I'll let Wag answer that one: "Of course it could have been sorcery, idiot. But sorcery /does/ something, and whatever it did would leave traces." Keep in mind, that Reins *waas* murdered using sorcery (well, that's Vlad's theory, anyway, and seems to be supported by the facts), or rather, by necromancy, and Wag is never capable of making that diagnosis. I do not doubt that Wag likely has some limited sorcerous abilities (as you say, he can read, and does have books on the subject, so it seems likely) but he's probably not even as skilled as Paresh was. He seems to use the chanting/herbs remedy, primarily, when healing patients. Majikjon
