Leprechaun films: 1 (1992), 2 (1994), 3 (1995), 4 In Space (1996), 5 in the Hood (2000), 6 Back 2 Tha Hood (2003), Origins (2014), and Returns (2018)

A magical being is inadvertently summoned to wreak havoc until he can retrieve his gold, no matter how much slaughter it takes.

Most of the films in this franchise have a decent balance between the comedy and gore elements which contrast nicely while varying the style of entertainment. They aren’t all the same as the third one twists the narrative into a more interesting dynamic by making the protagonist more powerful. There’s also some inventive magical lore involved and developed at times.

Some of it is inconsistent to say the least. The fourth film in particular is so bizarre that it’s irrelevant and the leprechaun is played out as an alien in it, despite still being Irish and cliché. It’s not the only sequel to get a little too silly to take seriously as a horror, or even a comedy horror, but others compensate in the opposite way by becoming too blood reliant.

Warwick Davis is the main actor for most of the title role and he has an odd kind of charisma about him, as some of the other great horror monsters do, the ones that can talk at least. What is occasionally a surprise is that some of the jokes, gags, and even limericks are actually pretty good, though they’re peppered into the general one-liners.

Despite the niche comedy in some sequels, Origins is probably the weakest as it doesn’t chronicle the actual origins as the title suggests, it relies entirely on the horror genre, but the leprechaun doesn’t talk so it may as well be any monster. In each film the characters are very variable in their reactions or inventiveness, even the smarter ones can show a profound lack of insight or sense.

Leprechaun: 5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-

Leprechaun 2: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

Leprechaun 3: 5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average-

Leprechaun in Space: 3/10 -This one’s bad but there’s some good in it, just there-

Leprechaun in the Hood: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

Leprechaun Back 2 Tha Hood: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

Leprechaun Origins: 3/10 -This one’s bad but there’s some good in it, just there-

Leprechaun Returns: 4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

-The sorority house in Returns is named AU, the chemical symbol for gold, however the Greek symbol for u is Upsilon, the upper case of which is a capital y (Y).

-The clover patch in the original was planted on set and lit with green light. The four-leaf clover was so rare, a three-leaf one had to have an extra leaf glued on.

-In the third one Davis can briefly be seen without the horror make-up playing on one of the slot machines.

Happy St. Patrick day! Go follow a rainbow and find some gold! Or, if you're old enough, drink until that rainbow becomes a double rainbow. Just remember to wear green, or else.

You can probably tell I didn't use any reference for the pose. Even if it didn't come out perfect, I'm glad I tried something different. The background is a bit funky. It's my fault for not planning it out better.

Still, I'm mostly happy with how this turned out.

Esoteric Starseeker (Psychic Archetype)

 We’ve talked a bit about fantasy astrology on the blog here and there, but now it’s time to cover an archetype that actually mentions the constellations of the Varisian “zodiac” by name, the Esoteric Starseeker!

While diviners of many disciplines have used these constellations and other celestial bodies to make predictions for thousands of years, the symbology of each sign can be tapped into those with mastery of psychic magic, granting additional power each day as these psychics tap into different signs each day to suit their needs.

Though the powers of this technique are tied specifically to drawing power from the signs, I imagine that most also actually make a living off making such predictions and horoscopes, making a little side money while adventuring, or perhaps being diviners to royalty.

In any case, their power and flexibility cannot be denied, and many might manifest brief visions of the constellations they are currently invoking when using these powers.

 Those these psychics still follow a discipline, instead of drawing spells from it, they instead choose a constellation each night to focus on, which determines what spells they have access to each day. As they gain mastery, they can draw upon two constellations at once, picking and choosing which spells to take from each. However, as a tradeoff of tapping into different spells each day, they choose a school of magic each day to weaken their connection to, forcing them to take more time to cast such spells that day.

The constellations are as follows

The Thrush, which is seen as a herald and therefore associated with travel and the transmission of information. As such, it grants spells that facilitate communication, let them speak remotely through planted messages or dreams, create shelters from the elements, gain impressions of distant locations or locate things from afar, link minds with another, create doors where none exist, and bend reality.

The Lantern-Bearer, depicted as either a serpentine angel or lillend azata, is a guide and a protector. It’s spells free others from imprisonment, conjure all manner of glittering lights to dazzle and harm foes, magically guide the user back to a location, see past all deception, take on a form of vibrations, and even call down meteors to destroy foes.

