This may have been answered elsewhere (but I couldn't find it in the forums)...
Did the priests of Helm retain their spellcasting abilities during the Time of Troubles since Helm wasn't thrown down into avatar form like the rest of the dieties?
I believe they did but I didn't pull out my material to check.
For some of us, books are as important as almost anything else on earth. What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet and excite you... Books are full of the things that you don't get in real life - wonderful, lyrical language, for instance, right off the bat. - Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird
