True, but that's not my issue with this. The problem is Mookie keeps solving the problems he throws at his characters by introducing freshly minted new concepts into his universe.

It's why there's no tension whatsoever - we know that any problem can be solved by a spontaneous new spell or a new magic trinket or Klo Tark rising from the dead again or whatever.

It's why Nimmel being trapped in a white void is no issue at all, because every single DD reader knows he'll get out the instant Mookie wants him out.
