Subject    Actura's Spellbook



Following the footsteps of his brother Luthien, young Bardal
Evindel also
became an apprentice to Zanglero.

His first task, to master a spell of the Elven Mage Actura.  He
entered the
Conclave library and slowly walked up the stairs, each footstep
resounding
throughout the tower.

Shortly after, he reached the library and began his search for
the spellbook. 
He found it, lying on a desk in the middle of the western room.

He looked around to see if anyone else was in the room, when he
deemed it not
so, he sat down and began to turn through the pages, studying
every word
within.  Finding a spell he thought he could handle.

He stood up, looked at the spell book, and uttered the words '
candussido
judifgz'.nothing happened, had he failed?

Just then he felt a blue glow emanate around him, what had just
happened?  He
had enchanted himself, but what exactly did he enchant it with? 
Excited that
he learned a spell he left the library in search of Zanglero then
suddenly, , 
he fell down the stairwell and crashed into the room with Liam's
spirit. 
"That's what it did" Bardal thought, realizing he had
disenchanted himself,
removing his flight spell.  "At least now I can explain to
everyone what it is
I learned."

He attempted to recast the spell, uttering the words 'candussido
judifgz'.this
time nothing happened.  Really."Aww, guess it's back up to the
library," 
Bardal entered the Scrying Room and went up the stairs again,
grabbing the
spellbok and sitti He attempted to recast the spell, uttering the

guess it's back
up to the library,"

Bardal entered the Scrying Room and went up the stairs again,
grabbing the
spellbok and sitting at the desk, his studies starting all
overagain.
