What kind of oaths and exclamations might Margo the Magician use for emphasis? Her name is Margo Webster, her father's stage name was 'The Great Presto', we never saw her mother, and she, Presto, and her kid brother Jimmy were in Southeast Asia, likely in China, in their only appearance. Presto has performed in front of the 'crowned heads of Europe' and his trunks have stickers on them suggesting the family has visited Paris, London, and Madrid. Presto himself calls on "Oh Rulers of Darkness..."
Webster family name is probably of English derivation. She might say something like "By the Stones of the Great Henges!" or "Great Merlin's Ghost!", "Thunor's Thunder!", "Flames of Brigid!" "By the Silver Wheel of Arianrhod!", or other oaths along those lines.
Or, if something strikes her fancy, she might say something totally different!!!! What do you guys think? Thanks for any suggestions...
If I like something you suggest, I can name a character in the story that she appears in anything you want... probably not a superhero, but maybe someone who works at the HQ of the Equity Concord of America, or a Freshport cop, or a bad guy...
Her magic, in my story, is all illusion-based, and she has mental abilities such as telepathy.

Seventh Sanctum actually has a generator for these! Check this out: www.seventhsanctum.com/generate.php?Genname=magicinvokeBut I'm still interested in hearing what you guys have to suggest... I'd rather use a human generated oath than a computer generated oath, computer seems to defeat the purpose... |

Are you writing an Earth-X story?

No, a parallel Earth for the Infinite Earths board. It's the Earth where Sturdiman comes from...

By the light-brown strands of Derrick's man-bun. I dunno. It loses something when you say it out loud.

Oh, okay. Just so you know, Margo the Magician is also an Earth-X character who’s appeared in a few stories, all by CSyphrett.

I know that about Margo, I have read all her appearances here. I'm basing my version solely on her one appearance in 1941. It is difficult to be sure exactly what her power set was back then, although her father claimed his magic was all based on hypnotism. So my Margo will have mental powers and illusion powers. And she may have a long-lost brother names Marvo with similar powers...
