'lo,

OK, does this mean I will not get compensated for the spells ?
Though on me, but I can live with that.
Right now I just would like to know where I stand.

Also , can you confirm the Eating of the dead works now ?
I want to try again this turn, but obviously would want a chance of succes.

I can make it public, no problem. (news of powerful mages spreads fast
enough anyway.)

Sofar I am the only one who used eating of the dead (appearantly) I am your
only 'squeaky wheel'
Anyone else ?, just speak up

That one's up to you. But doing nothing can also be damaging. Imagine a
player holding a few nobles prisoner
'till their contracts run out. Sofar, nobody did. But I think you can
imagine the disussions and hatemails
been thrown about ? Luckily the bug is fixed now, but others exist.
