[Casting Forge] naturally would not give Elliot any guidance. He had made it all up himself.
He could casually pin the blame on its guidance when something went wrong, but now that he actually needed guidance, he could hardly go looking for Him.

"These Expedition Army troops are already in the Deep Sea. There are really only three directions they can flee."
"Up, down, or away from here to either side."
"Without a Sea Chart or guidance, any direction other than up or down is effectively the same."
"As for ascending and diving, both have their risks..."
The problem with ascending went without saying. The Ascent Curse took effect immediately, and no one could escape it.
