KM on challenge.

My ideas on this are a little different. My thoughts were the 'but', being a word that enquires about change and question, would work against Morgred's weapon, his magic sword. I originally thought it might turn it into a question mark - but that links in, because that would only de a divergence - and would still require the other spell casting to defeat the sorceror.

Usually spells have a significance. "change" changed people into a goblin. "arken" was the name of the shield. "Freeze" and "Fire" they're obvious. even "Erg" is named correctly. It stumped me for a bit, until i realised that an erg is a unit of energy... but i digress.
I honestly cannot see any connection with "But". If Mogdred was to be butted out of the window, surely the spell would've been "butt". as for extra time, well possibly, but i don't see the relevance of the name of the spell. It may have made sense to whoever wrote the script. Mr Child? You may be needed to answer this question. It may even have made sense if the quest was completed. but at this stage? who knows...

The thing is, they had time to do TRANSFORM, but for some reason, people always spellcasted waaaaaaaaay to slowly.
Instead of their 'Spellcasting T.................R..................A...............N' etc etc, they should have just done it quickly. 'Spellcasting T.R.A.N.S.F.O.R.M'
Anyway, to the 'BUT' spell, maybe it was some sort of mood changed. Something along the lines of 'I could kill you, BUT for some reason, I don't feel like it.'

I don't think they could have cast TRANSFORMATION quickly enough. I'd always supposed that was the puzzle- to work out they had to use the shorter spell.
Your explanation of BUT is definitely a possibility.

I remember hordriss mentioning something about the "but" spell being a "humble little spell" if the team had shown humility (surely one of the attributes supported by Knightmare - along with truth, justice etc) they might have used this one when given the choice.
Hafta say i like geraldine's interpretation of the spells better than mine although i liked the idea of a dungeoneer 'transforming' their quest object to appear as well.
perhaps Bva could help? thats assuming an end was ever written for this quest! perhaps using our imaginations on the subject would be fun tho.

It might be fun to take one of these situations where we're not sure exactly what would have happened, and see who can come up with the most imaginative, funniest, most entertaining, or surreal explanation.

oops my bad! :-[
sorry grimaldine
Heh, no problem. I'll just have to book a few months on a psychiatrist's couch, that's all.
