After messing around with some pyromancy, specifically Chaos Storm, I headed back to Majula to level up once more. Having gotten into the habit of pressing right-click > back when in menus for a short time, I accidentally hit right click again, launching a Chaos Storm, point blank on the ground in front of the Emerald Herald.
I watched in fear as flames engulfed Miss. Green, I have never been so terrified for a virtual characters life... At least it wasn't because I cared for them, it was because they were highly useful for my own progression.
