The fatigue, will to fight and general wellbeing are provided ultimately from the reserves generated by the eating and rest (with digestion) represented by an extended rest - and magic speeds up the conversion of those reserves into immediate vim.I'm glad you're here to put us right on that. I would hate to think that we were in any danger of labouring under incorrect opinions or not adhering to your mandated orthodoxy. Heaven forbid that we might actually have opinions of our own, even if they are not as obnoxious and bigoted as the one expressed here.</blockquote>
