| Grace | You know a lot about Elliot's spell. |
| Emissary of Magic | I can know about any spell so long as it's relevant to the task I've been given. Elliot's spell being an extremely good example of what I'm supposed to tell you met that requirement. |
| Emissary of Magic | As for shrinking for more "points", well... That's something very few would have discovered while magic was giving a helping hand. How to explain this... |
| Rhoda, with dog ears, a tail and four-fingered pawlike gloves, tries to reach a wooden bar that is above her reach. | |
| Emissary of Magic | Let's say a short friend of yours wants to reach a shelf higher than either of you, and you have size magic. Is it easier to-- |
| Grace | Does she have size magic? |
| Emissary of Magic | What? Who? |
| Grace | Her! Rhoda! |

| Grace | ArrrghI am so sure you said she did! |
| Emissary of Magic | (off-panel as Rhoda is shown) I can neigther confirm ort deny. Anyway, your short friend wants to reach a high shelf. You gave size magic. Is it easier to simply grow them... ...or to shrink yourself and grow them? |

| Grace | The second one sounds like I'm casting two spells, and should be way harder with no benefit whatsoever. But since you're asking, the second one is easier. |
| Emissary of Magic | Correct. Magic has a currence that defies the physical logic of the world. The value of attributes. |
