[strike]All of the Casting totals are wrong. I'll come back to edit them later.[/strike]
I've decided to dump the Glove of Animal Celerity. I had an original idea of having the creatures sort of intermittently teleport but chickened out when it came to writing a description, the final item I did write up doesn't really sing to me at all.
As with 121-135, no additional twilight scars for this period, I didn't do the math but I'd wager that he'd have a really good chance to be lost forever from any twilight episode.
