Riddles written out
The True Ruler of victories, Christ, Set me in the fight. Often I burn living creatures; close to the earth, I afflict countless races with distress, although I touch them not when my lord bids me fight. Sometimes I gladden the mind of many; sometimes I console from very far off those whom I make war upon; yet they feel both the hurt and the help, when over the deep tumult I better their lives once more.
Silent is my garment when I tread the earth or inhabit the dwellings or stir the waters. Sometimes my trappings and this high air raise me above the abodes of men, and the power of clouds then bears me far and wide over the people. My adornments resound loudly and make melody; they sing clearly when I am not near the flood and the earth- a traveling spirit.
Grey is my garment; adornments bright red and shining are in my raiment. I lead astray the stupid, and urge the foolish on to rash journeys; others I hinder from a useful journey. I know not at all why they, thus maddened, deprived of mind, led astray in deed, praise my crooked ways to everyone. Woe to them for their custom, when the High One brings the dearest of treasures, if the cease not from folly ere that.

And alternate answer for the last one is "Wine" .... far and away better than what is listed in my book...
