Feel free to run with that assumption.

And the first Myst linking book fell some 30 years ago, and still managed to make it to Earth. A few seconds will not have a noticable effect...

<blockquote>Another question, about Trapped AGehn. If Linking is makes a biological reaction with the skin, then how come when Atrus linked to Riven to retrieve Catherine, he could bring a linking book? Paper is made out of trees! Does someone have an explanation???</blockquote>

What establishes a link, and what can link once a link is established are two separate issues. Setting a pen on the linking panel will not cause it to link. Having it in your hand/pocket when you touch the panel will.

How's that?
