Ponder sensed that efforts seemed to be combined against him, and as much as he liked experimenting with the universe, he wasn't about to blow anything up, "Excuse me, but if anyone has an idea how magic might be able to fix this, it's certainly me. If you want to use an explosive, the point that was earlier made surely shows that it would be pointless, because the park does repair itself. That door, if clearly unopenable by all the forces orginally mentioned, must be sealed by magic, and therefore, must only be unlockable by magic. If nothing else, if I can't undo it, I certainly might be able to get inside of the magic of the park a little further and understand it a little better, which might just help us get out of here a little faster."

Ponder breathed in indignantly, but decided he wasn't really finished, either, "And for your information, sorry, I missed your name, but the man who made some innuendo about wand polishing, I am perfectly capable of judging what magic might be a applicable and how to apply it. I am a qualified wizard of the Unseen University, who specialises in the fabric of universes, so if you want me to go and 'polish my wand'" which, by the way, was a staff, and definately did not have a knob on the end, "I suggest you learn a little about magic before debunking it. I do not pour scorn upon your scientific methods, even if they may include explosions."

It was mainly in answer to The Master, and Ponder didn't often get angry, but if he sensed magic being insulted by anyone who wasn't a wizard, it annoyed him a little, especially if it involved people thinking they were better than him.
