Most Super Wizard disciplines have been developed in-house and handed down for generations, but The Eighties is a bit of an exception. They were discovered when we intercepted signals of a lost time from a lost world, and have been adapted into one of the most potent (and awesome) Super Wizard disciplines at our disposal. A master of The Eighties can decimate their opponents with the power of rainbows, star wipes, and hair metal. They can also utilize the mysterious time compressing montage ability. Masters of The Eighties were also masters of the impossible, and constantly seeking to better their already impressive skills. One of the Super Wizards* from the lost world, a Stan Bush, was quoted as "I wanna run where the eagles fly." Astonishing, and an inspiration to all.
*or the lost world's equivalent to Super Wizards.
In part one regarding this discipline, we'll be taking a look at one of the basic techniques of The Eighties. Like all good things, The Eighties must be handled in small doses (or risk catastrophic consequence).
The Montage: One of the more mysterious abilities of the Eighties is that of the Montage. When channeling the power of the Eighties (in conjunction to rockin tunes of an adequate cheese factor), this ability allows the user to compress chunks of time while pursuing some sort of goal, and skip the boring or unpleasant parts. This ability is not without risks, however, as you can end up in places that you don't expect while compressing time*. Misuse (or sometimes just standard use) can cause the appearing of Eighties Spawn, and we're trying to avoid that as much as possible. Some of the make good Super Wizard candidates, but most of them don't and it's getting harder to figure out what to do with them.
*Presumably, this is how Throat-Punch Ballet found himself trapped in the basement*, despite nobody knowing where the basement actually is.
**The process of removing Throat-Punch Ballet from the basement is on-going. The Tower Accountant has made the decision to mark him down as a casualty, but promises to consider reversing this if he is successfully salvaged.
