: Hi Welly. :)
: First, there *are* contradictions in TBC. Lots actually.
: So if you run into what seems like one, you may very
: well be right. There are lots of instances though,
: where Cook wants us to think one thing but then
: reveals The Truth later.
: In order for a wizard to be taken, the taker must know
: the true name of the wizard. When the taker loses his
: or her powers, the bonds between the taker and taken
: are broken, but in order for the takens' powers to be
: destroyed, their true names must be spoken in their
: presence.
: We know, of course, that Lady de-takenized (hehe) some
: but not others, Soulcatcher, most notably. We also
: know wizards who lose their powers can regain them, as
: Lady did in the vicinity of the Plain of Glittering
: Stone.
: I'd have to reread the White Rose to be certain, but I
: think the carpets were falling out of the air during
: the first attack strictly because to Darling's null.
: Lady was "disarmed" because she was using
: her magic to create exploding missiles that taken
: could shoot through the null. When she entered the
: null, whatever ammo taken had -- which they were
: running out of -- was all they were gonna get.
: Yeah, they died. Good thing, too. Freaky floating twin
: sisters weird me out.
I thought exile lived...
