We don’t do big magic. Lucinda’s the only one. It’s too dangerous.What’s dangerous about ending a storm?Maybe nothing, maybe something. Use your imagination.Clear skies would be good. People could go outside.Use your imagination, Mandy repeated.I thought. The grass needs rain. The crops need rain.More, Mandy said.Maybe a bandit was going to rob someone, and he isn’t doing it because of the weather.That’s right. Or maybe I’d start a drought, and then I’d have to fix that because I started it. And then maybe the rain I sent would knock down a branch and smash in the roof of a house, and I’d have to fix that too.That wouldn’t be your fault. The owners should have built a stronger roof.Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe I’d cause a flood and people would be killed. That’s the problem with big magic. I only do little magic
