I hope it succeeds in helping! I will be sure to keep your willingness for feedback in mind. :-) Oh, yeah, of course! Character profiles--in my opinion and in this case, anyway--are more general guidelines for them, anyway, not set-in-stone characteristics. Characters sometimes end up being slightly different than their profiles once a story gets going and the writer gets to know them a bit better, gets to see how they'll actually end up reacting to things (because sometimes, characters totally do things their writer didn't intend or expect). I had an idea about the magic in Wonderland, and thought I would run it by you. Because it's always good to get technical. It would better explain why Drust would not have put as much effort into Elayra's magical capabilities, since it's a sorceress she and Ghent would have to go up against in the end. [b]My Thoughts:[/b] The Curse didn't just mess with people and animals, but with the flow of magic itself, interrupting how--and who--it obeys those capable of accessing it. Of course, the Red Sorceress would be capable of altering that, allowing those who serve her to not be effected. However, with everyone else (with a couple exceptions I'm sure we'll meet *Grins mischievously*), including Elayra and Drust, it only worked once to block others, and is ongoing, like a disease, passing to those born into Wonderland. Which means that Ghent would be neither recognized nor hindered by this aspect of the Curse since he escaped before it hit, allowing him full access to any magical abilities. Yea? Nay?
