I added spoiler tags!

What's an OP?

Oh....you didn't have to add spoiler tags. Your post wasn't a spoiler...... I just wanted to give everyone a heads up that the poster hadn't finished the book yet....
I'm sorry.

Thanks for all the nice replies, everyone. Glad to finally emerge from the shadows and actually post.

And we are glad to have you! Enjoy your stay

....a push of such magnitude at the The Shp goon squad probably would have killed him...and as everyone has stated, the effect is not permanent...

Don't be sorry! It was thoughtful, as we know you are!
