[QUOTE="DM_Matt, post: 2887449, member: 1213"] Maggie tries to answer... "Well, it is difficult to explain. I'll try to put it in terms that you can, uh, oops, yeah that didn't come out right. Yeah, anyway, everything in the universe has a truename. Its a system that underlies all magic and much reality.
