This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Able was in the same situation after he "fell" from Skai (I think there is a
deliberate parallel to Lucifer there) and used his Skai-powers in
Mythgarthr. He was either prohibited or unable to return to Skai. It is not
impossible that both are true: That he was unable because what he had done
was prohibited and it was prohibited because it would prevent a being from
returning to from where he powers came.
