New Lesson Learned (for a newb);
I spent two turns with all my mages Calling Back my killed Pretender. I knew he would return weakened, but it was painful. He lost one level in all the magic paths he had, and since he was a (mini) rainbow Pretender it cost five levels in total, and he lost access to 3 paths.
Sigh....
Now we have to start the "Call Competitor" spell and revive Kupiko.
