"Well, it's a trap, obviously," the elven magus noted. "Good luck that your slave tripped it before you did."

"Noted," Tez said, containing his growl. "How do we get her out of it?" He spared a glance towards Andrea, who's breathing had become ragged as the book's storyline carried her through an endless series of chases and confrontations.

The magus shrugged. "You can't. Her soul is stuck in the book until her body dies of exhaustion or thirst. If you touch the book yourself you'll be drawn in, and if you remove it from her grip she'll be soul ripped."

Hopefully her situation won't last that long. Otherwise it'll be shades of the Ground trapped Lakewalkers from TSK: Legacy.

Yes but it's good to know they donlt have to let her starve to death or die of dehydration in front of them if they can't get her out quickly.
