Kindle Notes & Highlights
It is the application of power that rules the day, not simply having power. THINK! Learn what you can, and be careful how you treat those you encounter. You never know when the actions of today will impact the outcome of tomorrow.”
The lever principle.

This was not about denying that something horrible had happened. That would have been just another form of escape. This was about accepting the realities of his life and, despite the numerous blows of fate, standing tall.
A difficult realization.
If the ratios stayed the same, it meant he had just killed four people for thirty-seven dollars. Richter wasn’t sure that his mom would be proud, but what was done, was done.
Not quite; the motivation forkilling the goblins was not to rob them -- taking their money is simply a side benefit of making the forest safer for the sprites.

After a moment of introspection and pride however, he decided he did not want to rely on anything small and blue to help his performance… at least not yet.
LOL, a Viagra joke!
‘The pen may be mightier than the sword, but in another, much more real way, it isn’t.’
But pens parry poorly!

After talking to Leandra, Richter decided to get the superb quality set of apprentice alchemy equipment. Higher ranked alchemy sets were apparently needed to make higher level potions and better quality sets created potions of increased potency. He had always believed in paying a bit more on the front end, rather than being nickeled-and-dimed to death later on.
