Quotes 

• Princess Melisande : May I join him father?

  Carolinus : Of all questions, I feared that the most.

  Princess Melisande : May I?

  Carolinus : That must be your decision child. Go, and you may never return to the magic realm. For even now the great dome of invisibility grows over our world to protect its sanctity for all time. And no one on the outside may enter its boundaries, save for the length of a dream, or a flash of an inspiration. But it will stay, through the years and the centuries and the ages, a part of man for all time. And whenever man needs magic, we will be here.

• Carolinus : I call on all Antiquity to give me magic enough. How does it begin? Carvic crom zohmini lava. Yes, Carvitome zohmini lavathol...

  Princess Melisande : Ahh! Father he's dropping Sir Peter!

  Bryagh : Hahaha. May a rock crush your skull.

  Carolinus : Untumblay varistone misacronis madlayunrot... Oh the blazes! Kala!

• Princess Melisande : ...Father, who are these Brothers? You've never spoken to me of them. I know you're the Green Wizard of nature's realm, but the others?

  Carolinus : My brother Solarius is the Blue Wizard, lord of the depths and the heights. His realm is outer space, the deepest oceans, the highest mountains.

  Solarius : [Carolinus's messenger, an owl, brings Solarius a scroll -- which the Blue Wizard reads]  ... My brother calls council, but why? Lunarian!

  [His dragon-companion appears, and ferries him off to Carolinus's realm of nature] 

  Carolinus : ...And my brother Lo Tae Zhao, the Golden Wizard. His realm is light and air; he is lord of transcendence, healing, and contemplation.

  Lo Tae Zhao : [Carolinus's owl brings Lo Tae Zhao a message, which he reads]  ... I expected this; it was unavoidable. Shen Zhu!

  [His dragon-companion appears, and ferries him off to the meeting called by Carolinus] 

  Carolinus : ...Finally, my brother Ommadon, the Red Wizard -- lord of the devil's domain, seducer of darkness, master of that heartless magic the world calls black.

  Ommadon : My foolish brother has just realized the inevitable. Well, I'll go; it should prove amusing. Bryagh!

  [His dragon-companion appears and ferries him off to Carolinus's meeting in the realm of nature] 

  Carolinus : ...Astride the terrible Bryagh, Ommadon rules that infernal wasteland of primordial filth which is his domain.

  Princess Melisande : But why does antiquity force you to include something so abominable?

  Carolinus : Evil is a part of all things, including our world of magic. The irony of all existence is that good would be totally impotent, without the contrast of evil.
