yearning for flight

and thinking about that makes me view this panel with a lot of interest.

because why is olruggio in this panel? if you follow the flames of the phantasmal fireball, it's traveling across the panel to custas, who is also afflicted with a silverwood. it looks like custas is burning from olruggio's fireball. you can even see the smoke billowing out from the flames as the roots go wild.

it makes sense to see olly's fireball since custas is talking about who gets to decide which magic is allowed and we see olruggio talking about why he can't sell his fireball cause it's dangerous. however, we're seeing a fireball that isn't supposed to burn people take hold of custas. it's also burning custas without causing injury though so maybe that's bc that fire is going to the silverwood? olruggio will cure custas of the silverwood just like qifrey.
