damn, he really did turn into a musclehead to not think to even briefly check the thing his enemies deliberately destroyed on their way out, and he doesn't even have the excuse of not noticing it or thinking it was broken on the way in since his allies say "hey they broke this shit covered in writing on their way out". even if he's not a legendary mage any more i bet there's something in his arsenal to either piece it back together or otherwise view it in its intact form...
