Perhaps it has changed since it was first done. -Jot It was levitated with witchcraft, but that was before the Orb was readily accessible, and before Morrolan has studied sorcery. Also, Arra said that they needed even more circles of witches than they had then, constantly chanting, to keep it up; so I assume for it to be stable in Vlad's day, there must be some sort of permanent-stasis spell operating. BTW, exactly what is a Lavode and how does one become one? I notice that Tazendra has become one in LoCB. talpianna
