Si los ingredientes contienen realmente el poder, efectuamos un experimento de química. Quizá los verdaderos magos imponen su voluntad en el mundo sin trampas.

Sin embargo, cuando se aleja de los vanidosos y poderosos, conoce a una muchacha en un carruaje que insiste en que intercambien sus ropas, y nunca vuelve a ver a su madre ni a su hermano pequeño.
