Andrew,

The fact that the wizard that created the rings of ley used tighmaevril
has has nothing to do with whether he knew Ghoingwnnwd or not.
Tighmaevril is a silver alloy, that once created can be melted down and
reformed into another object while keeping it's charcteristics. But the
question I have is, whether of not an elf conjurer, could call on the
spirit of Ghoingwnnwd, and recieve the information needed to create
Tighmaevril. Due the fact that he disappeared before he could tell
anyone the secret of his studies.
