Argh!  Sorry about misfiring posts 
lately.  Will iron these trigger-happy 
fingers after typing this... <g>

I suspect that if this aspect is true, 
then the categorization of AK as 
"unforgivable" makes a lot of sense: 
it's cannibalism but with magicality.

Still Lumos, still in parts:

I had posted my thoughts on this back in 
June as the third 'prediction' in post 
#59741.
