How do you know they're magic and not some mechanical device of the dwarves? Tanis asked, sensing that Tas was hiding something.Tas gulped. He had been hoping Tanis wouldn't ask him that question.Uh, Tas stammered, I---I guess I did sort of happened to, uh, mention them to Raistilin one night when you were all busy doing something else. He told me they might be magic. To find out, he said one of those weird spells of his and they--uh--began to glow. That meant they were enchanted. He asked me what they did and I demonstated and he said they were 'glasses of true seeing.' The dwarven magic-users of old made them to read books written in other languages and-- Tas stopped.And? Tanis pursued.And--uh--magic spellbooks. Tas's voice was a whisper.And what else did Raistlin say?That if I touched his spellbooks or even looked at them sideways, he'd turn me into a cricket and s-swallow m-me whole, Tasselhoff stammered. He looked up at Tanis with his wide eyed. I belived him, too.Tanis shook his head. Trust Raistlin to come up with a threat awful enough to quensh the curiosity of a kender.
