Hi!

<groan> I really should read all the e-mails before answering. Yes, it
makes sense now. Thw bolt of change is a strange power, while the bolt
seems physical the transformation is pretty funky and self-repair should
not stop Tzeentch's power. Magnus's beam is another story, its purely a
high powered laser that should be repaired.

I guess we were all correct <grin>
