Rohham Severs the Sorcerer's Hand

Rohham Severs the Sorcerer's Hand

From B13.10, The Turanians Use Sorcery. It illustrates B13.10.21–28:

  • B13.10.21
    A sage approached Rohham and showed the heightWhere magic’s source lay hidden from the fight.
  • B13.10.22
    He showed where bold Bazoor had made his stand,With spell and talisman at his command.
  • B13.10.23
    Rohham wheeled round and left the battleground,Then climbed through drifts that covered all around.
  • B13.10.24
    He girded up his jowshan to his waist,On foot he climbed; up to the peak he raced.
  • B13.10.25
    The warlock saw him; black with rage he grew,And seized a gorz of Chin, and at him flew.
  • B13.10.26
    Rohham approached and drew his trenchant steel,And closed upon the warlock with fearless zeal.
  • B13.10.27
    He struck and severed Bazoor’s magic hand;At once the spell began to leave the land.
  • B13.10.28
    A wind like Resurrection swept the height,And drove the black cloud out before the light.
