No need. I feel the truthiness of my statement.
I decided... what the heck. Let's create this poll.  Just remember when you're voting... However you might actually feel, he's still a mod, so perhaps a modicum of moderation is in order when considering your vote. (Gratuitous punnery fully intended.)

Playing in the Realms since the Old Grey Box (1987)... and *still* having fun with material published before 2008, despite the NDA'd lore.
If it's comparable in power with non-magical abilities, it's not magic. |

| I'm not even bothering to put personal bias partly aside. I voted the last option. I've been here the longest, after all. That should count for something more than just mere Wooly-inspired trickery. |

It does count for something. You have a higher post count, which I will likely never catch up with. That's about all it counts for, though! |

For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird

I suspected as much... and that's why I decided to follow through. And I'm glad I did, because the conversation has been rather amusing... to say nothing of the poll results, although those are more surprising than anything; I didn't think anyone would have eyes so bad as to mistake a giant space hamster for a reindeer. 
Edit: and yes, I miss the giant space hamsters from 2E Spelljammer.  I tended to make them landbound and legless, though... kinda like two-ton Tribbles... |

Give our fellow scribes some time. Eventually they'll all come to realise what we already know deep within ourselves... that a Master of Mischief can never compare to the Loremaster Most High!

"These things also I have observed: that knowledge of our world is
to be nurtured like a precious flower, for it is the most precious
thing we have. Wherefore guard the word written and heed
words unwritten and set them down ere they fade . . . Learn
then, well, the arts of reading, writing, and listening true, and they
will lead you to the greatest art of all: understanding."

There is no doubt at all... I am quite confident in your inability to smack anyone down. All we have to do is ask you to put it on the to-do list! |

**Little does Markus realise that the Sage is secretly plotting away on a nefarious scheme to strike down Alaundo the Seer once Candlekeep 4 is born.
History will call this prophetic event the Scrollplague. Loremasters in years to come will reflect on the devastating period of chaotic knowledge when all scrolls throughout the halls of Candlekeep burst their bonds, and areas of wild chatter began raging across the virtual landscape. Some shelves would be affected, while the Scrollplague itself left others untouched. Select scrolls would be mutated by the event, transformed into hideous collections of idle and innane off-topicness that bore little to no resemblance of their former selves. And, perhaps most tragic of all, certain areas of the library would be transposed with portions of the Wizards forum, bringing strange and unusual posters into the hallowed halls of knowledge, and with them, topics and discussions of Realmslore that would otherwise be considered alien to the scribes of Candlekeep.**

| I went for the "Master of Mischief" option. I would have gone for the "utterly cool Space Hamster" one if it weren't for the fact that our dear Woolpert has told us all how much he like the deity Lurue so many times, and in so similar worded terms, that if he does it again I may have to scream! |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
