Kulwar Wolters, a gloved man I suspect to be a Cliothaum, can and could be anywhere. Cliothaumy’s an illegal skill, rare and hard to learn. It lets you burn memory to twist the world in certain ways. The more you use it, the less you know why. Magic never gives you anything back, there’s always a trick. Kulwar Wolters used it rarely, if at all. But his fingertips were burnt, I think. Patrick Stuart
About This Quote

The idea that magic never gives you anything back, that there is always a trick or two to be played on you, is one that runs throughout the text. The idea that magic can be twisted to your advantage is something that should be embraced. The traditional view of magic has been one of secrecy and danger. This notion should be changed. The world of magic should be opened up to everyone, not only initiates but also non-initiates.

We should embrace this new way of thinking and bring about a new world where people are not afraid of what lies beyond their own perceptions. Magic is the key to the future.
