That's right, or specifically that's his 'greater magic', as Greg
Socially, Nandans are males who adopt the female, Ernalda life-path,
(I think it was, or perhaps Robin?) put it, his lesser magic being
to 'allow' a man to lie with another man, as if he were a woman.
(No tittering in the back of the class, small boys!)
to a high degree, just how high being a function in some way of their
magical commitment, I would think. Pretty much completely, if they've
actually 'mothered' a child, IMO.

Sadly, what I have to report is mainly 'word of mouth', at conventions
and the like. Doubtless he'll be appearing in some form or other
in the forthcoming Orlanthi stuff.
