Rosemary Hochschild: Vita

Quotes 

• Vita : You seek the AllStone totems? I advise you to stay away from them. Seeking them on Krypton led to the demise of many in my coven.

  Supergirl : Well, we don't really have a choice. So, how do we find them?

  Vita : Oh, if you choose to seek the totems, there are a few rules you must know. Rule one, there is a prescribed order to the totems. The courage totem is first.

  Supergirl : That must be the one Nxyly's after.

  Vita : Rule two, the totems have been concealed as artifacts, hidden over time. Three, you must activate the totem before you can wield it. To do so, you must speak the word "Cgrzyx." Four, to fully control the totem, you must submit yourself to a test of character. This trial will take a deep emotional toll. It will not be pleasant.

  Supergirl : Yeah, but we don't want to control the totems. We just wanna protect them. How did the witches in your coven start their search?

  Vita : On Krypton, we discovered that over the eons, these magical artifacts had an effect on the cultures that grew up around them.

  Lena Luthor : An artifact? That could be anything.

  Vita : Correct. The totems are formidable. May you survive your quest.

• Vita : [Lena activates her crystal hologram]  Back to this, then.

  Lena Luthor : Vita, we need your help containing the fifth-dimensional energy from the broken totem.

  Vita : [laughing]  You mean fifth-dimensional magic.

  Lena Luthor : Whatever you wanna call it. It's coming from the totem, and you have the knowledge to help me stop it.

  Vita : I'm not the only one here with access to magic. Relax, child. Your secrets are safe with me. But I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't have command over fifth-dimensional magic. However, there are powerful witches who do. Even those oblivious to their abilities. If a reluctant Earth witch was to accept her gift and harness her magic, her powers could be strong enough.

  Lena Luthor : So, you mean, she could protect herself from the courage totem and help defeat the fifth-dimensional imp?

  Vita : Depends on how powerful the witch, and how far she's willing to go.

  Lena Luthor : Magic is unreliable. There are safer alternatives like science.

  Vita : Magic tramples universal laws of science. You saw it with your own eyes. Now, where is that Coluan? Oh, I'd love another trip into a body.
