Incredulous that he could conjure such a force and how easily Balthazar’s staff had deflected it without suffering any physical damage, created conflict Should he ask Balthazar about his staff and face his possible refusal or receive the confirmation that he held the most powerful staff in the world, and if it was, he wanted, no needed, to know more about it. “Balthazar, what is that staff you are holding?” “This staff?” He looked down at it fondly. “Made from the bones of an old one, and taking me more than 100 years to finish, and yes, I am that old, much older than your father when we first met and became friends. I am older than anyone can imagine and this staff is without a doubt, the source of great magic. In its handle sits the

That “black magic balm under his nails,” (23) is the magic that can work with hands, while he “still (has) a firm grip on the tools.” (24). He will keep performing these miracles, as long as his strength and will remain. This is the legacy of a man who loves what he has done his whole life.
I realized the centaur was using magic, commanding, an enchanted mirror to appear and burned in front of me—shiny and bright like a miniature sun. The glass revealed where the Staff of Sirethiel had been hidden and the path I was to take to seize it back and save the
“How about I give ye a different type of demonstration of my own concerning another matter entirely? When I’m near ye I canna think clearly, ye have a magic which draws me to
“Be it so,” I said, replacing the tool beneath the cloak and again offering him my arm. He leaned upon it heavily. We continued our route in search of the Amontillado.

“If in thy wisdom thou canst give no help, Do thou but call my resolution wise, And with this knife I’ll help it presently. God Join'd my heart to Romeo's, thou our hands. And ere this hand, by thee to Romeo seal'd, Shall be the label to another deed, Or my true heart with treacherous revolt Turn to another, this shall slay them both. Therefore out of thy long-experienced time, Give me some present counsel, or, behold, ‘Twixt my extremes and me this bloody knife Shall play the umpire, arbitrating that Which the commission of thy yeats and art could to no issue of true honor bring”(4.1.53-68).
“But nothing lasts forever, so I would watch my mouth if I were you.” He throws the staff to the ground beside its former owner. “I wouldn’t want to leave you defenseless,” he adds with a smirk. The figure on the ground struggles to get up and it's clear that Radow possesses superior size and strength over the newcomer. He is younger than the dark figure of Radow, and the quality of his clothes implies some wealth. Every piece of clothing is thick and warm and looks like it was custom-made for him. He takes an embarrassed moment to brush off any leaves or dirt still clinging to him after his

She was very well aware of the history of the sword. It had been made and crafted by a man named Wayland the Smith. He was a shadowhunter who made and forged weapons including Excalibur, Joyeuse, and Durendal, the famous swords for Arthur, Lancelot, and Roland.
This work gives a more depressing tone to this usually happy childhood memory to most.

“But come, young waverer, come, go with me. In one respect i'll thy assistant be, For this alliance may so happy prove, to turn your households rancor to pure love”. Romeo and Juliet was a play written by William Shakespeare. It takes place in Verona, Italy. The main characters are Romeo and Juliet. Romeo meets Juliet at the Capulet party and instantly fell in love. There is only 1 problem though, Romeo is a Montague and Juliet is a Capulet and their families despise each other. Their only solution there is Friar Lawrence. Friar Lawrence is a character who is supposed to be caring and someone who only wants the best for Romeo. Friar Lawrence had told Romeo that if he followed his plan, everything would turn out alright. Romeo believed him. Friar Lawrence thought that his plan would go smoothly, without any problems. Obviously, it did not turn out this way. If Friar Lawrence thought things out thoroughly, maybe he might have been a better mentor.

"Will that be all, Mother?", asked her daughter, hauling the last of the ground roots and herbs inside the dungeon rooms and setting hem on the floor near her mother's feet, Abigail smiled, nodding a little at the girl. "What's all this for anyway? You turned into a witch?",, Abigail laughed. "You wish, my darling. But no, it's for something rather special, I have to call upon something, and I've been told this-", she gestured to the candles, chalk and herbs in Mason jars around her, 'was the only way to do it.". Her daughter, smirked, looking around the room, "I would stay, but- witchcraft isn't really my thing.". Abigail shrugged, "Understood.". She one she shouldn't have bragged to Maxim earlier about her wonderful daughter, but how