The Newlyweds, depicting a pair of intertwined scarves or a couple eager to slip away for privacy, representing devotion and new beginnings. It grants spells to charm, enthrall, overwhelm with raw emotion, as well as break enchantments, reincarnate the slain in new forms, and even appear in two different places at once.

The Bridge represents transition to new destinations. It grants the psychic magic of protection, ranging from resisting environmental extremes and the elements, creating light in dark places, creating personal shields against heat and cold, walls of force, projecting fiery magic that spreads from foe to foe, inverting gravity, creating extradimensional refuges, and animating the terrain to carry them far.

The Daughter is a light-hearted dancer and first to cross the bridge, representing the coming of spring and warmth. It brings with it spells of positive emotion, bolstering allies with vigor, overcoming foes with fascinating light, sleep, or uncontrolled dancing, freeing allies from mundane or supernatural bonds, and even forcing foes to swap places with you as if they were swept up in a dance.

The Rider watches over the caravan and is either a savage warrior or a boisterous reveler. It grants many methods to sense incoming danger, ward the caster with layers of force or swirling blades, catch foes with a mighty hand of force, intimidate foes with raw malice, and even transform into living lightning.

The Patriarch guides the caravan through danger. The spells it grants include those that force a surge of authority on foes, conjure weapons of force to attack foes, dispel harmful magic, send warriors rocketing forward into the fight, ask for guidance from beyond or the path forward, guide other directly, or even open portals to other planes, securing a path forward or calling forth a mighty ally.

The Wagon carries the other signs forward, without it the metaphor of the cosmic caravan would not be able to progress. It grants magic of transportation and speed, ranging from acceleration to distorting space, to teleportation, as well as becoming fluid like, or even stopping time for a brief moment.

The Pack is a group of beasts, and may be loyal hounds or predators depending on the interpretation. Either way, they grant spells of altering animal behavior, various forms of animal shapeshifting, bolstering might, and ways to conjure bestial allies.

The Mother offers comfort and sustenance as winter approaches. It grants spells of aid, as well as those that recognize the true nature of things, ward against physical or mystical harm, prepare magic ahead of time, teleport someone to a safe location, or provide a barrier that suppresses magic.

The Stargazer is sometimes a fool, sometimes a prophet, and always searches for new wonders. This constellation grants a multitude of divination spells, as well as magic to suppress the mind or force compliance, and even the ability to travel through dreams.

The Stranger represents an unknown figure, someone who crosses path with the caravan for good or ill. It provides multiple ways to hide oneself, to see from afar, trap foes in extradimensional traps, and divide one’s attention.

Finally, the Follower, the constellation with the dimmest stars, represents death, the constant companion on the journey through life. It grants spells of quiet, darkness, fear, and life draining, as well as transport through shadows and the creation of illusory duplicates.

With all of this power, it’s no wonder that these psychics learn major amplifications later than others.

The various constellations of the Cosmic Caravan offer a quite versatile version of the psychic, with essentially 12 different sets of bonus spells to choose from each day, though obviously they can only pick and choose so much with their limitations. If you’re looking for a flavorful way to make your psychic character more versatile, this archetype may be for you. Just remember that you lose out on a few phrenic amplifications, so take that into account with your build.

 The constellations that form the Cosmic Caravan are all very iconic options (Though technically not an actual zodiac, as there’s like what, one animal on the whole thing? Zodiac literally means “wheel of animals”) But what if you’re playing in a completely different setting with different constellations? In that case, you may have to homebrew or reflavor them appropriately.

  When she was a child, most wrote off Ilgia the ganzi as a lost cause, her mind unable to focus on any of the lessons they tried to teach her. However, this changed when she looked to the stars, which she became fascinated by, learning how to achieve focus with the constellations in her heart and mind.

 Though normally disinterested in the stars, the leprechauns of Blue Eye Marches are famed for a mystical brew made in part by infusing the liquor with starlight and moonlight. Eager to explore the legend, a psychic by the name of Talvatz wishes to partake of the magical drink, certain it will work well with his combined discipline of stargazing and mind-warping substances.

 In the nation of Kelbeross, the king Kelbus is feared for his erratic moods, having not one dark half due to the nature of his psychic power, but 12, one for each constellation he draws from. Each one seems to have it’s own agenda, and in those rare times when he is fully himself, he struggles to accommodate them. In truth he only wishes to be understood.
