> Now then, is it kosher for Narlock to dismiss or even induct Hruptek based on the acceptance of a view that is not etched in some stone? Is Narlock willing to accept that his view need not necessarily be right? This is a really strong point. Techincally he shouldn't dismiss or induct Hruptek based on differing views. Now.. what if Narlock's assertions were validated by Nepenthe? If so, then it is Nurlock's duty to let the Tower Remember Imb that Nurlock has to be his own person.

He believes, as would I, that the lesser spells like detect invis are transmutation spells(it can be argued that it's their spell since they alone can cast it on others, showing some form of mastery of it).

other mages of the Tower are misguided. This can make him act rather harsh towards those he believes to be

Hruptek had already been made. However, we have to leave room for the possiblity that this is very much in line
with Nurlock's role. He wouldn't be the first 'I'm not going to take any shit from you' Master leader type.
