“It is the custom for a master to do this for the student, but not the other way around," Yadeen said when he handed a package to Arram. "It is assumed the student needs every nit he can find, if not for now, when he has a stipend, then later, when he is on his own.”

“We are 'tribals,' Yadeen and me from the Thak heartland, and Hulak, from the grass country north of Jindazhen," she told him. "We use the magic taught by our tribes and academic magic. Book magic. The masters who sneer are too blind to realize the gods and the immortals use no books. They think tribal magic is on the same level as hedge-witchery. They will mock you and do their best to shut you out of their oh-so-learned circles if you admit to taking other magics seriously. Lindhall is all right, and your other teachers. But be careful around the likes of Chioké and Girisunika. If you want to move up in Carthak, you stay clean of the stain of tribal magic.”

They had not gone far before she asked, "Did you have help from the others?" Arram looked at her. "No, Master," he said. "They couldn't have done it anyway. They aren't very good.”
