You know, that's an interesting point. I wonder how much real erosion of surface features on these ring rocks does actually occur via this process vs. just coating everything.
Probably not much, but it's definitely a factor in play. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.
