If he doesn't know this trick, then it doesn't matter how easy it is. He won't say those words unless he starts a habit of blurting out random strings of text hoping for something interesting to happen.
"OL? Why is your ring making that...squealing noise?"

"Oh, I'm just having it say every possible combination of words to see what will happen."

"And has anything...happened?"

"Three Demon summonings, two Gods, one of the Endless, and some kind of Eldritch Horror that asked me if it could crash at Johnny Sorrow's place until it could catch a ride home."
 
Ah, good to see the back of the Star Conquerors... figuratively speaking, of course.
The back is where the telekinetic beak is.

Yes.
Definitely might be an inconsistency there.

Surely not if he wanted to hear it.
He tries not to eavesdrop on every little thing.
That reminds me, I don't recall him ever offering to augment Zatanna? She could become an un-squishy wizard, or even more dangerous, effectively have Time Stop at will without the prohibition on direct attacks.
He doesn't know how they interact with her magic abilities, and that makes it far harder to test.
Thank you, corrected.
Uh oh, the pointy stick launcher has got inside his head...
Friend Bow is wise and benevolent and not at all murderous. There are no communists, mutants, traitors, or secret societies. Technology is more advanced than it has ever been in the history of civilization, and research and development does not routinely involve handing out prototype arrows which will of course never let loose a thaumatic explosion if dropped. There is nothing of note outside of Star City, and all its citizens are completely happy to live inside it and never leave. Happiness is mandatory. Unhappiness is treason. Treason is punishable by death.

"Probably" vs "certainly".

So it's harder to skim profits?

OK, I can understand not giving her a Spell Eater, but really? Interference from Danner? I guess it's not impossible, on the basis that they're both forms of magic, but it seems a stretch.

All true, of course, but I really think he should have said "rounds", not arrows.

The expression is, "If you think X, you've got another think coming."
 
"Probably" vs "certainly".
It is a slightly odd way of expressing the idea, but it isn't a mistake.
So it's harder to skim profits?
I realise that might be a scum pun, but in case it isn't, no. The police are now mostly honest and competent.

Would you risk her life on it?

Ah! Right. Thank you, corrected.
The expression is, "If you think X, you've got another think coming."
Since when?
 
Yeah, probably. That was intended as a joke, but I'm about 7/8ths asleep right now so it kinda flopped.
Well, the sheer anticlimaticness of it all could probably be funny from a third point of view, if done right...

"Death of the Endless, come to me!"

Death show up.

"Hello! Can I help you?"

*Evil wizard cast spell*

"Aha! I am your master, now! Bow before me!"

*Death stare*

*Walks through the summoning circle*

*Raise eyebrow*

"Hum... Mercy?"

*Smile* "No."

"Mommy!"

Happened in Vertigo.

Creepy death obsessed necromancer who collected the souls of his victims as a power up was after Tim Hunter.

Summoned Death, who gave him the "I'm just not that interested in you" speech.

And if memory serves, Tim curses out Death for her tendency to take his loved ones. "Bleep you, you bleepity bleep bleep!"

I... don't think that you are talking about the right event, here.
Tim Hunter was almost killed by Mister E, and Death and Destiny saved him.
But I don't remember anything about a Necromancer, nor was Death SUMMONED- she was already there, to end the universe- and I do not believe that he cursed Death like that either...
 
Awfully polite of the witches to have their grundyman knock first before having him/it kill Paul and friends!

A matter of formalities perhaps?
Well, the only logical reasonning is if the beings involved can't enter a house without permission first.
The whole "boundaries" thing, in short.
But I don't think this is the case here...

Beside, if the leader IS human, then one of Einstein's saying apply:
"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

Let's be honest, those words will probably remains true as long as humans exist...

Arawn Kruder, introduced in Hunter - The Age of Magic, the guy considered himself to be the greatest necromancer in the world.

...well, he's certainly one of the wickedest.

According to three deceased practitioners, he's been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of people. From powerful mages and occultists, to innocent women and children.

What's more, this psycho S.O.B. practices an ancient shamanic technique, similar to what the blood-mage Mako uses, eating a piece of the brain or the heart itself so that he consume the souls of his victims to give himself a power-boost.

And considering how many practitioners may have died by his hand personally, that means he's got the spiritual strength of small city to draw on.:o

... A human version of Thanos.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Well then.

Speaking of, did you know that Death of the Endless is canon!Marvel? She appeared at least once that I know of. And made an off-hand remark about Thanos, actually...
 
No, I'd start by cloning her blood and testing that, as he did for himself and Wallace.
The issue is that they don't know how it would interact with her magic/soul, and they can't clone that or test it on animals. She's not biologically different than other humans, she has a different soul structure.

Maybe it was trying to break down the door?

Yes, showed up at Rick Jones's wedding to give a hair brush to Marla.

Unless you are mentioning a different incident?

It's not like Marvel and DC don't like their little little in joke crossovers.

The jla and avengers went to the same halloween parade, Aquaman and Namor had a non meeting, Lois and Clark showed up in Excalibur whenever they hit the Big Apple, etc.

Which suggests somewhere there is a world with two separate Atlantises. Both of whom are ruled by half human superheroes. That's a whose on first like gag waiting to happen.
