Curse 'Stupefy', is the word 'Enervate' to bring the victim back 
round. However, it's been bothering me for a while, and I've finally 
got round to getting out a dictionary. Sure enough, the English 
word 'enervated' which this must be related to, means to deprive of 
vigour and vitality. Surely if you used this sort of word, it should 
create an even deeper Stun, rather than waking them up? 
Wouldn't 'Energate' for 'energise' have been a better counter spell?

Aw, gee.  Now I feel bad for neglecting you.  :-)

As a relative newbie, I lack the power and authority to pronounce you 
a L.O.O.N. (although I surely ought to be able to nominate you, so 
I'll do that).  As for the substance of your Flint, my dictionary 
agrees, but there could be some Latin involved (or even Brit-speak), 
both of which intimidate me.

help)
