Hm, this is kinda cool. My two gripes with it are, this does not jive 
with the oft-appearing tale of the Masterstroke, some kind of artistic 
war-machine that destroyed the Reigar homeworld. Maybe this was merely 
an incident that other races and retelling twisted to become the story 
we hear now....and why only the thoughts of humanoids?......  Plus, I 
would offer that rather than being 'embodied creativity', how about some 
kind of beings of chaos, fortever striving to be creative but doomed to 
be unable to repeat what another has already done? 'Embodied creativity' 
makes me think of the magic system behind the Mage/WoD game, which I 
really hate. *G*

As for the Reigar puppet-mastering the Arcane, yeah, I dig it!  A race 
as wierd as the blue giants, with their unknown agendas, seems ripe for 
conspiracy theories: the Illuminati in space? And it's said the Arcane 
never anger the Reigar; maybe this fellow's hit on why?

~ADA~
