The bit of amorphia they have stolen will no doubt prove important later on. (Or maybe it won't. All depends on if it makes for a good story, I suppose.) I would hazard a guess, however, that the Jenoine will have difficulty using the amorphia they already have to make more, however. Else, why would it have been so important to Sethra (et al) in /Issola/ that they cut off the Jenoine's access to the LS as quickly as possible? To me, this says that at least TPTB (which includes Sethra, the LoJ, and the Necromancer) all think that cutting off their supply sooner will result in their having a diminished supply of the stuff. Does amorphia perhaps have a "critical mass" that is needed to reach a point where more can be generated from an existing source? Is amorphia perhaps being "enriched" by the Jenoine to make an "Amorphia Bomb"? Who can say? Majikjon
