Despite the cruel irony of Edwin's fate he got of lucky. Had he tried the same with Blackstaff, Mordenkainen, the Seven Sisters, Dalamar, Manshoon, Baba Yaga, Iggwilv(Tasha) or any of the other OP Archmagi in the D&d setting death would be a mercy. It's also these people who inspire me to play as a Wizard.
