Witch (pun intended) brings me to my latest speculative theory, which I will preface with a small math lesson: 1 point defines a point 2 points defines a line 3 points defines a plane 4 points can define a space Given this, and that we have precisely one point of reference for the creation of Great Weapons, I'm going to ignore the math lesson. :) My theory is that Blackwand will be created with the 'essence' of Arra, like Godslayer was created with the essence of Teldra. I think this because: 1) It's the only information we have on the subject 2) We know Arra isn't the head of Morollan's circle of witches any more. (It's Surril, according to Teldra in Issola). 3) It makes sense, because we know Blackwand acts as Morollan's familiar. (Jhereg, I believe) 4) We know Blackwand is female (Issola) The cool thing is I expect to find out one way or another in about 9 months. :) -Jot -- Jot Powers <books at bofh.com> http://www.bofh.com/books/ "I'm upping my standards, so up yours!" -Pat Paulsen (1927-1997), Presidential Campaign Slogan
