Wild Magic Quotes

“Does your ma know you're this silly?" she demanded tartly.
He nodded, comically sad. "The few gray hairs she has on her head are my doing. But" — with an exaggerated change of mood — "I send her plenty of money, so she can pay to have them dyed!"
"I hope she beat you as a child," Onua grumbled.”

“If you look hard and long, you can find us. If you listen hard and long, you can hear any of us, call any of us that you wish.”

“The person who commits an action is the one responsible for it, not the people he commits the action upon.”
― Tamora Pierce (Author), Wild Magic

“Men broke into their homes, killed their families, threatened you--and you won't let them do anything for fear you'll be hurt. That's selfish. How would you like it if I took your bow and said I cared too much about you to let you fight?”
― Tamora Pierce, Wild Magic

“Before she knew it the afternoon was done, and the trainees were taking their new mounts to the stables for grooming. Daine, Onua, Buri, and Sarge helped then too, though Daine couldn't see how she could ever be comfortable telling a twenty-year-old man he was missing spots on the pony he was grooming. She did try it: "Excuse me, trainee what did you say your name was?"
Blue gray eyes twinkled at her over his cream-colored mare's back.
"I didn't. It's Farant. "
His blond hair curled thickly over his head, almost matching the pony's in color.
"Thank you. Trainee Farant, you're missing spots. "
"Not at all, sweetheart. I'm just combing too fast for you to see. " "Trainee Farant, you're missing spots!" Sarge boomed just behind Daine. She thought later she actually might have levitated at that moment certainly Farant had. Next time the assistant horsemistress tells you something, don't flirt correct it!" He moved on, and Daine pressed her hands against her burning cheeks. Farant leaned on his mare and sighed.
"Yes, Assistant Horsemistress. Right away. " He winked at her and went back to work. Daine went to Sarge as the trainees were finishing up.
"Sarge, I-" He shook his head. Daine thought if he leaned against the stable wall any harder, it would collapse. How did a human, without bear blood in him, get to be so large?
"Not your fault. These city boys see you, you're young, sweet-lookin'",he winked at her,"they're gonna try to take advantage. If they can't keep their minds on the job after I've had them two weeks already in my patty-paws, then I ain't been doing my job right. "
His grin was wolfish. "But that can be fixed. "
Seeing her open mouthed stare, he asked, "Something the matter, my lamb?" She closed her jaw.
"No, sir. I just never met nobody like you. "
"And if you're lucky, you won't again, " muttered Buri, passing by.”

“Your ma was a leech with bad teeth,” she taunted. Onua laughed in spite of herself. “Your da was a peahen. I know chickens with more brains than you!”

“Onua smiled. She knew an old grievance when she heard one. “Then why wear ’em? Get yourself breeches and a shirt like me.” Daine gaped at her. “Men’s gear? With folk talking about me all the time as is?” Onua shook her head. “You’re not home now. The rules have changed.” Daine opened her mouth to object—then closed it. She looked at her skirts. To be rid of them, and the petticoats . . . it hit her, really hit her, that she was free of Snowsdale. What could they do to her now?”

“I'm sorry, I didn't mean--"
"To speak of it?" asked the K'mir. Diane nodded. "You have to, just to bleed off the poison from the memory.”

“Boys worry just as much about their looks as girls do. We only hide it better.”

Wild magic

Wild magic is a special type of magic, different from the standard Gift, that connects its user to the natural world around them. While it is not uncommon, it is also not obvious, and few mages of power recognize it as even existing. As such, training can be difficult to come by. Numair Salmalín is the leading expert on wild magic.

It is this element of surprise and deception that makes magic tricks so intriguing to watch. Magic tricks can take many forms, from card tricks and disappearing acts to levitation and mind reading. Some tricks may be simple and easy to explain, while others may require more skill and practice to execute.

Users [ ]

Several characters have within the Tortall universe have some form of wild magic.

