After each stumbling in their studies, Saybil, Hort, and Kudo resolve to learn from their mistakes and work to become better mages. Although Saybil is finally leaving his shop and learning about the world, his neglect of his spellcasting remains an issue. An unexpected crisis drives home for Saybil the powerlessness of having vast magical capacity and no ability to use to use it.
I thought it was hogwash, but if one was
 in the village, it's a different story.
ظننته كان كلاماً فارغاً، لكن إن ظهر

Creí que era mentira, pero si apareció
uno en el bosque, la cosa cambia.
On pensait à un cas isolé,

apareceu nesta vila a história é diferente.
Я думал, это пустая болтовня,
но раз тварь в деревне, всё иначе.
