Quote #10
You need only wish for the stone, and you will be yourself again. If your wish is strong enough, your strings will snap and Grisini's spell will be broken. If Clara wished, she might save Parsefall; she could save him if she stole the stone herself. The curse would fall upon her. Clara shut her eyes in terror. (46.4)
Clara doesn't need a magical stone or a watch to turn herself back into a little girl—she just needs courage and the determination to save Parsefall from a horrible fate. She sacrifices herself for his sake out of love, which is stronger than any magic.
