"I don't know Thnisko well, but they love each other. I can't comment, since I have a complicated love life of my own. Imperator Furiosa." The Mariner clucks. "Remarkable woman. As for Deet, she's all right. The Heretic and the Wanderer are looking after her animals and I trust Thnisko to make sure she's safe."

The Mariner shakes her head, and then the Swimmer does the same. "I have herbal remedies in my quarters, but they're for healing disease and poisons, not magic. That wouldn't help here. So there's nothing we can do but hope this is temporary, unless you think the offender could be talked into reversing it if we find him - which I doubt. Spirits are elusive."
