Everything has been resolved except for the strange Platinum Amulet
from Book 7 that can't be used in this book. We could footnote 48 and
59 in this book, but would a better solution be to alter Book 7
Sections 15 and 90 from "Platinum Amulet" -> "Platinum Kazan-Oud
Amulet" or "Kazan-Oud Amulet"?
But the point is, it's never referenced again, ever. Even though it claims to help you with enduring
extreme heat, which could come in handy in two places in Book 9 (sections 48 and 59), it isn't
referenced and doesn't help you. It only works in Section 90 of Castle Death. So calling it a
Platinum Amulet, which item usually helps in enduring extreme temperatures (cf. Books 16-20), is
confusing because it doesn't help in Books 8-15. You can't even take it over into the Grand Master
series. The easiest way to "fix" this discrepancy would be to alter its name in the two places it
occurs in Book 7 to definitely disambiguate it from the proper Platinum Amulets of the later books. ;-)
