Anyone bleeding approached by a random mage in the tundra would think they were going to die.

Or saved. It’s all about how you see the world and your baseline trust especially in times of crisis. Not everything is a battle for survival.

In your experience you see it as danger, but it is flawed and skewed as that is not how everyone will see a random mage in the tundra. Like this maze, you fight it and try to break it, to no avail I will note. As your experience has brought you to these conflicts and solutions. But not all situations are the same.

The sun whilst in the labyrinth is a trick, not set by me, but by the labyrinth itself. I catch myself falling for it at times. It will teleport back to the entrance. Which is why I warned you about it.
