Lan Wangji is well aware of this ability of Magnus', although it has by now been nearly a year since he himself felt its effects. He also, admittedly, felt a certain clean and uncomplicated enjoyment that day, the sense of having fulfilled his purpose, once he was assured that everyone who needed to find safety had been brought to it. "It was good," he agrees, "for me, too. But Magnus found it troubling." Naturally, this is a colossal understatement. "I told him that if he no longer wanted to fight, I would do it for him." It is a little frustrating, now, to look back on that -- he only wanted to give Magnus permission to rest, and permission to seek a more suitable path. He never intended to make part of himself inaccessible.
