Equalizer, Leo had said. I'd looked it up, and in the Book of Gray Stone, I found mention of it. The Equalizer contains unknown powers. It brings light to the dark and dark to the light. That's all it had said. Relatively easy concept, but I didn't know what it meant. If it was on Leo's mind, it must've been important, especially since it had had such an effect on Ryze. Could it be that the Staff of Sullivan was the Equalizer? Maybe...but what did it do?
The door to Headmistress Millington's office burst open, and Mrs. Tentorville, the librarian, stood there breathing heavily. The five mages sitting around my desk turned to stare.
"He's here," she said. "Ryze has been spotted on the shore of Eerie Island. He arrived by boat instead of magic, and a whole reliving army are at his back and some living as well. I estimate about 3,000."
