Enervate!

[Dark Immortal]

Some time ago I read somewhere (pretty sure it was a link from here) a rather amusing story of some wizard or lich or something who really just did one thing- spam enervate (or was it energy drain). The only thing about the story that I really recall was that the caster was holding a conversation, probably with the reader, and while doing so is fighting off adventurers and shouting 'Enervate!' As he does so. My friend wants a blaster sorceror but I want to get him to join the enervate club. Help me find this tale on the interwebs so I can show him why the spell is so awesome (through the eyes of the single-minded enervation caster).

Thanks! ^-^

Order of the Stick. Xykon the Lich

Is there a more specific direction you can guide me? I cannot seem to find this speech of his which was so amusing and cool. However, I can find plenty of random information about him.

I believe the scene is from the prequel book to Order of the Stick, Start of Darkness.

Not sure if Start of Darkness is anywhere online, but it is a great scene both for simple solutions to complex problems (a Wizard with prep time and a fortress and tons of money who doesn't want or need to leave, ever) and for showing a Sorcerer 'outsmart' a Wizard.

Xykon is hilarious, and a horrible, horrible person.
