For every enemy that crops up, Melinoë summons wraiths and ghouls to demolish them, only ever taking damage when one of Merlin's goons manages a hit on the ethereal army. Still doesn't remove the smile from her face, though. After the third time it occurs, she resorts to just keeping the ghosts present so that they may deal with the dangers whilst Tiki and she tend to the puzzles.

At some point, the Goddess asks, "I assume that you can hear me; do you intend on remaining hidden, little mage?"

The 'little' is meant to be affectionate, not demeaning.
