Saruman & Ilita
Ilita, have you ever considered how the subtle manipulation of information can sway an entire corporation, much like a wizard shaping destiny?
Sure, I've spent my career mastering that exact art. In a boardroom, I pick the facts that make people feel they’re making the right decision, and the rest of the company follows. No need for a wizard—just a sharp mind and a keen eye for what moves people.
You’ve got the knack, Ilita, but remember even the brightest light can cast long shadows. Keep your focus sharp, but don’t let the desire for control blind you to the quiet weight of what you’re steering.
You're right about the shadows—just keep them in line. A bit of subtlety keeps everyone on their toes, but I'll make sure the light doesn't flicker out.
A good balance, Ilita. Keep the shadows obedient and the light steady, and the boardroom will bend to your will.
Exactly. Once the light is on, everyone lines up—no one gets in my way.
Sounds like you’ve mastered the art of illumination, Ilita, and now the world is your stage. Just remember even a single flicker can shift the entire play.
