Exactly my point.

Of course, Sethra points out she knows of no way to kill someone 
sorcerously, so it's doubtful whether the intent of Crithnak's sister's 
spell (we've *got* to come up with an abbreviation for "Crithnak's Sister" 
*) was designed to destroy Vlad's soul--and it simply backfired, or 
whether it was intended to do something else, but left her open to 
reprisal from Lady Teldra that was then capable of destroying her soul. 

To the left, Sethra didn't know about the Left Hand's special teleport 
abilities, so it is at least *possible* that they're figured out a way to 
perform a soul-destroying kill from a distance. The Left Hand seems to 
have devised some pretty powerful magics of their own, and I doubt we've 
seen the last of them.
