Exactly what I was thinking. Eadric seems almost determined to fall, sometimes.

I'll second this as well.
Realizing that Jovol was a wild card / plot device and thus not wholly bound by stats and rules, you have to wonder what the comparable power levels are between the cabal that bound what was to become the Claviger and the eleven in Shuth. And isn't there some tie between the source of the entity that became the Claviger and Chesne? The Shuth cabal might be a bit miffed that some other magicians had the temerity to mess with their goddess. It is conceivable to me that one of the major assumptions of the Claviger is that it prosecutes its authority against a single magician, a small cabal of 3-4 valent at best. Assuming that the spell that bound the entity was on par with the Wave of Hate, the Shuth cabal might be able to shunt the Claviger out of this reality all together with proper preparation.
Not much to stop their magics against Wyre then, is there?
It may be that Jovol was not preparing against the self-destruction of the magicians of Wyre but rather creating a bulwark against the Chesne cultists who saw the cascade at Khu as a "first strike".
Enjoying the story as always, Sepulchrave. Thank you.
