Oh, it's awful! I've done it a few times now. Not the final death, obviously, but still. Never quite get used to it.
I do, and recently received my rapier - it's encrusted with glintstone as well so it can be used to cast additional spells. I've not had the occasion to really use the moonlight but you can be sure I'm going to try now. My aunt twice removed is the undisputed master of it. Will you be joining in with the covens or the party, tonight?
