Effects
Effects of warren magic are large-scale blasts, personal enhancement, item manipulation, and travel through the physical Warren across great distances in a short period of time. Only a minority of humans can access Warrens, usually tapping and working with a single one, though the High Mage Quick Ben can access seven at any single time out of his repertoire of twelve, and non-humans can access up to twelve as well (although not usually at once). An example of personal enhancements is when Quick Ben in Memories of Ice used Serc, the warren of the sky, to fly and D'riss, the warren of Stone, to walk through a wall. An example of item manipulation is Mappo Runt's pack which is larger on the inside than it is on the outside. Certain Elder races have access to racial Warrens, that seem to be significantly more powerful and cannot be completely blocked by the magic-deadening ore otataral, though may be weakened.

Famous quotes containing the word effects:
“I am fearful that the paper system ... will ruin the state. Its demoralizing effects are already seen and spoken of everywhere ... I therefore protest against receiving any of that trash.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Upon the whole, necessity is something, that exists in the mind, not in objects; nor is it possible for us ever to form the most distant idea of it, consider’d as a quality in bodies. Either we have no idea of necessity, or necessity is nothing but that determination of thought to pass from cause to effects and effects to causes, according to their experienc’d union.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“Some of the greatest and most lasting effects of genuine oratory have gone forth from secluded lecture desks into the hearts of quiet groups of students.”
