Novel without Infobox (auto list): many novel articles do not have an infobox - and need one (auto generated list) - may need expansion of article too Our Collaboration Department is continuing with one more title Adam Bede for the current month. Get collaborating on the article and also look at nominating other titles to be considered. The new article Fictional locations now exists - as a companion article to Fictional characters - but it is still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. Another new article A Taste for Death (P.D. James novel)‎ now exists - but it is also still a stub and could do with plenty more imput to improve it. A new Infobox exists to support the growing number of "Short Story" articles that are tagged as part of the project - take a look at it and comment on it's talk page. I would suggest we use it for "Short Stories and "Novelettes" and leave the main "Book infobox" for "Novels" and "Novellas". New hitlists added to the main worklist.

[edit] magic casting

i was just wondering that a part i read about lirael where she 'reached' somewhere to cast the big magic.. was wondering if there is any place that explains where she actually reached to get so many magic to cast? is it like another 'dimention' or someting?? :D

Basically. The Charter, and all of the magic and Charter Marks it contains, seems to be omnipresent within the Old Kingdom, so Lirael would have essentially reached into another dimension. Note: This is pure speculation, Garth Nix left the nature of the Charter vauge. 12.17.189.77 02:55, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Are you referring to "reaching into" the Charter? It's best to think of the Charter as the magical underpinnings of the world - it's what allows magic to be constrained by symbols (safely) and a proper cycle of Life and Death to exist. Reaching into the Charter is like embracing the True Source in Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time". That's my impression, anyway. Sir Ophiuchus 20:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
