Come to think of it, I wonder if it's going to be treated as a big, world-ending deal that a single page is damaged? Unless the rest of the writing is vague and disconnected, the other pages should give context for whatever the hell Dominic was trying to do. Or is this one of those situations where they need everything to be intact because magic?

Also, there's only 5 pages total? It's not a book, it's a poster, apparently.

Oh, so suddenly pagefinder can't track pages in the Wild Edge, when it's convenient for drama!

And I take back what I said, one destroyed page out of five is admittedly a big deal. But also, what the hell was this originally that was only five pages? A letter, maybe?

I don't know why, but I'm willing to give him the paper magically finding snout and magically knowing Snout's motivations, but magically being able to discern where the next pages are in sequential order? A bridge too far.

Edit: Like if the book these pages were from was magic and the pagefinder was the index? I could accept that. Something about it being one spell that does a plethora of things is frustrating.

I think the implausible part is not that the pagefinder finds them in sequential order, but that their locations are in sequential order.

Presumably it goes for whatever the closest page is, because that would be most sensible...it just so happens that the closest page is also apparently the next page in the sequence, for reasons.

Yes, that's exactly it. It feels even more ridiculous remembering that these weren't even bound pages in a book, but a satchel full of papers.

Of course Mookie could still slam dunk on all of us with a last minute reveal that the pages aren't in the right order, and when Snout re-arranges it we find out Dominic was committing some kind of magical atrocity.

ESPECIALLY given that a few pages beforehand dr robotnik was creating madly powerful gusts of wind



which I guess the library was lucky enough to have avoided, otherwise Snout would be picking all the books off the floor.

Yeah it's like Erotic Colossus or something. At least back then he had the excuse of being a young idiot, but his later fictional places had equally lovely names and backgrounds. Like the werewolf realm which was yet another white void, but this time the white void is because of SNOW.

The concept of Horny City as a fantasy locale is actually the best idea in all of Dominic Deegan. It's like a city, but horny.

I mean it made sense for a living orgy town, it just later apparently became separated into "Normal Erossus" where people were just big titty and then "Down Town Erossus" that metaphorically crushed Gregory Deegan with a hammer.

A) List not in alphabetical order

B) Love my geography books that are just big lists of place names (Aberthast Cathedral is a region apparently) with no page numbers or anything that would indicate it's an index

C) standard Deegan nonsense plot exposition. It's a twist! I'm sure every other spell in there mentions whether or not it can talk too.The only reason that inclusion makes sense is because we know this version of the spell talks, but from the description, the normal spell is like a magic HUD which no one would assume has an intelligence behind it to talk anyway. It's like specifying that a compass cannot communicate in any other language than pointing arrows.
