First, the question. It concerns halt person. What maledictions can be cast/communed on a person who is halted without initiating combat? I'm thinking along the lines of slow, soften, fumble, etc. Does it matter whether the spells/supplications come from a wand/staff/scroll? This is my first transmuter, and I'd rather not find this stuff out in the middle of a pk attempt... Second, the criticism. It seems ludicrous to me that the Masters are opposed to Sylvan. Why must nature be pushed aside to make room for magic? This doesn't seem to follow at all. Was it just added to ensure each cabal has the same number of enemies? My character _might_ consider joining masters, but I can't in good conscience pursue it because the bit about hating Sylvan/nature would be OOC. *sigh*
