He made the binding that short? Well. Good to know! Strange will have to keep that in account for the rest of this adventure. Thankfully, the fact that he's on the upper floor means that Solas doesn't get to see the expression of shock and confusion that flits across his face. As he grabs his book and heads back down to the cellar, Strange manages to wrangle his expression back into something more smug.

"You work on the preservation spell, I extend the length of the binding. Agreed?" Because Strange won't admit it, but this is a pretty inconvenient length for him as well.
