	Chaos is a fickle mistress. When you're using chaos, it can [[slow]] or [[petrify]] your enemies, essentially killing them... or it can [[haste]] and [[frenzy]] them, turning them into much greater threats. While chaos is more likely to help you (the attacker), given enough time, you'll eventually end up 'misfiring'. In the early game, chaos is especially risky, since you'll be unlikely to handle the worst effects from it. However, even in the late game, hasting monsters is no joke.		Chaos is a fickle mistress.
