Prestidigitation - tooleman - 01-27-2007
Just for fun I’d like to open a discussion regarding Rasolm’s appearances’ as the reincarnation of evil in the RJ series; post Keep and excluding the Adversary Cycle. Only three come to my mind: Conspiracies, Gateways and Harbingers any thing else from the forum?

I think you've covered them all.

Why is this thread called "Prestidigitation"...? (boy, that is a hard word to type).

By the way, Ms.Aralo is really Rasalom? Sal Roma appeared in CONSPIRACIES, and he met Jack. Dr.Fielding mentioned her name at hospital in THE HOSTS. But Ms.Aralo didn't appear in THE HOSTS.

Spoilers for ATR and Hosts follow......
Rasalom takes a role in All The Rage: he calls Oz and the doctor to tell them about Scarlip. In Hosts, Rasalom adds the Unity virus to the culture. In both cases, Jack eventually realizes that Rasalom had his hand in things. Hosts also is kind of a turning point: here Rasalom takes direct action to cause trouble. Previously, he just urges people on or supplies them with information and lets their worst side take them where he wants them to go.

(I finally read The Keep).I thought prestidigitation was appropriate, it means performance of or skill in performing magic or conjuring tricks with the hands; sleight of hand, a show of skill or deceitful cleverness. It is not a word you hear every day, but one that evokes thought and triggers the imagination. It also seems to fit Rasalom’s/Malosar’s/Sal Roma’s personality rather well; don’t you think?

Can anyone else think of anagrams used by the arch-villain aside from these three? I can’t, just keep drawing a blank.
