“Why can a Grisha possess but one amplifier? I will answer this question instead: What is infinite? The universe and the greed of men.”
Leigh Bardugo
I think magic is only interesting if it has limits and so Grisha power is governed (loosely) by the rules of molecular chemistry. The Small Science really arose from the question of what happens, on a molecular level, when you wave a wand or mutter a spell. I wanted the study of Grisha power to reflect that mix of magic and science. And I didn't just want to present a history, but a kind of long running debate among scholars, as if maybe philosophers and scientists were still trying to understand Grisha gifts. There had to be mystery in "the making at the heart of the world" and that's something that I loved exploring in King of Scars and Rule of Wolves.
