Some spoilers for my novels.
For Empyreal Calamities:
Ilys has done a few scary things and everyone is becoming a little scared for (and of) her. She slaughtered an entire bandit camp by accident after hearing their plans for her siblings who'd been captured. Her magic went haywire, to put it mildly.
Dolion has also had some scary moments too. One involves him seemingly being killed by Sal (his and Ilys' older brother), but he's somehow still alive despite his neck being snapped...
For The Weak Dwarven Prince:
In the first arc, when the characters are kids, Ignacia is about to be thrown off a cliff by an assassin and uses levitation magic in a last-ditch attempt to keep him from killing her friends...but she hasn't mastered that kind of magic yet. Here's her line from that scene...
āSorryā¦I donāt know levitation magic well enough to make a whole person float.ā
