A scene

In the slave market at Aram on Raamah, the enchanter Sefton had been put in chains with the rest of the captured crew. He waited until the auctioneer's attention was elsewhere, then whispered to the lock on his manacles. It sprang open with a click. He whispered to the next lock, the one on the chain that bound him to his neighbor, and it opened too. Each lock took another casting, and there were a great many locks. He worked patiently down the line, one at a time, while the bidding went on above them.
