Reforge

However you explain it, do not say "WOBNIAR". Spell it, say that it's rainbow backwards, anything else to communicate the name. Just having it written in a book was enough to summon Wobniar's servants, so saying the name might call their attention.

Well obviously you won’t speak its name! You never would have written it if you hadn’t been bewitched or bamboozled or whatever!
Any child knows not to invoke a spirit in vain.

The image of god is god itself.

Tell that your father had a spell on the book, and all details you remember from the book. Wobniar was sealed there. A historian may know what was capable of defeating Wobniar and his servants.

As for your story...I don't think it's possible to escape that someone in the room is at fault. It's not like the castlab was full of people. Regardless, it's somewhat likely that the book had some sort of effect on the reader to make them want to fill in those letters.

Donnella: There was a book in the library that I happened upon. It seemed like some old religious text There was some kind of spellwork on it to prevent people from paying attention to it. I read a bit of it but, what with the spell, didn’t pay it much mind. And I… filled in a scratched out name.


Vizier: Oh! Oh.
Vizier: So you… were the actual agent of summoning in this case.

Donnella: Well, I mean, I didn’t mean to be! I was under the spell’s sway, I couldn’t think it was important! And I think there might have been something that made me want to write it.

The Vizier sighs.
Vizier: Of course not, Firstborn. It is… mmmm… unfortunate that you were swayed by such forces.

Are they even trying to hide it? You can hear the disdain in their voice. For you to be tricked by magic like that, given your importance, your training, and the fact that you were born blessed with Soul magic yourself…
The vizier has lost a great deal of respect for you.

Vizier: Still! If you were at the center of the very scene of this spirit’s emergence, you know much about the events that followed, yes?
Vizier: Tell me more about this book. Do you know more about it? Could it have been planted by our enemies to the north, or…?


You proceed to fill the vizier in on the events of that morning, and everything that you know about the book and its contents. Although its origin is unknown, you agree, based on your father’s testimony, that the book, for whatever reason it was present, was not placed or enchanted as an attack from another family or nation.

The vizier seems especially intrigued by your idea that WOBNIAR was somehow sealed away inside of the tome- a proposition that would at least explain the troubling fact that neither of you have ever heard any mention of such a powerful spirit.

You also summarize what you know about the jar. The vizier claims to not have any experience with it, but they suggest that its existence might explain some of the odd things they have heard your father mention. As with WOBNIAR, it is frankly disturbing that there is no apparent record of what appears to be a potent magical artifact.


And then, as you reach the part in your story covering your escape through the forest, you hesitate. It’s a ludicrous idea. Utterly unscientific and, frankly, blasphemous. But you can’t shake your suspicions that, somehow, Cinaatshyyer was using non-elemental magic.

You’re sure that you must be mistaken, and you’ve already made a fool of yourself. But… but what if?
Do you voice the idea that Cinaatshyyer may have transcended the elements?
