While he may have been magicologically correct, beware the danger of trying to pry objective, factual info from dialog I wrote for any NPC, and especially Arlaten.
Arlaten was and is, in my view, highly prejudiced in typical Rokari fashion. I don't care for the "softening" attitude Arlaten is described as having in the newer Pavis books. I think he is a xenophobic westerner, and while on the nose in calling a troll a 'Krjalk night demon', he might well use the same term for a morokanth or a telmori.
Writers, beware the danger of having too-reasonable NPCs!
