[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 5156126, member: 11520"] She examines you more closely now, casting a detection spell to see the magic upon you.[COLOR="Purple"] "Yes, I see the mark of his magic, though it has changed. His power has become darker, colder even than it was before. His talents were mostly illusion before, but I see now he has a raw energy that was lacking before. He has become even more dangerous than when I knew him."[/COLOR] She rises and goes over to the animal pen and selects a small goat.
