Richard awakes in a new place he has never been before. The sliph is over him trying to make sure he survived. He is in an escape tunnel that Baraccus made. He no longer has his gift. The sliph begins to talk to him and seems to respond to his statements trying to get more out of him, but in the end the sliph tells him that he has failed the test the Baraccus left him and disappears.
Back at the Wizard’s Keep they begin to try and piece together what happened to Richard. For the time being though, Nathan must become Lord Rahl to protect them against the dream walker. Him and Ann are going to the palace before it is under siege.
Richard remembered where he had heard what the sliph told him before. A night wisp named Shar had told him it before. He realizes that Baraccus had been laying multiple tests in his path to check his progress and give him multiple opportunities to get the book that held to secrets to his powers. The night wisps have held the secret library for him. The sliph comes back and tells him that he has passed the test and where he is and how to get to the night wisps.
The book should be able to tell Richard how to get his power back or instruct him on how to use it when he gets it back by removing the drawn spell. Richard has been granted great power which he never learned to use. With this power he could be able to eliminate the Imperial Order through constructed magic or other means which the Order has no defense against without other war wizards. This is the first time they have a promising solution to end the war.
