That's a stereotype, encouraged because the typical image of a wizard is an old man who's gotten a couple of age category increases to his mental stats. Well, I don't know about anyone else, but whatever limited wisdom my dad might have showed in his older years, he's still a man who drunkenly swore a Blood Oath of Vengeance and then never bothered to follow up on it.

I hope the damn thing didn't transfer here with me. [Roy suddenly looks shocked at the possibility, then alarmed.]
