So this ritual-circle drek was similar to the stuff the mystics use for summoning—similar, but not exactly right. If I'd known more about magic, maybe that would mean something to me. It's unfortunate, in a way. Unlike a lot of people I know, I'm not a magophobe—how the frag can you be magophobic in the Sixth World, tell me that?—but I'm certainly no spellworm. I guess the most time I've ever spent with a real-and-for-true practicing spellworm was when I worked alongside Rodney Greybriar back in Seattle ... before he was geeked, of course.
