I see. "Heart's desire" indeed.
So... Atlantis managed a neutral AI? But see convergence of methods - I'd expect a hypothetical NAI to be considerably harder to build than an FAI.
(Also, nice Duane shout-out.) In what sense is Altantean Magic more like Wizardry than post-Antlantean magic, though? Just the bits about making the Holy Grail as opposed to merely operating it?
(Heh. True Magic.)
Even Riddle would wish to be happy, I think. Or rather, if he knew more, was more capable, and was more the sort of person he wants to be... he would wish to be happy and immortal. Why not, after all?
I wonder how Dumbledore turned that into a trap, though?
For that matter, if Harry is right and Aberforth has the stone... there is another way of getting it, if this one is copy. There's more than one way to see someone who's dead, after all.
Reference please? I haven't read much of Diane Duane (assuming that's the Duane).
So You Want to Be a Wizard is the name of a Duane book, the first in the Young Wizardry series.
