slowly (going from a smooth sphere to a 12-sided object put a damper on its mobility) approaches its prey with the destructive power... of DEATH!!!!
Shiny Glowy Thing of DEATH
 Mind Control: Supreme
I mean, really. It glows, it's blue, and it has all these little points and sides all over it! Who could POSSIBLY resist picking this thing up and seeing if it's one of those weird multi-faceted Rubik's Cubes, or maybe little things of electricity will shoot out from the center and touch the inside surface wherever you put your finger on it like those globe generators! It's got to do SOMETHING cool, and it takes a powerful mentalist not to be swayed by the power of Shiny Glowy Things That You Must Pick Up And Play With.
Shakespearean Recital of DEATH
 Induced Sleep: Supreme
Heliy likes Shakespeare. You'd think a scientist would spend his free time working on nuclear atom theories or multi-dimensional time-travelling, but no, when Scott Heliy has a night to relax, he's out to see Hamlet, Othello, or best of all, Ryoko and Elwin are DeaÃÂÃÂÃÂÃÂ(*BOP* Gravy no Baka!) Err, anyway... the Dodecahedron of DEATH, while slowly approaching some prey in the front lobby one day, suddenly heard Heliy playing an audio recording of MacBeth over the PA System. Seeing that it did a good job of causing most humans to fall asleep, it used up most of its nuclear-blasted intelligence to memorize and repeat the collected works of Shakespeare to make for more easily caught prey. Hey, not only is it shiny, glowy, and pointy, it TALKS! How cool is THAT!
English Track Mind of DEATH
 Closed Mind: Standard
Since the first words that Dodecahedron of DEATH learned came from Shakespeare recordings, it now only thinks in Olde English speaking. This makes it a little more difficult than usual for mentalists to try and meddle with its mind, seeing as how common words like "the" and "you" and "Internet" didn't exist in the 1600s. Before they can really attack the Mind of DEATH, they'll have to figure out what "thine" is...
Beam of DEATH
 Tractor Beam: Standard
During his experiments, Heliy tried to figure out a way to stretch out the pile of goo into something useful. In a world like Khazan though, you just can't go blasting something with several different nuclear beams without expecting there to be some crazy and twisted side effect. In Dodecahedron of DEATH's case, it was that it absorbed those beams, and when it gets the chance, it uses them to drag a sleeping opponent towards its Aura of DEATH. Strong opponents won't be moved by the beam, but at least it can try to steal their loose valuables in an attempt to lure them closer...
Invisibility of DEATH
 Invisibility: Standard
One night, a theiving mentalist almost made it past Dodecahedron of DEATH's nightly security patrol by using his mighty brains to try to resist its powers. Heliy found out about this the next day, and decided to try pouring one of his invisibility potions on it. Sure enough, it grew five legs, a mouth full of fangs, and spikes growing out of its head... wait, wrong Heliy experiment, sorry. Sure enough, it gained the ability to become invisible! Now it could sneak up on its victims as well! And cause... (what the heck, might as well go for the record for overusing the word...) DEATH!
Table Manners of DEATH
 Gravity: Supreme
It was a tragic accident that could have happened to any family... Dr. Heliy and Dodecahedron of DEATH were sitting at the dinner table, Heliy enjoying his regular meal, while Dodecahedron was disintegrating some Burglar al Flambe... Heliy looked across and noticed that Dodecahedron seemed to be taking particularly large "bites" at a time out of its meal. "You know, Dodeca, you really should learn to chew your food before swallowing, otherwise you might--" Just then, it started making weird noises... a bit of an arm dropped to the floor as Dodecahedron began lurching around violently... fortunately, thanks to Heliy's quick actions, Dodecahedron was saved from what could have been a lethal choking incident. To prevent future mishaps, Heliy developed a new potion capable of affecting gravity fields. Administering its contents to the little geometric killing machine; it still can't hold a tea cup properly, but at least it can now properly crunch matter down to an appropriate size before devouring. Heliy's just relived that he'll never have to try the Heimlich Maneuver on it again...
