In City of Heroes, there's this villain group called the Circle of Thorns. In certain level ranges, you run up against these Earth Thorn Casters that like to transform the ground beneath you into quicksand. In gameplay terms, that means your movement is slowed to a crawl, and you can't jump or fly out of it if you get caught by it.

In a few moments, however, that Earth Thorn Caster is about to learn that he's still just as flamable as ever.

As an aside note, the next time I decide it sounds like a good idea to draw one of the newly revamped CoT mages, I am instead going to hit my head against the wall several times. I hadn't realized just how detailed these buggers were until I went to draw one of them.
