Great ! I couldn't have said it better, thank you. The "Snarl Darkness" *is* an anti-darkness magic after all...

BB G had "Malign Earth" a.k.a. the dark side of the earth as well as "Death". Like John said above, she was *born* during the Great Darkness & had to fight the enemies of her mom among whom were those omnivorous & voracious stygians, the trolls. On their way up to the surface they probably did also a lot of damage to the earth which, after all, they had to go through... In their defence they probably say that what killed Ernalda was when she was perforated by death (Yelm) while passing through to the the Underworld ! Both are right of course. :o)

Come on Mikko, you can't be serious: except for "Snarl Darkness" -but now the problem is *solved* thanks to John Hughes & I ;o)- the Babeester Gor Magic Keyword is one of the most clear-cut of them all. What else don't you understand with our favorite Avenging Daughter ?!? :o)
Concerning Urvairinus'"Spit Down Wind" feat, sorry but I don't understand what the fuss is about. It is part of a general anti-enemies affinity called "Destroy Dara Happan Foes" which can be used against monsters (Darkness denizens, chaotic entities, giants, spirits, foreign animals, whatever...) with the "Disconcert Monsters" feat, against all Uz with the "Pierce Trolls" feat, against undead & some spirits with the "Shout Away the Dead" & against the spawns of Umath (sylphs, wind spirits, wind children, sky bulls & our good friends the Heortlings) with the "Spit Down Wind" feat !!! What about the effects of all those feats ? Well, mostly augmentations & edges of course !!!
Does it work when an Urvairini fights against an Elmali ?!? Yes, no, maybe with a penalty: YHWMV/YGMV ! :o) ;o) :o)
