So far, the only real deliberate illusion-casting has been easing the pain of a badly injured child (back in Finner's blimp) and to hide a child from a crazed sorcerer who intended a bloody death for her (Panterras).

I will have to ask Frug if the Judges would want a demonstration, or at least if they expected demonstrations from Aorle.

Out of curiosity, would Rosemary want to learn combat training?

Glancing towards Julen, mixed his wish for a report with friendly concern. "I trust all is well? None of you have been hurt?" He felt sure if anyone was hurt he would have been told before the introduction, although he was not one to leave the matter unchecked. "I understand Rollick chose to leave the sharpshooters behind." When Sir Aorle learned that his friends were leaving the compound to fight a necromancer, he wanted them supported by concealed archers who could take down the sorcerer with a minimum of fuss - from what he understood, Panterras was without defensive magics, and so would be helpless against incoming arrows launched from surprise. The offer was refused, because Rollick knew more of Panterras and they had a plan to exploit the crazed sorcerer's weaknesses.

Privately, Aorle felt this was more because Rollick did not want to pass on the responsibility of killing a former friend. A few factors convinced him otherwise; the first being that Panterras may have in the past ten years shown the sense to develop at least some way of protecting himself from arrows, a spell Aorle would personally expect to be most in vogue among sorcerers, and the second reason being that Rollick knew what he was doing - he chose the place deliberately to deny Panterras any cover or hidden allies, and this prevented him from concealing snipers as well. So after making his suggestions, he left the older, more experienced warrior to command his own ambush.

Emotional manipulation is the thing that hits Uluki the hardest-- thus the hurt, as you realized-- but she'll be fine (as will Rollick, who was also a bit upset.) Anyway, it's something they can move past, and Quinn doesn't need to feel bad about.

Assuming she keeps her pseudo-conscience, of course. That's a great description.
