Leeana a Wizard?

My guess is that Leeana and Bahzell will, in fact, be blessed with children (thus "settling down for a decade or two"). In a previous book Wencit stated that hradani-human crosses are more longed lived than half-elves and have the potential to use wizardry.

So, how about this...one or more of Bahzell's / Leeana's children will not only be a wizard but a wild wizard -- someone Wencit can pass his knowledge to.

Thoughts?

I Do not think Leena is a WIZARD because at the end also Wencit asked Leeana to ask Zarantha to train Sharlassa. But Also we found out that along with Tomanak and Lillinara, Isvaria has Champions. So maybe she will become a Champion of Isvaria. And I am thinking we might see Brandark some how becoming a follower of Semkirk not because of anything to do with Wizrdry but because his mental discipline and thrust for knowledge.

That doesn't smell right.

Wencit warned Toren's father and Toren himself that the younger brother, Herrick, was potentially a huge threat to the Throne. The old Emperor didn't want to hear it, as much as he'd come to trust Wencit. And Wencit, when pressed on the matter, was forced to admit that Herrick's threat potential was just that: a potential threat which might never materialize, although he emphasized that it was far more likely that Herrick would become a mortal danger to Kontovar than that he would not.

That was what he did for the next several decades [note once again the magnificent ambiguity of "decades"] during which he won battle after battle over increasingly numerically superior foes. The Council of Ottovar fought desperately to hold a shield against the arcane attacks of the Carnadosans, which sucked off more and more of the Council's energy from any sort of offensive action. And just to make things even better, it turned out that Herrick was a wild wizard.

Fortunately, Herrick's wild wizardry was never fully awakened. It turned out that if a man who had the potential for wild wizardry was willing to sell his soul to Carnadosa, she could open his wild magic "channels" without the sort of personally traumatic event Wencit has described to Bahzell and Brandark. (Mind you, it wasn't a pleasant process for Herrick even with Carnadosa letting him cut corners, but it could be done, and in a relatively short period of time.) On the other hand, Herrick's "channels" would never be as deep, as powerful, as what would have happened had his wild wizardry been awakened "naturally." Thus, even though he was at least several centuries younger than Wencit, and so (theoretically) a more powerful wild wizard, he was never actually able to match Wencit's power. Nor, obviously, had he been given anything like as long to learn to master the techniques of wand wizardry. Which meant he never dared to face Wencit directly.

...

In the final battle, Toren and Herrick faced one another directly in hand-to-hand combat. Ultimately, Toren could not possibly have won the fight, since he was effectively the last member of his last army still on his feet. In the event, the battle between them -- which involved another artifact of the House of Ottovar [tum, te, tum, te, tum] -- not only dropped both of them but killed almost every man (and creature) of the army Herrick had brought to the ball, as well. Unfortunately, the Carnadosans still had several armies left, and Toren's had been the last army the Good Guys™ had.

So, after the last battle, Wencit -- as he and Toren had already discussed -- strafed Kontovar.

Likely the first of any children that they have will be named Vijon but when he gets thrown back in time for whatever reason (remeber in war gods own, or oath of swords, that Wenict told us wizards can travel in time but only backwards).
why else was he prepared 700 years in advance? and other things, all the "waiting a long time, long anticipated" stuff that we see from gods, and wencit. in Sword Brother Wencit drops a glamor that he holds so close before he kills one of the wizards. it has yet to be explained. my bet is its the one that makes it seem as if he is human (full human)
