The short answer: Uncle Ben's words that, "With great power comes great responsibility."
The longer answer: The idea for the novel came from my observations about the abuse of power; and the contrast between the kind of person who is most likely to abuse their power, and the type of person least likely to do so.

Hi Ian, I'm halfway through The Exercise of Vital Powers and I'd like to ask you few questions. First I'm intrigued by Zarantar and spells names - how did you come with them? Were you looking for right sound or is there some linguistic logic to them? Also why did you think Kayden story was worth telling? PS: I enjoy the book. I can see it's unpolished in places but it's really hard to put it down :)
