Fine! And perhaps if they also knew the feat (but not very well!) they could augment her casting of it?

Yes, I like this.

Quite.... Or even some less controvertial group. The thought that sparked all this off was Kallyr having a non-Vingan bodyguard, and me wondering how he keeps up with her. Life is easier for him now she's no longer Vanganthi, of course!

If one were biased that way, I'm sure it could. Pass me a scapegoat...

I love it! That experiment is going to have to be made. How do they identify which one's the one doing the casting, do you think? I even know which devotee and whose idea it was... WW list were asking for ways in which Kallyr and Broyan manage interesting cock-ups, and this looks like a good one.
