The name of the book is Sceptre of Power, not Novice Spells Of Way Less Power.We grab the Bohemian ear-spoon out of the crypt thing's lap. It flares to brilliant light.Beldon, his yellowish ivory robe eerily similar in color to the crypt thing's bones, tells us to give him the bec de corbin and he might allow us to play with whatever else we can find down here.In a word: no.We raise the fauchard-fork just as Beldon flings "fine dark dust" into the rays of light and pronounces, "Black pearl, powder of doom, I summon death and gloom."Rufyl telepathically screams that this is a Death Spell, Beldon's most powerful incantation.Everything happens at once: a green "dweomer" shoots out from Beldon's eyes towards our chest, but when it is a few feet away, it bends upwards to be drawn into the "center of the three shining pearls" atop the spetum.The power drained from Beldon's spell passes through the handle of the I'm-out-of-funny-polearm-names into our fingers and as soon as it does, we light up with green death magic which streams from eyes into Beldon's heart, dropping him to the floor like a loaf of moldy bread.The "dweomer" of the Death Spell vanishes and is replaced by the white brilliance emanating from the Sceptre of Bhukod.The book concludes at (244).</blockquote>
