I would be interested in doing something about the different magics at some stage. I know that the Wit and Skill have been covered but it would be good to have a heading for magic in general, covering all known magics including hedge-magics and scrying? I know Fitz wrote an informative blurb on it all and that would be a really good place to start with research. Will add it to my list of things to do on the wiki.
Nuytsia, I actually thought that reading the entry would give people a better understanding of the passage regarding Fitz and pecksies in FF, especially when not having read WLC. Not sure if there's too much actual spoiler material? I don't think there's anything realy there that I haven't touched on elsewhere in the forum. What do you think, Mervi, or anyone else who has read WLC? Up to you though, Nuytsia, as I definitely understand your reasoning...much better to get that 'Aha!' during the reading of the story!
As for capitals or not, well, it beats me and I TEACH school!! Dragons or elves or pixies etc don't use a capital so not sure why pecksies would. I'd have thought that 'Others' has one simply to differentiate them from the word 'other'. Elderlings do also so possibly it is a race thing in RotE. Funny that they are different in the two lots of text though.
