Mostly correct: it also highlighted the Hrestoli Idealist oddity that a Loskalmi "Wizard" could be a new apprentice with minimal magical talent = (but
handy with weapons!) -- inept, not adept! -- and that there must, = logically,
be a sizeable body of qualified Wizards who *don't* immediately become Lords.=20

Plus, doing this made the Lord class entry requirements far more = succinct
and readable: "leave aside the standard Adept Wizard stuff, *this* is = what
it's all about."

The Tales #13 stuff is all available online at: http://www.etyries.com/malkioni/idealist.htm#wizards et seq.

Cheers, Nick
