In the nineteenth centruy, people used to change even Shakespeare (apparently even to the extent of a happy ending to "King Lear"). Nowadays, those people are regarded by most as beeing practically heretical, but we do the same for comtemporary authors. If a book works with the plot as it stands, why change it!

Why did Lastel collapse? See, I originally thought that L did too because Warrl was doing damage to L's physical body, but that doesn't make sense since Lastel's real body was only "hidden" by a spell (and you will remember that T DID ask K whether or not L was now a woman (the answer was no) since she (T) didn't want NEED to get them rescuing him). ooooooooo....how's that for a complex/run-on sentence?? So who caused/why did Lastel collapse? Was it the little bald priest who did something?" (I hate replying through AOL!) Well, for one thing, the demon did change Lastel into a _real_ female, not just bespelled to look like one-- just after they made their bargain. The reasoning was that only as a real female could Lastel have power over them because of Need. So, it is really his/her body, and Warrl can really do damage to it. Hope that clears everything up for you! --melissa ------------------------------ End of MERCEDES-LACKEY Digest 51 ********************************
