: "In the context of "Morreion", the "I Owe You Nothing" reading of IOUN does make some sense: after all, the story revolves around the paradoxical warning "Nothing Threatens Morreion" - the Nothing in question being an extra-cosmic zone of nullity that is about to destroy the planet where Morreion dwells. By cutting open the stars, Nothing renders the IOUN Stones retrievable by humans and archveults - it has a close bearing on them."

That's the best explanation yet! Cheers Nick. However, I'm still confused as to why one magician should owe the other magician "Nothing", and how that translates to the stones. If you understand - please explain. ** Donna **
