A scene
The priest Cosmas carries his own most precious possession, a small silver reliquary, through the crowds of the Sea Nymph Bazaar with a prayer laid upon it like a hand on a shoulder. The pickpocket who brushes past him never stands a chance. His fingers close on the reliquary and a crack of blue-white sparks throws him onto his backside among the melons. He tries again, being a stubborn boy, and gets the same result. Cosmas helps him up, dusts him off, and gives him a copper for his trouble.
