          Mordecai son of Yair of the tribe of Benjamin.

Endings - Summae level 9, quality 2, on Perdo. The cover is rather scorched,

be.

2) Talon of the Winds does not affect the caster.
3) Talon of the winds does, however, affect any book which the caster
might
be reading from, conveniently placed on a nareby lectern.
4) Profundis ex Guernicus is a bit of an idiot at times.
5) What's left can be found in a small envelope, glued to the inside back
cover.
