I'VE SEEN THE WAY AGOTT HER DRAWS! SPELLS ARE AMAZING... «+s BECAUSE OF THE WORK SHE PUTS INTO THEM! SHE AGONIZES OVER EVERY DETAIL!

SHE CAN'T BE USING SOMEONE ELSE’S SPELLS, BECAUSE WHEN YOURE COPYING, , THERE’S NOTHIN WHAT’RE \ TO AGONIZE YOU OVER! TALKING || ` ABOUT?!
TRACE THE LINES, AND BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, YOU'RE DONE. NO PAIN OR AGONY OR RACKING YOUR BRAIN. AT LEAST, NOT WHILE YOU'RE DRAWING. IKNOW THE DANGER OF USING SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK. YOU SAID YOUR NAME’S LOROGA, THE AGONY FROM COPYING COMES LATER, AFTER YOU'RE DONE. AND IT STICKS WITH YOU. YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH IT, FOREVER AND EVER. WHEN YOU COPY, YOU DON’T HAVE TO THINK.
