From serious incidents ([[spoiler:being shot in the head by sniper Fritri Waxkin]]) to minor ones (pratfalling when Fullian Fishk steals his sword, which Frossengellet was leaning on at the time).
* {{Dumb is Good}}: Baube Lud is very dumb. Therefore, despite the mocking of his fellow troopers and his failed attempts at romance, it never occurs to him to be anything but fundamentally good-natured and good at his job. ''Very'' good.

-->--General Jerima Precklesdough, ''Felsic Current''
''Felsic Current'' is an English-language fantasy novel written by French Canadian J-F Bibeau and published in 2010 by the author's company ''Diplodocus Design.''
The setting of the story is a completely fictional world where five major countries live a fragile harmony. The main plot revolves around a mystical location called ''Mandlev Tower,'' whose shocking secrets and ancestral relevance ends up changing the course of this land's history.
The citizens of certain countries have access to a power called ''Current,'' in which a user affects the elements around him or herself through a series of full-body gestures. As such, it is often mistaken by foreigners as a "magic dance," earning Current-users the derogatory slang "diva."
The discovery of ''Mandlev Tower's'' secret occurs as a result of several subplots across the countries of the world. The book's early chapters introduce many seemingly unrelated sets of characters whose paths eventually intertwine and end up converging into one climactic culture clash at the site of the tower. The result is one ever-growing cast that keeps readers on their toes.
''Felsic Current's'' sequel, ''Felsic Tension'', is scheduled for release in the Spring of 2011.
