Someone brought up the point that Rinaldo could have walked Corwin's
pattern and then destroyed it.  First of all, to walk Corwin's pattern
supposedly requires being of Corwin's blood (ie his descendant), in
which catagory only Merlin falls.  Second, how could he destroy Corwin's
pattern?  That involves either convincing Corwin to destroy himself in
the center of it, or using Merlin's blood, which we know wasn't done
(unless he gave blood at college and the blood bank was robbed...:-)
