I'm probably wrong, and I'm sure Steve will let me know if I am, but in re-reading Dragon I just came across a rather interesting passage that I had forgotten about.... SPOILER SPACE "His left hand was clenched into a fist, turned up, and held stiffly out in front of him at about chin height, the elbow bent. His right hand and arm were moving, going through various gyrations while the fingers extended, contracted, wiggled, twitched and generally appeared to have a life of their own. Morrolan's eyes were narrowed to slits, and he was breathing loudly through opened lips, creating a very slight whistling sound through his clenched teeth." "The thought, Earth, water, fire and air came into my mind as I compared left hand, right hand, eyes and mouth; but I strongly suspect it wasn't anything that simple. I've seen sorcery, and I've seen witchcraft, and this didn't look like either one. I wasn't certain I wanted to know what it was." Is this perhaps a reference to wizardry at work? Stacy
