It took a qualified wizard to detect a summoning in progress. It required only a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it to attempt one. Before you knew it, a three-headed Slavonic god was wreaking havoc in downtown Atlanta, the skies were raining winged snakes, and SWAT was screaming for more ammo.Ilona Andrews
About This Quote
In the Blood Verse, a summoning is an action that causes a being from another world to appear in our world. In this story, the wizard got it wrong. The wizard was looking for a dead-simple summoning, but there were so many complications. The wizard said that a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it would attempt one. I think we all know who we’re most like when we’re casually and thoughtlessly using our power and abilities.
