12 #3: The wordings of the 1st and 3rd choices are confusing I think. The 1st sounds like you have to use Thaumaturgy if you can, but of course you'd rather use a Temeris potion and save some WP. Therefore I propose that we: 1) move the second choice to the first position, and 2) (see the next errata entry).

This abuses the sentence structure a bit, but it works, or?

OK, rejected.

Is there a missing link option that should go here? The final link lists 3 Magical Powers you can use, but you are only given the option of two of them. If not, 'Theurgy' should be removed from the final option.
To reach this section, you have to possess Theurgy, so the first choice implies that you use it. We could perhaps modify the choice text to make it explicit?
Ah, right. Would footnoting this would be best?
I vote for clarifying footnote.
OK, but... hm.
15 #6: Explain that the first choice means you use Theurgy.
I have no creative idea here. Anyone?
I would suggest that "wish to ask" should become "wish to use the Power of Theurgy and ask"
OK, this becomes an erratum.

That footnote really sucks. Better ideas anyone?
How about: "The term Agarashi is not found elsewhere in the World of Lone Wolf series. However, in the more recent Lone Wolf books, Dever has used the term to denote any monstrous servant of Agarash the Damned." Still not that great, though.
Although the term <quote>Agarashi</quote> is not used in anywhere else in the <cite>Worlds of Lone Wolf</cite> books, it is used elsewhere as the collective name for the monstrous servants of Agarash the Damned.

Technically maybe only the second, but I think it would look very odd, so I'm for changing both.

I say lose the bit about making it a Special Item (if this doesn't create any continuity problems).
