31->My stomach lurched - my old flame Cillian. And then it dropped away into a black pit of dread as a withered old hag of a woman followed her out: Shadea Saverna. With Byzant gone, she was now the oldest magus in existence, an elder adept of most forms of magic and a member of the Inner Circle. She was the Arcanum's foremost expert on blood sorcery and her interrogations were a gory legend. If I was scared of Cillian spotting me, then Shadea made me want to piss myself. If either caught sight of me, I was as doomed as a lame horse in a tannery. Spirit-bound blade or not, I wouldn't stand a chance. The more powerful the magus, the stronger the Gift, and the more their minds and bodies naturally resisted foreign magics. Shadea would be able to resist any mental attack long enough to burn me to ash with a flick of a finger.

45->''"And if you're wondering why Ultimate Nag didn't fear the PTA like Ms. Forehead did, it's because Ultimate Nag is a Japanese Obachan and they simply feel no fear nor pain of death. This is why you can't make a movie or anything featuring a little old Japanese lady in mortal danger, because it just doesn't work. You could have the monster from Aliens breathing it's hot, musty breath into the Japanese obasan's face, and then it would open its ferocious-toothed mouth and the little Alien head would emerge and also breathe it's hot, slimy breath on the obasan, and she'd just slap the shit outta both of them. And then she'd take the alien's seat on the train, cause that's how they roll."''
