“Let's get something clear up front. I'm not Harry Dresden. Harry's a wizard. A genuine, honest-to-goodness wizard. He's Gandalf on crack and an IV of Red Bull, with a big leather coat and a .44 revolver in his pocket.

And wizards don't use magic to kill people. They use it to discover, to protect, to mend, to help. Not to destroy.”
