well, story has now progressed quite a bit. 'thul have now finished up 56 pages of rewrite, with a current page total for this section of 89. With the current progression, 'thul will guess that it will be 110 or 120 pages by the time this rewrite is done.
next part of the rewrite will revise some of the system of magic. it was a bit too restricted so far. 'thul have already decided that mages should be slightly more common on the simplest levels, with most of those wielding magic only truly understanding one or two concepts in the language of magic.
It did not make sense for it to be impossible for someone to learn a magical phrase if told it. Instead the user has to truly comprehend it to use it. Not decided yet whether to change where magic takes its energy from, but 'thul do lean towards that. The most common magics will certainly be related to the typical things like fire, ice/water, wind/air, light and such. Those concepts are generally easier for most to understand. Its far harder for someone to truly understand the concepts related to disembowelment.

Note:
when 'thul write in all italics, it is the lord of the three realms within 'thul speaking. A fairly egoistical, but also somewhat simple-minded dragon. Do not take such posts at face value.
