The magical extravaganza by the illusionists was truly a spectacle to behold. As the curtains rose and the lights dimmed, the audience was transported into a world of mystery and wonder. The illusionists captivated the crowd with their mind-boggling tricks and breathtaking stunts. One of the highlights of the show was when a seemingly ordinary box was placed on stage. Without any explanation, the magician stepped inside and closed the lid. Moments later, when the box was reopened, the magician had disappeared completely.
So we’re getting a little more info on precisely what separates regular magic from Antari magic, particularly in how words use magic to bind. So for your average person in Red London, using incantations is a way to focus. Antari commands are genuine commands. There are scrying tables, which allow people to see what you’ve seen. Fantasy narratives love this particular device, though they’re often a little different in terms of function, like the Pensieve in Dumbledore’s office and Galadriel’s mirror. So obviously that’s going to come into play at some point.
In addition, the people who live in White London have a very clear hierarchy in terms of weakness if you have more scars it s an indication that you re trying to bind more magic to yourself. Though he reckons it would make him feel less alone, he knows that people don t like to know things they cannot use or experience for themselves, so he leaves it be.
Moments later, when the box was reopened, the magician had disappeared completely. The audience gasped in astonishment, trying to comprehend the impossible feat they had just witnessed. Another memorable moment was when a volunteer from the audience was invited on stage to participate in a levitation act.
A Gathering of Shadows - (Shades of Magic) by V E Schwab (Paperback)
Four months have passed since the shadow stone fell into Kell's possession. Four months since his path crossed with Delilah Bard. Four months since Rhy was wounded and the Dane twins fell, and the stone was cast with Holland's dying body through the rift, and into Black London.
In many ways, things have almost returned to normal, though Rhy is more sober, and Kell is now plagued by his guilt. Restless, and having given up smuggling, Kell is visited by dreams of ominous magical events, waking only to think of Lila, who disappeared from the docks like she always meant to do. As Red London finalizes preparations for the Element Games--an extravagant international competition of magic, meant to entertain and keep healthy the ties between neighboring countries--a certain pirate ship draws closer, carrying old friends back into port.
But while Red London is caught up in the pageantry and thrills of the Games, another London is coming back to life, and those who were thought to be forever gone have returned. After all, a shadow that was gone in the night reappears in the morning, and so it seems Black London has risen again--and so to keep magic's balance, another London must fall.
