Gnomes bleed a lot

Thanks Thak, that's actually very helpful. I think some in your party might wish you'd add 'Thou Shalt Help Bleeding Gnomes', but there's only so many hrs in the day.

And Ed is welcome to cast your spell non stop when he makes his next mage.

Uh huh.

I acquiesce about the spell. It's a fine 1st level spell.
