"One could scarcely call that help if all I did was collapse this pathetic illusion. You merely happened to be caught in the same spell."

"Hm?" Ushpia sneered. "Still annoyed that I easily wove a counterspell to your Theurgic Field? Shouldn't you be impartial to all participants in this selection?" 

"I am impartial," the Warden said. "I simply happen to dislike you, so it is only natural that I would cheer at the prospect of your failure."
