Thanks ThePrussian for highlighting these. I don't have a full account anymore, so it's difficult for me to go looking for such examples.

I realise this is pretty circular reasoning, but basically in the stuff I've written my intention was that Van Gerssdorff was influencing Will from within the book, so I wrote stuff that evidenced that Will was being influenced by Van Gerssdorff from within the book.

Actually, that's not 100% true - I wrote stuff that was oddly out of character for him so it could later be held up as evidence of how he was being influenced.

I found my notes hidden away on my computer and they identify "A Betrayal" , using Eldibria on Aizhan in the New Moons arc and Will's deteriorating relationship with Hal as specific instances with Will being influenced. And the entire point of the Not!Britney chapters was to highlight just how the libra spells make it possible to do so, and how hard it would be to spot.

But again, take all this with a pinch of salt - it's just what I was writing, there was no one else really writing the same stuff and Seuzz was not entirely happy with some of the ideas I wanted to use.
