"A spell designed to draw forth only the most honourable and righteous heroes." [He reads the line with eyes downcast, before looking to the camera. There's amusement in his eyes, and a faint quirk to his mouth.] It's quite a lofty claim, isn't it? I wonder what mettle those of us 'magicdrafted' are made of. In fact, I confess, this is quite
