Sorcerer's House--First Read--Some Thoughts/Questions

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.

Melt silver.

Pour into bullet mold.

Allow to cool and harden.

However, you certainly don't need a dueling pistol, and you certainly
don't need a flintlock. Any cap and ball weapon would work, like my 1858
Remington (a six shot revolver).
