And, of course, now I'm thinking what if the monogamy/marriage-contract part of it doesn't actually matter,

that the Fireball/Napalm Spell is really just an STD,

and the key to defeating the Beast is assembling the squad of Colwyn's and/or Lyssa's prior lovers,

and/or transitively back to wherever this power originates

or transitively forward if we have some number of inopportune deaths and [mid-battle] need to fuck out some more Fireball/Napalm Mages to get the job done...

That movie (which I'm guessing will never, ever get made) could conceivably not actually suck if it were done right

(although we're now solidly in HOW THE HELL DOES THIS PLANET/SOCIETY ACTUALLY WORK? territory).

Hm...for the place to have Not Already Burned Down Long Ago, there'd have to be *some* genetic factor limiting it.

And once you have enough history with instances of the Wrong Couple getting together, there'd be this damn huge incentive to keep track of who has Gene A, who has Gene B -- probably want both A and B to be recessive so that the % of the population where this is a Problem stays small --

and then Really Strict Rules re A+B pairings.

.... At the very least, if you want Forbidden Love stories with randy teenagers on the run blowing shit up, this is a way to get there....

((....why am I still awake?...))
