If you think I haven't already come up with a vast array of worst case scenarios, you underestimate my imagination.

[She'll figure out some way around as many of them as she can, because Tris is capable of much worse than a single death.]

We could always stop playing instead, since you don't like to.

NOT THE WAY THE MAGIC WORKS. OR I WORK! IF I DON'T TAKE A PROPORTIONATE FEE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE DEAL - A LOSS FOR A GAIN - THE SCALES WILL JUST BALANCE THEMSELVES ALONG THE PATH OF LEAST RESISTANCE. SORT OF LIKE YOUR LIGHTNING!

HMM, LET'S SEE.

I CONTRACTED WITH THIS LITTLE, ANGRY HUMAN ONCE WHO WANTED ME TO HELP RUIN HIS RIVAL'S BUSINESS BY FINDING OUT THE COMBINATION TO A SAFE. SIMPLE STUFF! ONLY I DIDN'T GET TO THE CODE FAST ENOUGH, AND MY CLIENT BACKED OUT AT THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE. NO FAITH!

THE DEAL BROKE. FRANKLY, I HAD NO SYMPATHY FOR THE KID. THE BACKLASH OF CONTRACTING A KNOWLEDGE SPIRIT OF MY LEVEL TO REVEAL A SECRET AND RUIN A COMPANY - AND THEN LETTING GO OF THE SPELL BEFORE IT COULD COME FULL-CIRCLE - MEANT THAT A SERIES OF "COINCIDENCES" AIRED HIS DIRTY LAUNDRY, AND PUT HIM OUT OF BUSINESS WITHIN A WEEK. SECRETS FOR SECRETS, RUIN FOR RUIN. GET IT?
