The fact that, whenever a spell is cast, you need to shout its name only provides a +5 bonus.

I like the style. Like CO's wooden signs - clearly making his spells as obvious as he can. and a +20 bonus every time - do you think he will learn from this - it seems obvious enough to me!!

If the comic had more Summer Glau, David Tennant, and other awesome actors, it would implode and all characters would turn into proper stick figures. (Basically xkcd would happen)

Jane: Captain Obvious apparently can't cast any spells that aren't entirely obvious. We should be able to escape pretty easily. I saw a window just down here-
Captain Obvious: HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

Captain Obvious: As you can tell from the lantern hovering above my head which has a goatee which is evil and yellow, I have figured out how to defeat you! I have a cape which is red and says CO on it!
Jane: Good for you. Taking 10 on Listen checks seems to work!

Captain Obvious: I am holding a wooden sign. It is made of wood. There is writing on the sign.
Sign reads: Destruction is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical.

Captain Obvious: Destruction is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical!
Same sign visible.
Jane: Counterspell.

Captain Obvious: Disintegrate is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical!
Sign reads: Disintegrate is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical.
Jane: Counterspell.

Captain Obvious: Enervation is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical!
Sign reads: Enervation is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical.
Jane: Counterspell.

Captain Obvious: Meteor Swarm is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical!
Sign reads: Meteor Swarm is the magic spell I am casting, which is a magic spell and is magical.
Jane: Counterspell.

Captain Obvious: How can you tell so consistently which spell I'm casting? Surely you'll roll a natural 1 on Spellcraft eventually!
Jane: Holding up the spell's name on a big sign provides a +20 bonus, believe it or not.
