Book of Counted Shadows
And when the three boxes of Orden are put into play, the snake vine shall grow...
-Wizard's First Rule page 84 Paperback

Verification of the truth of the words of the Book of Counted Shadows, if spoken by another, rather than read by the one who commands the boxes, can only be insured by the use of a Confessor...

Under Heading: Shedding the Covers
The covering on the boxes may be removed by anyone with the knowledge, not only the one who had put them in play.

Page seventeen, third paragraph down the page
If not, however, in the hours of darkness, but in the hours of the sun, the covering may be removed from the second box in the following manner. Hold the box where the sun would touch it if they were not present, but face the west. Turn the box that the small end with the blue stone may face the quadrant with the sun. The yellow stone is to face up. With the second finger of the right hand on the yellow stone in the center of the top, place the first finger of the let hand on the blue stone on the side facing away, the thumb of the left hand on the ruby stone of the side closest. Clear your mind of all thought , and in its place, put nothing but the image of white with a square of black in its center. Pull the two hands apart, taking the covering away with them.

Once so arranged Orden is at the ready to be commanded.
Where on shadow is insufficient to gain the power to sustain the life of the player, and three more than can be tolerated by all life, the balance is struck by opening the box with two shadows; one shadow for yourself, and one for the world that would be yours to command by the power of Orden. One world under on command is marked by the box with two shadows. Open it to gain your reward. Rule as you have chosen.

What Richard left out when reading Darken Rahl the book:
Be cautioned. The effect of the box three is fluid. It shifts with the intent. To be Master of all so you may help others, shift one box to the right. To be Master of all, so all will do your bidding, shift one box to the left. Rule as you have chosen.
