however much she might aspire to working magic, realized it was unlawful to

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Verses 1889-1896 by Rudyard Kipling: Awash with sodden deals,
We've slipped from Valparaiso
With the Norther at our heels:

To the dread Agulhas roll.

We sailed where none have sailed,
And saw the land-lights burning
