I really like Sizemore's character development here, to me it shows he is 'young' in erfworld terms. Janis being a Grand Abbey, Wanda a Master-Class Croakamancer, Jack the Master-Class Foolmancer. He is the only one they do not give a direct title or higher regard. Maggie I am not so sure about I doubt she could obtain Master status since we have not 'seen her' actively leveling.

Naivity has its draw backs, and now they are being expounded upon by how one was directly involved in the events that CHANGE erf for better/worse. Janis saying that things need to be broken. Sounds something similar to what is going on around us today.
