But, with what we know now of his, um, background, do you think it was all witchcraft, or did he unknowingly use his innate power over amorphea to assist? Jeff PS: Ohhhhhh, I had a revelation while proofreading. Kiera (Sethra) said it was dangerous for her to hold onto the vial of Verra's blood. If I recall correctly, this was also the same time she fought the Jenoine at Dzur Mt. Was that why she gave it to Vlad, to remove it from Drageara while the Jenoine were present, to prevent them from acquiring it to use against Verra? I haven't read that book in a while, so my recollection of the timeline is a bit spotty.
