Quote #10
Sabriel stood where she was, and conjured the Charter marks for light. They came easily, flowing down to her fingertips like cool water from a shower. She let them hang there for a moment, then cast them at the ceiling, drops of light that grew to the size of dinner plates and cast a steady light all down the hall. (27.62)
After Sabriel's long journey to the Old Kingdom, she's so familiar with magic that it comes naturally to her, without any effort. If she was good at magic before, now she's… well, really good at it. Here we see how much she's become accustomed to the Old Kingdom, and how much she really belongs on the supernatural side of the fence.
