	==~~Conceptual~~ Issues==		==Potential Origin Issues==
	~~{{questionably-canon}}~~		Strahd's Baneful Attractor faces a number of potential issues regarding its origins given in the [[2nd Edition]] [[source]]s. First is the issue of [[wild magic]]. Hornung's Baneful Deflector a [[wild magic]] spell<ref name="ToM p. 21">[[Tome of Magic (2E)]] p. 21</ref>, and normally only [[wild mage]]s can learn wild magic spells<ref>ToM 2E p. 4</ref>.
