Anyways.
So, when Tarrin is confronting Jemrik in Demon's Bane ch 1, he slips by the warded door to confront him again inside.
I'm assuming Tarrin's talking about that last 4-step spell that Triana taught him. But that's _druid_ magic. Which is explicitly stated he could _not_ use in the Nexus.Jemrik winced. “I’m sorry about that, my Lord. I didn’t really even look at ye. I didn’t realize ye were a god til you managed to slip through my defensive spells and accost me in here. Er, how did ye do that? I know ye couldn’t have teleported through the door, anyone who’s lived here any time at all knows that that’s the first thing ye do when laying down yer protections, because of those those damned thieving Demons and their ability to teleport around at will. Did my protective spells fade or something?”
“No, your defensive spells were impeccably placed, and they’re still going strong,” Tarrin told him with complete honesty. “You’d have stopped just about anyone but me, probably even quite a few gods.”
“But, but how did ye do it?”
“I know a trick,” he said lightly. “It’s a very rare and relatively unknown trick. But it’s damn effective.”
“I can see that,” he laughed. “So ye are a god of magic then?”
“No, not at all.”
“Then how did ye come to learn this trick so rare and unknown that even gods don’t know about it?”
“My mother taught me,” he said with a slight smile.
Did I miss something, or was that just a minor mistake on Fel's part? Or did he use a different trick that I'm just not remembering?And that was the power he would wield in this world. There was no Weave here in this outer plane, so he could not use Sorcery. The All of this dimension would fry him to ashes if he even thought about touching it, so he could not use his Druidic abilities. But he could use Wizard and Priest magic
The other thing that's been bugging me is a loose-end from Sword. Tarrin was continuing his attemt to understand the languages of Priest and Arcane magic.
Mist snorted. “He’s trying to learn the languages, fool females,” she said gratingly. “He told me that a while ago. He’s trying to understand the languages of those two magicks.”
“Is he nuts?” Camara Tal exclaimed in a harsh whisper. “No mortal can comprehend the language of the gods!”
“And if he thinks he can make any sense out of the language of magic, I’m afraid I didn’t teach him half as well as I thought I did,” Kimmie said with pursed lips. “The language makes absolutely no sense at all. Wizards have literally driven themselves insane trying to comprehend it.”
“Be that as it may, he’s still trying,” Mist told them.
“Why?” both asked.
“He thinks that the closer he is to understanding the languages, the more power and control he’ll have over the magic. I didn’t really understand his explanation, it was way over my head. My mate is much smarter than me,” she admitted honestly.
I didn't see any resolution to his attempt...unless I missed something, he hadn't figured it out yet. Anyone have a feeling on where that one's going? It's mentioned again in Demon's Bane ch1, but not along the lines of breaking the code of the languages.
