"I might be able to help," Savaric the wizard said, "but it's hard to generate magic underground, blocks the signal, you know."

"Ah," Savaric said, looking rather uncomfortable. After a moment he went on:

"I'm afraid I won't tell you that."
-
"All right, it's not really any harder to generate magic underground. It's just that I'm not actually all that good, and I wanted an excuse if I wasn't able to help you."
