Sometimes I think it would be easier to write using dolls to visually represent the scene...
I worked my way out of the small magical rule difficulty, and found myself needing to thread.
What did that mean for chapter 28? Two-thirds of the way through and I had to stop to edit a previous chapter to include the crucial evidence. However, this also fixes a plot hole, and nobody likes those.
Three plot points left to hit, and then one more edit before chapter 28 is off to the next stage.
