People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.”

    Helen Harper
    “The Dean stared at me as if I had just sprouted purple horns with yellow polka dots.  ‘You mean you don’t even...’ His voice trailed off, and he rolled his eyes.  ‘Kinesis, Divination, Protection, Evocation and Illusion.’
    ‘Ah, I see.’  I nodded sagely.
    ‘You have no idea what any of those actually are, do you?’
    ‘Kinesis is moving things around, I guess.  Protection will be warding, I imagine, and learning how to kick the shit out of nasty things.’
    The Dean winced.  ‘Language, please.’
    ‘Oh, sorry.  Learning how to utilise one’s alchemical hocus-pocus in order to suppress and extirpate the existence of any objectionable entity that threatens either to subjugate or generally cause botheration.’  I crossed my legs and leaned back again.”

    Excerpt From: Helen Harper. “The Blood Destiny series.” iBooks.”
