"One other thing," Sunders kept up, "you placed so much nightmare energy in this part of the section just so that you can make people fear and even respect it, am I right?"
Angor nodded rapidly.
He defined a "theme" for each section when creating the illusion, and the theme for Witch's Town was "respecting your fear", which Sunders just pointed out.
"Nice idea." Sunders approved before giving his harsh opinions, "However, YOUR fear will only work on mortals and some of the apprentices with weaker mentalities. Wizards or stronger apprentices can easily see through your trick. They might regard your work as something interesting, and that's about it. Your emotion manipulation would have worked fine, if not for this easily-deciphered illusion. This is where you failed."
