Well!
What strikes me the most at the moment is the new side of Doug we get to see here... the one that has studied everything he could about the way magic works in order to help understand his own abilities. Its so easy to overlook in the previous stories because the events there have been so much more action based, I suppose if someone from the pits of Voles could complain hey where did that come from, but that would be because they've not hung around here enough to know what you;ve explained to us.
In short, you've proven to me that Doug really does have the Magic! skill at the intelectual level, despite his personal casting limitation and its good to see the proof of that here.
Hear that thunder rolling till it seems to split the sky?
That's every ship in Grayson's Navy taking up the cry-
NO QUARTER!!!
