: The deceiver probably cast a spell on himself to heal
: himself when the staff was returned and the proper
: words were spoken, so it was the spell itself (which
: had presumably been cast years before, when he was
: trapped shortly after the end of the great war) that
: did the healing. A peasant could have said the words
: (if he knew them), and have the same effect. As for
: why the spell had to be activated, instead of
: activating itself.. that's a whole 'nother thread.
Perhaps. But that still doesn't explain Shiver.
And also if you say that Beserks can't have magic powers then that means that there are no ex-Zerk Herons. Because Herons cleary have some degree of Magic.
