I have a particular relationship with winter. I happen to love the season, but it is doing its best to dissuade me of this affection. Case in point: for the longest time I was able to survive the snow and cold without suffering more than the occasional discomfort of soaked gloves. However, the last couple years, I’ve been getting progressively worse instances of dry skin on the backs of my hands. My sister has graciously provided me plenty of lotion with which I can remedy, if not prevent, this situation. Of course, every time I really need to apply lotion, I’m doing something where having the substance on my hands would be extremely inconvenient, or more likely damaging to the project– like, for example, painting miniatures.

So, in keeping with this weekend’s nerdity, I have the Burning Hands spell… it’s just, well, not quite the one in the Player’s Handbook.
