Applied Mathemagics
While I am at Dragon*Con, I will be guest-starring as a character (an NPC) in Ben Williamson's D&D game.
I am pretty sure that I won't have any trouble at all role-playing this character... considering that it was based on me in the first place!
Now I can go all meta- on their asses! Anyway, I will try to interpret myself correctly. This character is what one might call an "applied mathemagician" (to quote Ben) who specializes in evocation spells. Sure, I can blow things up. :)
