#I might actually make a post like this every time I see Zorian perform a witchy behavior during my reread

Of course, he had no idea how reliable the advice in those books really was, and the librarian looked at him funny when he checked them out, but he was still pleased to have found them. If this whole thing worked out in the end he'd have to do something nice for Neolu.

Lo and behold, not only is Zorian a vicious punisher of slights but also a generous boon granter to those that help him. I swear he's the archetypal fairytale witch that rewards the protagonist for selfless behavior and punishes her selfish sister that tries to game the system for the same reward.
