Somebody living in those huts forges platemail hauberks, though... Hmmm... must be using those books in the forge.

"Makuto mighty Fire mage! Magic book... Fire!" (chucks it in the forge, and smiles proudly)

The Black Sorceror (played by John Cleese) leans in to speak to his God discretely, "This latest generation of Witch Doctors _are_ a bit dim, My Lord. But we are paying them less. We save enough on their recruitment to buy an entire unit of archers!"

"And how many in a unit?"

"Ah... _one_, Sir."

"Hrmm", growled the Lord of the Desert Sun pensively... "One, two, three, four, five becomes 1,3,6,10,15. Or what was once 75 has become 45... And five archers."

"I do not understand, Lord. These numbers, are they... a prophesy?"

"Yes. Of doom."

(OK, so I'm whining. But it's a _Classy_ whine.)

That almost made me want to reduce the research of other machakans as well. Hilarious!
