I suspect we needed this book *before* Issola. Some aspects of Issola seem to pander to that in us that would have us running godlike characters in D&D. Except we already know that Steve is not ready to go there. He can't use Godslayer to solve his marital problems, for instance. But he can use it to stop being on the lam all the time. And he can use it to be part of the establishment that causes some of the conflict with his wife - but in a different way now. His existing conflicts won't be solved by this power - and I'm pretty sure the conflicts that are coming up won't be solved by it either. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/
