Oh, right, hadn't thought about that one...
That raises a further question, though; how long would said loss of hearing last? Until the end of the song? This doesn't seem right to me, because then how would his metagift "know" to shut off the effect. If it shut off immediately, though, wouldn't it then turn on immediately (since the song's still playing) and thus apply the rest of the effects?
Thanks for the welcome; I lurked for a while on the old boards, but never actually posted anything. I do a fair amount of writing and game work (though no game writing), so DW is a particularly interesting series from that perspective. I've been reading since about chapter 9 or so, IIRC.
