  20. ruler. If he wanted to, he could cut us off from our surroundings using the archetype of
  21. heretical science and cause the very definition of our existence to vanish into thin air. We
  22. might manage to survive, but we would become defanged cowards. And I shouldn’t have
  23. to explain what happens to a defanged and declawed beast that’s thrown out into the wild.”

  27. archetype to affect the very foundation of today’s magic side.)
