The Wise Man's Fear/Awesome

• Kvothe calling down the lightning. His use of the bandit's body as a sympathy link, however, is High Octane Nightmare Fuel.
  • Making a nerdy joke that, in his own words, only a University student would understand just makes it better.
• Devi gets one by totally trashing Kvothe in a duel of sympathy. Considering how easy Kvothe has always had it so far, it was nice to see him meet his match once in a while, especially since he totally deserved it.

Kvothe: Devi is the one person I think maybe might possibly be almost my equal.
Devi: Your equal? I took you apart. You were my little sympathetic hand puppet.

• Kvothe and the Lethani tree. Oh yeah.
• Chronicler hitting Bast twice and then taunting him that anything he does in turn will have already been predicted by the Cthaeh and will end in ruin, so he can shake Bast out of his fear of the Cthaeh's omnipotence.
