Bryn:
Well, one of the things about invisibility spells is that there always has to be a flaw. It's like... a law of magic.

Cleo Bellows:
His Achilles heel.

Bryn:
Could be heel, could be anything, really.

Alex Bellows:
[watching from the study] That's just like what Thor told me. Remember, Balder couldn't be killed by anything but a mistletoe.

Cleo Bellows:
Well, what was his weakness?

Bryn:
Ah, well, Math was smart when he worked out Llew's blessing. He designed in a flaw that was a situation that would never occur. Llew could only be vulnerable if he were standing with one foot in a cauldron and the other on a deer.

Alex Bellows:
[watching from the study] Okay, that's much cooler than a mistletoe.

Bryn:
And the weapon used to kill him had to be forged on a holy day when the forging of weapons was forbidden.

Cleo Bellows:
[recalling the scene] It was all there, the cauldron, the deerskin, the spear.

Alex Bellows:
You know, these guys never learn. You make a loophole, and somebody finds it.
