– The wizard Fadran, “The Fell Tower” Act IV, Scene 3 Tallen twisted his head in frantic search for another exit from the doctor’s office. A dozen bookshelves lined the walls, as well as a tall, standing mirror. He looked behind it first, seeing only bare plaster. Then his hands flew to the bookshelves, ripping away dozens of volumes, desperate to find a hidden latch or handle. “Maddi!” he called again heedless of anything but his search. “I’m not that easy, young man.” Before Tallen could turn to see the speaker, a blast of Air crashed into him, knocking his body across the doctor’s desk. Pain lanced up his side, forcing his breath from his lungs. He felt another attack coming and threw up a shield of Earth. It held against the lash of power. Fighting a twinge of pain in his hip, he twisted to see Marten’s secretary, free of the web he had set around her. She threw two more lashes of Air at him, but he needed only to shift a portion of his power into the shield to deflect them.
