Ah, yes, that's an excellent metaphor. [Fayura nods.] You're exactly right.

In some ways, it's necessary to be very legalistic with webs. Say, for example, you wish to marry wealthy. You weave a web of intent to bring your dreams to you, and you only tell the web you want a handsome, wealthy husband. Eventually, the magic works and brings you a handsome, wealthy man, and you wed. And then you find out he's a monster who delights in torturing children and his wealth has been accumulated through buying and selling young orphans that no one will miss.

[Fayura isn't exactly casual as she describes this scenario, but her tone implies this isn't uncommon—and there's just as much implication that it nauseates her.]

The web did precisely what you asked it to, but you weren't specific enough in the weaving.
