Did you think you would gain a piece of its power? Is that why you brought it? [laughs] Or perhaps my words... perhaps I don't give myself enough credit. Regardless, now... it is mine! [laughs madly as he begins drawing inscriptions on the Tablet] Yes, my powerful servants, your new master is here! Let's see what remarkable feats you can perform for me, the new master of the Art!
