Whoa! That was freaky. I just read 'wise man' quoted in neo's post and heard 'wise man' in the lyrics in How You Remind Me at the same moment.
Anyway, lol, I never liked Wise Man. He didn't have an animal to pet incessantly, but he sure treated his crystal ball that way.:P
I'd probably give him a...7ish. It was great for a vilain's character to innovatively turn Rini into the Black Lady, but other than that he just sat on his floating butt and barked orders. Plus he didn't last that long when he finally did fight.

P.S. I somewhat recant my statement. It's not *that* innovative to turn a good character bad. lol
