This Super-Wizard has interesting language, even if he has orthodox 
doctrine from military training *and* he's on liaison duty to a

miscolored panels in mine.  I won't dwell on them, but they happen.

That is the best explanation of the magnitude of the Super Wizard war 
that I've seen.  You've convinced me, you still have a lot of story 
left.  I look forward to it.
