But the Loskalmi and the Ralians don't pay that much attention.
Their magics might say that the Abiding Book is true but when
subjected to a truth contest, their own scriptures are found to
be better.

Furthermore the Abiding Book will have its own subtleties
and ambiguities, the resolution of which will be only achievable
when one draws closer to the Invisible God.  If you want a book
which states everything with blunt certainty then the Sharp
Abiding Book is the text for you.  But the Malkioni that followed
_that_ forgot God and perished forthwith.
