Very interesting story indeed. I suppose there really isn't much more that can be done with this, but if you ever think of a sequel, it would be welcome. Hmm, perhaps the flashes everyone saw while doing the location spell could let them change things in some way? At any rate, keep up the good work, whether it's in this universe or not.

This is a good story...different...and slightly confusing, but good. I like it.

I was surprised when I read the time of this story's publication, that it didn't have any reviews. Thus proves that life can be deeply unfair.
Now that my procrastination is done, I congratulate you on a well-written story with an impressively original plot and near-perfect characterization. Keep up the casbah-rocking work.
