Quote #10
Someone—a girl quietly coughing out her last breath on the floor—touched Sabriel's ankle with a light caress. A small spark of golden Charter Magic came from that dying touch, slowly swelling into Sabriel's veins, traveling upwards, warming joints, freeing muscles. (28.13)
The forces of good are at work here, with the tiniest spark of life tipping the balance so that Sabriel's efforts can save the day. This is a lovely image of something very small—a single person's touch—defeating a huge, evil force.
