just a really convenient way to pass on knowledge and safeguard secrets. I wonder if the Mangaecca have looked into it?
Agreed. Sorcery turns on meaning. Why not pass along the best sorcerers direction via mind-meld, I mean grasping, rather than wasting years studying it each generation.
this is like the Earwan version of carrying boatloads of secret info in an external hard drive! easy to sneak out of a burning library, but what if it fell into the wrong hands??? i do hope the Consult didn't 'tinker' with Seswatha's heart while they had a spy in Atyersus, i guess we'd better keep on eye on Serwa...
