"Sure, crash course in sorcerer politics. The really important thing to remember is that sorcerers aren't like magic. You can't get anywhere by pushing them around or expecting them to yield or anything, they are powers in their own right. Similarly, you can't let them push you around, either, or they will never stop. So... Imagine that instead of an all powerful sorceress, you're a country. You can do whatever you like in your own territory, but you aren't allowed to dictate what happens in another country's territory without upsetting them and possibly provoking a conflict. And neither will they with yours. Sorcerers are generally more peaceful than countries, and you don't have the bureaucratic tape or anything, and you're only dealing with the one person, but the principle is similar."
