"I can't think about doing magic the second way--if I tried to imagine a world where this forest was already covered in grease, nothing would happen. Can't wrap my brain around it. But my c--other mages I know can only work the other way.
"Or maybe all this work I've got to do in my head about pushing the Fade around is really just another way of making a world that wasn't more real." He pauses, considering that from all angles, and gifts Simon's direction with an earnest smile. "I hadn't thought about it that way before. Thanks for asking, so I could."
