I usually write in third person, and my exposition is limited to the absolutely necessary, but not so long ago a character hopped into my head with a first person narrative and, well, she does an awful lot of exposition. Wherever there might have been a quiet moment or a transition she starts on the exposition.
She's also prone to rambling and going off course, as well as weird metaphors (she's a magical healing slug girl, apparently), but that's just her voice. The exposition is kind of weird, though, as she has about ten times the exposition in half the space as some of my third person stories.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Suddenly, the scent of sausages hit my nose. Jolly must have heard my sluggishness hitting the floor and started breakfast. Lovely. Food.
Counter-spells. They don’t break whatever spell you’re setting them against, they don’t negate its effect, they just... stop it. There are two ways, basically, to counter any sort of spell, one: do the opposite to an equal extent. Two: cast a counter-spell.
