She isn't going to win any awards for her fabulous creative talents, but she thinks she can get her point across with the power of art anyway.
She begins drawing. It becomes apparent that her magic quill can do multiple colors: she draws a green forest with little slightly shitty lollipop trees. She then gets to drawing the important parts: nodes. She draws little black outlined circles, filled with blue scribbles.
A stick figure is added to the world. The stick figure is shown siphoning blue scribbles from the circle, and then shooting what looks to be a lightning bolt. She draws an arrow from the blue scribbles to the lightning bolt, just to make that very clear. Blue scribbles = magic.
She draws a house far away from the circle with blue scribbles, and a stick figure. The circle with blue scribbes is far away from the house. The stick figure makes a frowny face; how tragic. She draws the stick figure next to the circle with blue scribbles, little sticky arms raised above its head. Then, she crosses out the circle, and draws an arrow to a place near the house. There, she draws another circle with blue scribbles. Apparently stick figure man moved the node to a place that is more convenient.
New page. House, again. This time, though, she puts several blue scribble filled circles by the house. She draws the forest, again, and leaves it empty of blue scribble filled circles. She motions to this in an expressive sort of way. There are, in fact, no blue scribble filled circles in a place that is not near the drawn house.
And then she draws a circle in the forest. ... It does not get filled with blue scribbles. She draws an unhappy face in the circle, instead. She motions from the unhappy face circle to the node that he's covered with a cloth, and the black circles on the map. These are the same.
Blue arrows are drawn from the forest into the unhappy circle. She draws an arrow to another part of the paper, and redraws the unhappy circle, and the blue arrows. The trees she redraws, but without their leaves. Instead she leaves empty branches. She does not color the ground green, she colors it brown. She points to this, and then motions expressively around them. That did this.
She goes to the part of the paper that has multiple circles. She draws the blue arrows, siphoning out of several of the circles and into the one in the center. She draws black arrows from the outer circle to the inner circle, and then an arrow to the last blank space on the paper. She draws the circle - much bigger this time. She scribbles it with blue... And then she draws a black smiley face with angry eyebrows overtop it. She motions from angry eyebrow circle to the red circles on her map. These are the same.
She draws blue arrows towards the angry eyebrow circle. She redraws the house, but tipped to its side and its roof unattached, and draws a black arrow from it to the angry eyebrow circle. Apparently the angry eyebrow circle eats houses. The artist declines to draw illustrative stick figures, but if her guest is paying attention, he can probably guess what happened. Lots of people died, probably.
New paper. She draws an unhappy circle. Next to it, she draws a stick figure that has orange hair (and silently is glad that she has such a distinguishing feature), and gives the stick figure a scribbly blue shield. She taps the potion she's still occasionally sipping, and the points at the blue shield. She draws blue arrows from the blue shield to the unhappy circle. But, instead she gives her little stick figure self a smiley face. Obviously, stick figure her is fine.
Stick figure her gets a thing that looks like a potion! She draws blue scribbles from it, and then little blue arrows from it towards the unhappy circle. She draws a black arrow from the circle to another part of the page, and draws the circle again, this time with blue scribbles in it. Then, her stick figure self is drawn again, stick arms above her head and with a smiley face. Obviously this thing is the ideal. She motions from this to the black dots with X's on the map.
Then, she gestures to the node nearby. We need to do this to that.
