Adele continued: "It would take an exceptionally powerful magic user to
undo those spells. Perhaps the Wizard of... But I was forgetting. Eight
hundred years have passed, and he must be long dead. Minestus may well
have sufficient power, but he is unlikely to be co-operative. Of course,
I could probably do it if I had the ring to boost my power, just as the
ring boosted the power of my father and Elaine when they originally cast
the spells. But it may be best if the ring does not come my way, as I'd
be very tempted to put it on and I doubt that I would have much more
success in resisting it than Elaine did."
"At least neither Belboz nor Elaine actually killed anyone," Fred said. "So the ring may not have wholly overpowered their good side." "Thank you, Fred. That is some comfort. My father was a good man once." Astra had been discouraged by what Adele had said, and now she was becoming impatient with the conversation, which seemed from her viewpoint to be straying from the point. "We need to quickly decide what we are going to do," she said. "We may not have much time before Minestus - or perhaps Elaine once again - comes looking for us."
