O ho, good point! We know from discussion in Sethra Lavode that a
teleport block is a form of "field," which lets a sorcerer pump in
more energy than he could handle raw; we also know that some things
(like Serioli amulets) can disrupt fields. We knew all along that some
individuals like Daymar could "blast through" teleport blocks, but we
have additional reason now to think Godslayer[1] could bring down the
field itself.

[1] I don't consider this aspect to be particularly "Lady Teldra"-ish,
which is silly since Vlad says he, she, the dagger, and Spellbreaker
are no longer entirely separate entities[2]. But if I were going to
differentiate I'd say "Vlad" here and not "Lady Teldra." Note the way
Vlad "fixes the trivial damage to [his own] arm" using his weapon's
powers.

[2] Does that "Godslayer" a proper title for the wielder as well as
the weapon? Can Aliera legitimately be called "Pathfinder"?