• Veralidane Sarrasri - Known as the Wildmage in later years, Daine is the most powerful wild magic user alive, and possibly the greatest ever. Unlike many, her wild magic is not limited to a single animal species due to her divine heritage. She can speak to, control, and even take the form of any mortal animal. She can also mindspeak with immortals who are completely animalistic, such as griffins, unicorns, and hurroks. Immortals with human parts, such as Stormwings, undine, tauros, etc., are not included. However, her magic still allows her to sense these immortals even if she can't affect them. Her wild magic also allows for magical healing of animals, and she can increase an animals intelligence to near-human levels, although she sees this more as a curse than a gift. This effect is also created by an animal spending prolonged amounts of time in her presence or by getting her blood in their system (such as with a bite).
  • Sarralyn Salmalín - Daine's daughter spent the entirety of her time in the womb and a short time after birth shapeshifting wildly, much to the distress of her parents. Eventually, her grandmother informs her at her naming ceremony that she needed to pick a form (preferably human) and gender, then stick with it for at least five years.
  • Rikash Salmalín - Daine's son and second child will have magic, but it is unknown if it is wild magic.
  • Several of the other ostlers also have varying degrees of horse magic. The palace also employs a man and his grandson in the palace mews and two sisters in the kennels, all who have wild magic.

  The Banjiku of southern Carthak and the K'miri of Sarrain are two tribes who have a particular gift in animalistic wild magic. The K'miri are commonly skilled with horses, and the Banjiku were specifically created by their goddess Lashagui with the abilitiy to bind men to animals. Tortallan sailors also have people among them known as wave-speakers who swim with and speak to dolphins.

  Humans are not the only users of wild magic however. Animals have an unknown level of control over it themselves. For example, Cloud is able to transfer energy to Daine through their shared magic. The crows of the Copper Isles are able to take human form when they wish through the use of wild magic. Both times this appeared to be an ability previously unknown to those knowledgeable about wild magic, and both times the animals smugly stated that they have secrets they keep even from Daine.

  

  Regardless of the complexity, the goal of a magician is always to entertain and astonish the audience. However, it is important to remember that magic is not real. It is simply a performance art that relies on the skill and creativity of the magician. While some may try to claim supernatural powers, it is always a trick or illusion at play. The true magic lies in the ability of the magician to create an experience that leaves the audience in awe and wonder. In conclusion, magic is a captivating form of entertainment that uses tricks and illusions to create a sense of wonder. Magicians are skilled performers who master various techniques to deceive and surprise their audience. While magic may appear supernatural, it is important to remember that it is simply an art form and not a true supernatural power. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic show!.

  1. John - 2/5 stars - "I had high hopes for 'Magkc xuts misdiom' based on its intriguing premise, but I was sorely disappointed. The writing felt disjointed, with a lack of clear direction throughout the entire story. The characters were also one-dimensional and I found it difficult to connect with any of them. Additionally, the pacing was uneven, with moments of intense action followed by long stretches of monotony. Overall, I found 'Magkc xuts misdiom' to be a tedious and unsatisfying read."

  2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - "'Magkc xuts misdiom' was a complete waste of my time. The plot was confusing and convoluted, making it difficult to follow along and understand what was happening. The writing style was also clunky and filled with unnecessary descriptions that did nothing to enhance the story. I hoped that the characters would be a saving grace, but they were incredibly boring and lacked any depth or complexity. I cannot recommend 'Magkc xuts misdiom' to anyone who values their time and wants a coherent and engaging read."

  3. Alex - 2/5 stars - "I struggled to get through 'Magkc xuts misdiom' as it was riddled with grammatical errors and typos. The poor editing and proofreading distracted me from the actual story, making it a frustrating reading experience. Additionally, the world-building was underdeveloped, leaving me feeling disconnected from the setting. The potential for an interesting and immersive fantasy world was present, but it fell short in execution. With more attention to editing and world-building, 'Magkc xuts misdiom' could have been a more enjoyable read."
