看看繁体中文版把Rehabilitated翻译成什么——復職……复什么职？这种“再创作”真是有点过火了。. |$ e$ u d3 c# p
5 i) y2 J. H, _, G/ ]Now a reformed character, Roper Klacks turns up in Marcuria's Magic Ghetto, running a market stall called Roper's Spells & Philtres which sells potions and magical ingredients. April Ryan is surprised and a little apprehensive at the sight of her old nemesis, but he assures her that he is now completely rehabilitated, with the help of WWWA. In fact, he is grateful to April: she defeated him so soundly that he started to reexamine his life. 4 O# ]# p! O, b+ S9 g* R

He was trapped in there for five years. 9 a" b( ]# [: Z; Q- Y

Klacks has written a book - Farewell to My Wizardin' Days - about his experiences as an evil wizard, including sections such as '10 reasons not to build a flying castle' (on p.42). However, there was a slight problem: during the printing process, a charm got caught on page 108, and whenever that page was read, the book exploded. Klacks now has the last copy in existence, de-charmed and safe for reading, which April uses to barter passage to the Dark People's Library.

In gratitude for her help in turning his life around, Klacks also gives April free alchemical merchandise from his stall, such as acid, a smoke bomb and a sleeping potion if she asks for one. However, he does tease April about a certain pamphlet that was popular in Marcuria for a while after her adventure, entitled 'April Rye-bread and the Rod of Joie'. As an aside he confesses that at one point he tried to trap a Dark Person in stone back when he was evil. We can only guess what happened, as he simply concludes: "Not the best idea I've ever had..."
