Okay. Okay. So, there's a large, sweaty man with an axe trying to break down your door. Relax, Red Mage. You've been in this situation before all too many times. Defeat the beast with your brilliance! Mind over matter! Knowledge is power!

Let's review. You built something, but you don't know what it is, because you never wrote down what it was when you still had enough points left in Engineering to know. Clearly, however, it must be a doomsday weapon of unstoppable power, liable to destroy the giant scary man chopping down your door and probably the rest of the island along with it, including yourself. Refraining from using it would only lead to your death, while using its awesome and terrible power would mean the deaths of you and everyone you know.

Pressing that button would be an exercise in determining the limits of absolute stupidity.

Ding!

A toaster? Right, yes, now I remember. I built a toaster to save myself from the rampaging man with the axe. What's depressing is that I actually thought this would work at one point.

There's nothing to fear. You're a red mage! The universe itself is subject to your every whim! As if it wasn't enough that you wield the powers of benevolent creation and terrible destruction combined, you were blessed with the limitless intellect of a fractactical genius! There is no conceivable problem in the entirety of the human imagination that your brilliance cannot surmount! The myriad solutions to this quandry prostrate themselves before you, and securing a path to safety is as simple as reaching out and grabbing one!

And you didn't need the use of your legs anyway!
