The Skeleton Man

You can't speak until spoken to. You're struck dumb. I know you will find a way to interject, but for the time being, the challenge presented to you is that you cannot speak unless spoken to. When I endeavored to successfully complete the spell of... Lit- lit-it-ification, what caused it to fail? It made me this terrible skeleton man and not the powerful lit-it lord I should have been. Nothing in your method was wrong. There was a problem with you. The magic was perfect, but the vessel was flawed. That's almost worse. However, this is not permanent. Oh, man! Pretty good, right? Yeah.
