Thank a lot, it explain many things. I guess author haven't though of making use for *both* old and new plot disciplines, with new ones giving greater advantage? (like, in situation when you deal with enemies and animal, you may use animal kinship to make it *not* attack you, or you could use Animal Control to make it attack your enemies...). Nevertheless, the more mechanic ones - like Healing or Weapon Skill - should be quite a help, anyway.

Don't worry, restarting book is OK - I'm prepared that it may be price for hammering out bugs. Heck, to celebrate book 6 release for our devices, (and because I lost my old saved during N900->N900 migration) I replayed whole saga from the beginning. Nice to refresh memories!
