Quotes 

• Ommadon : I have weapons you would not dare use. Fear rules men. By summoning all the dark powers, I will infest the spirit of man so that he uses his science and logic to destroy himself. What havoc and raze. Turn brother against brother. Greed and avarice shall prevail, and those who do not hear my words shall pay the price. I'll teach man to use his machines. I'll show him what distorted science can give birth to. I'll teach him to fly like a fairy... and I'll give him the ultimate answer to all his science can ask. And the world will be free for my magic again.

  Carolinus : Stop! This must not be!

  Solarius : We want none of your dark magic.

  Ommadon : While your powers die, mine will flourish. Man will never inherent my domain. For I am making man mine. He will understand and come to desire my magic. It is inevitable. You shall see. This dark determination I swear. By this red crown. The source of all my dark power. So be it! Now and forever!

• Princess Melisande : ...Father, who are these Brothers? You've never spoken to me of them. I know you're the Green Wizard of nature's realm, but the others?

  Carolinus : My brother Solarius is the Blue Wizard, lord of the depths and the heights. His realm is outer space, the deepest oceans, the highest mountains.

  Solarius : [Carolinus's messenger, an owl, brings Solarius a scroll -- which the Blue Wizard reads]  ... My brother calls council, but why? Lunarian!

  [His dragon-companion appears, and ferries him off to Carolinus's realm of nature] 

  Carolinus : ...And my brother Lo Tae Zhao, the Golden Wizard. His realm is light and air; he is lord of transcendence, healing, and contemplation.

  Lo Tae Zhao : [Carolinus's owl brings Lo Tae Zhao a message, which he reads]  ... I expected this; it was unavoidable. Shen Zhu!

  [His dragon-companion appears, and ferries him off to the meeting called by Carolinus] 

  Carolinus : ...Finally, my brother Ommadon, the Red Wizard -- lord of the devil's domain, seducer of darkness, master of that heartless magic the world calls black.

  Ommadon : My foolish brother has just realized the inevitable. Well, I'll go; it should prove amusing. Bryagh!

  [His dragon-companion appears and ferries him off to Carolinus's meeting in the realm of nature] 

  Carolinus : ...Astride the terrible Bryagh, Ommadon rules that infernal wasteland of primordial filth which is his domain.

  Princess Melisande : But why does antiquity force you to include something so abominable?

  Carolinus : Evil is a part of all things, including our world of magic. The irony of all existence is that good would be totally impotent, without the contrast of evil.
