The walls themselves seemed to shiver in place and the air took on a deathly cold that would steal away the breath of those who were unprepared. The portraits of past rulers shifted briefly into malevolent, insane things that shook and expanded their frames, their screaming faces would surely terrify a man to death had they seen it. The Hunter saw his prey, not in a mortal sense for Insight was a great and powerful tool with a price. He could see the fate of the assassin as he ran, heading out of the castle and into the streets of the capitol.\\

->Once you reach a certain level of fluency as a spellcaster, you will begin to manipulate reality freely. Not all of you — [[SadistTeacher Dale, I think you in particular are unlikely to cross that Rubicon]]. But for some of you, spells will one day come very easily, almost automatically, with very little in the way of conscious effort. When the change comes, I ask only that you know it for what it is, and be aware. For the true wizard there is no very clear line between what lies inside the mind and what lies outside it. If you desire something, [[ThePowerOfCreation it will become substance]]. If you despise it, [[PersonOfMassDestruction you will see it destroyed]]. A master magician is not much different from [[ManChild a child]] or [[PsychopathicManchild a madman]] in that respect. It takes a very clear head and a very strong will to operate once you are in that place. And you will find out very quickly whether or not you have that clarity and that strength.

->In Observatory Road, I see a flowering vine burst from the pavement and dance like a snake. Among the dazed, blank-faced spectators, two small children are laughing and clapping in delight; [[GooGooGodlike perhaps they're choosing this event]]. The petals of the white blossoms form into [[ButterflyOfTransformation luminous butterflies]], which flutter away above the heads of the crowd, but the flowers remain intact, instantly renewed. ''Which is most likely; an eigenstate actually containing this feat - or one in which every witness is merely hallucinating?'' I cling to this distinction, stubbornly - though I don't know how much longer it can last.
