All magic comes with a price. 

Darien and Lucy tackle more magic in Eragon chapter 20, “Magic is the Simplest Thing.” 

Talking points include the rules of magic, hard versus soft magic systems, spoilers versus genre tropes, elf lore, Dragon Rider lore, and the danger of discovering one’s true name. 

Sparks of Inspiration

• Darien romanticizes growing up and finding magic in the mundane with Fionna and Cake
• Lucy breaks the rules and shouts out Eragon and Back Again (It’s important to inspire yourself)
