These [[Abstention | abstentions]] are excessively rare, as are the [[Abstainee | abstainee]] wizards involved, who frequently seem as confused as everyone else as to why the Lone One should desire to spare them Its attentions. The only hint is that Abstainees do often turn out to be some of the most powerful wizards, or some of the most unusual ones.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

There are, however, exceptions, and Ordeals can sometimes be either arrested or unusually prolonged, for obscure operational reasons (such as [[Rhiow | Rhiow's]] Ordeal in [[TBONWM]]) or due to personal or developmental issues (as in the case of [[McAllister, Darryl | Darryl McAllister]]). &lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
