- Quentin Coldwater: [about Charlie] I think trying to drown people seems a little violent.
- Alice Quinn: He may not have even known what he was doing. I mean, spirits, they can get confused.
- Quentin Coldwater: Okay, then how do we talk to him without him trying to drown us?
- Alice Quinn: I don't know. But first thing's first. I found a spell - well, five actually, but they all have their own down side. Like, we don't know how Charlie died exactly and the moon is in the wrong spot right now.
- Quentin Coldwater: Look, I know you don't trust her, but maybe Margo could...
- Alice Quinn: Or there's a Maori spell. I'd have to cut off a finger, but that might be preferable.
- Quentin Coldwater: To talking to Margo?
- Dean Fogg: Being a magician has always been, in part, about accruing power. Power over yourself, the elements. Power over the future, the very world that exists around you But power, as you all know, does not come cheaply.
- Quentin Coldwater: What's your discipline?
- Alice Quinn: Phosphoromancy. I bend light.
- [Makes her hand disappear]
- Quentin Coldwater: Holy shit!
- Alice Quinn: There are much cooler areas.
- Quentin Coldwater: Are you kidding me? You have light bending power. I'm a nothing-mancer. I'm a squat-mancer.
- Emily Greenstreet: Do you know what a Niffin is?
- Margo Hanson: No.
- Alice Quinn: Yes.
- Emily Greenstreet: It's when too much runs through you. Consumes you. Only the magic is left, but you're not you anymore. You're lost.
- Eliot Waugh: Hedge witches. Amateurs. Magical D-leaguers. Sad and desperate people. Once one of 'em offered to blow me for a spell. It was barely worth it.
- Pete: [to Julia] Never gets old, does it? Having a secret. You have magic. They don't. Better than money. Better than sex. Well, I guess that one depends.
- Quentin Coldwater: I don't know what you're doing here, Jules. You're better than this.
- Julia Wicker: You say that like I had a choice.
- Quentin Coldwater: Of course you have a choice.
- Julia Wicker: No, because guess what? Magic wasn't just handed to me.
- Prof. Pearl Sunderland: I made the mistake of thinking you were just psychic, but it it's more complicated.
- Dean Fogg: You are a Traveller.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: A what now?
- Prof. Pearl Sunderland: The rarest and most difficult Discipline. Travellers can, with a little bit of training, go anywhere on Earth instantly just as you did. But you can, with a great deal of training, actually move between worlds.
- William 'Penny' Adiyodi: Go to other worlds?
- Prof. Pearl Sunderland: Yes.
- Dean Fogg: If the gift does not kill you first.
