"Well, it has been a bit longer than five months since I got here, but three months is the amount of instruction in magic I was given. So I will apologize for the misstating of how long I have been here. But I am floundering in a desperate attempt to get it to conform to the rules that I know and what I have been told."<br/><br/>He pulled out the small PDA, and brought up the PDF versions of the 3.5 D&D player's handbook and DM's handbook, and then offered it to Meridia.

Read that, and tell me straight, doesn't that amount of knowledge in someone with the power of the Summer Knight scare you?
