"I wasn't talking about you," she replied. "I was talking about that young upstart that overran your world."<br/><br/>She frowns. "I<em>can't.</em>I can't give you more than hints, or subtle clues, and hope you take them. Anything more is interfering, and that gets costly; for every one that I do, my opposition can act freely, in the same manner. Of course, it also goes the other way, but the game is making them give you valuable moves for very little, and making strong plays that they can't capitalize on, easily. I could, with a thought, grant you incredible power, beyond any mortal you've ever met... but that would let them create an opponent for you, of the same strength. Or worse. So I have to take very small actions, and grant them only very small actions, in return, and hope they are enough to accomplish my goals, or else I give them the tools to unmake, or worse, everything I did."
