[edit] Master of warren

Tattersail was said to be powerful, and this was demonstrated by the fact that she was the master of Thyr. somewhere in the first book. thus it was said that she was one of the most powerful mages in the empire, and had refused the title of high mage multiple times.

her being master of the warren sounds like she has 'administrative' duties. like the high priest in some online Muds -Oxinabox (talk)

[edit] Mages live longer?

Powerful mages seem to have much increased life span (at least compaired the humans on earth) didn't tattersail live for over 400 years? is it just that everyone lives longer than real humans in this series. Oxinabox (talk) 03:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] High magics

the book often mentions that so and so needs a high dennul healer to remove those sars/reatact that leg. and in the first book Tattersail travelled the a warren of high thyr. which was supposed to be more pretected, and thus she was supried the the tellan warren surrounding tool crushed it. this warren seemed to be more like a tube connecting 2 poinst (here start point and here goal) that a realm. this suggest that there are lower 'warrens' and high 'warrens' for travelling ins some warrens (as in magic). We need to deal with this in the artical. does high x mean just more skilled use, or is it a better form only availiable to the more skilled, (but no nescisairlly the more powerfull - the disdrant of the grey swords at the start of the 3rd book is discribed as being bless by fener with great power in denul {the ability to draw more from the warren?} and also as a high denul healer). -03:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] non-warren based magic

this artical mentions nonwarren based magic at the top. but doesn't go into it much. needs sections on: Spirit communication: like Whe wikan warlocks did on the chain of dog's when the Seci (sp?) god cut of thier warrens. and the root and thread magic Bottle employed to evedrop undectably on ajuact travor. that his grand mother taught him/her. -Oxinabox (talk) 03:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
