The eighth ambassador of the sovereign of the world-oceans, to the left of the Seeress of Freyr's forces, examines the students for their mastery over those forces, which determine the surfaces of the shapes of all things; for without the power over the surface nothing can be shaped, and without such mastery all that is happening would flow apart into all directions.
You see how the judge holds a bowl, made from precious stones, with the sign of the all-forming cosmic wisdom towards the sky.

“The judge himself, as well as those practising, rely in their activity and their judgement on the blessing of Bragi, the god of the art of speech.”

“Therefore this ambassador is also called 'Seer of Bragi's forces,' and he ensures that the fighters do not lose sight of the slightest waveform of the elements.”

“Their success depends entirely on their control over any surface, no matter how small it may be.
If the surface of even the smallest wave or ice-floe would break, its contents would immediately disperse into the infinity of space.”
