"I had said I could not... «Among Thieves»
RamingoWS15 июня 2018"I had said I could not find out who made the item, which is true. What I can do however, is try to find out how they made it. There are only so many ways to gather magic and weave it into something like this." "And how does knowing how it was made help us?" I said. Jelem opened his eyes and regarded me with the same expression he might use for a pheasant that had asked why it was being eaten. "'How' tells us which style of magic the maker used," he explained. "'How' tells us what degree of ability the maker had. 'How' tells us how much, roughly, someone is willing to spend on killing you. And 'how' tells me — maybe — how to make more of these charming little baubles ." He tapped the rope. "The magic is keyed to the runes. They ought to make it easier to unravel."
