* That Celestial Brilliance spell sounds ... well, brilliant! If you don't want to use up the scroll right off, we do have the ever-burning torches and maybe the captain could suggest a place to mount one on deck.
* We may not need/want to cast all of our spells right away -- I suppose we must wait to see what the storm brings, first, and how long it lasts, and so on.
* Re: Mending, it's true that it can't fix everything, but it might help here and there with little things -- snapped chain, frayed rope, or the like. Maybe Kearse could check with the captain and see if/where such a spell may be useful.
* I do wish we had gills, or Potions of Water Breathing, or one of those magical figurines that turns into a boat, or something. Thorfinn and Symon can do Water Walking, so that's good; but you and I have no such luck. Personally my plan, if things go south, is to hop into Symon's arms or on his Hellcat back, and let him Water Walk me to safety. Kearse, I suggest you do the same with Thorfinn.
* On the plus side, I keep trying to remind myself that these guys (captain, pilot, crew, etc.) are professionals, and have no doubt sailed in storms before. They know what to do! Bahiyya's a landlubber, though, so all of this is a bit strange and frightening for her.
* On the minus side, I had a horrible thought that perhaps this portion of the sea is haunted or cursed or something, and that the same fate that overtook the Mary Celeste -- I mean, the Alexandra -- is about to befall us!
