long live my English, without a single doubt I read wound as wonder, and only after finishing the art did it dawn on me that something was off. how fortunate that, inspired by all those scarred heroes, I went ahead and slashed up this wizard’s face (a bit of Ged, a bit of Fitz, and suddenly Clegane - everything we read and watch finds its way in) it turned out rather conveniently that now there are both wonders and old wounds
