Various other cults get the spell, but my thinking was that given the
importance of resurrection in Orlanthi and Pelorian mythology, if it's
going to be at all "common" anywhere, it will be in those areas.

In the case of the Incan (thank you) walls? Yes, but the precision is
so great that "chip" is to greatly minimise the precision of the work.

In the case of the Giant Precision Dry Masonry, the Mysterious Ruins on
Teleos seem a nifty candidate too.
Ashley Crill:

I presume you're being facetious, but just to clarify, by dry-jointed
I mean that there are adjacent blocks of stone with _no_ mortar,
grouting, concrete, cement, evo-stick, or whatever in the joints, just
extremely closely fitted together.
Slainte,
