Also, perhaps the Marid will be grateful that we cleanse his presumed waters of the 20-cannon gunship.]20We’re super excited to use this powerful magic despite Rufyl’s protests. We ask Dalris to name “the most invulnerable and feared creature of these waters” and she comes up with a Dragon Turtle.We explain our plan to transform Rufyl into this creature; its hard shell will prevent him from being hurt.She stares back at us with her “olive eyes” [first time their color is mentioned] and proclaims us insane with powers beyond our control. “Don’t you know that a Polymorph Other spell can destroy its subject if you’re not absolutely sure what you’re doing? Are you willing to subject Rufyl to that kind of danger?”We protest that Rufyl has been polymorphed before, by our father —“Landor was ten times the sorcerer you are!”Ouch.We tell Dalris to stand aside and, heart racing with a mixture of fear and excitement, we pull out our Traveling Spellbook and read the Polymorph Other spell as though it were a scroll. Which, as the gamebook helpfully reminds us, alleviates the need for the spell’s material component (a caterpillar cocoon).INT test, and this time it’s a hard one.(78) if 25 or more.(109) if less.</blockquote>
