Why would she do this, unless the matter was vastly more important than it seems... hmm." *dispatches some Red Wizards and henchcritters to find out*).Of course, if you get involved in some Faerun-shaking war or magical cataclysm, Elminster and others are going to also be involved; but if you're going to be totally outshined by them, the odds are you wouldn't have been able to do much anything about the issue anyway.</blockquote>
