Curious, how easily Yorda answered that question. It seemed almost too much so, actually, with the admission of fright. "Is she very powerful, then? Do you have any idea how her magic works?" Neirenn said. She had told that mystery person on the system that she would try to find out more, although she wasn't certain that it wasn't a trap of some sort.

The fact that Maleficent was a "fairy," a tall one in black robes no less, felt rather discouraging to Neirenn. She was rightly proud of her magical abilities, but she knew from experience that going up against anyone whose race was naturally magic would end badly for her. But she wasn't thinking so much of confronting her directly as trying to undermine the spell and poke holes in it.
