** Alberico has one early on, when he dodges a projectile that would otherwise have killed him by ''disintegrating himself'' and then reforming after it's passed through the spot he occupied. The act leaves him with [[CastFromHitPoints several permanent health problems,]] but it's still the most spectacular feat of magic we see in the book, something that the narration also acknowledges. Especially impressive seeing as Alberico is frequently noted to be a less powerful sorcerer than Brandin.
