The powers available to sorcerers like Shool might be controlled by others (силы, доступные колдунам вроде Шула, возможно, управляются другими /силами/). The nature of time could be tampered with (/они/ могли бы вмешиваться в /саму/ природу времени; to temper with — вмешиваться в; портить). The circling planes could be halted in their course, perhaps reversed (вращающиеся плоскости могли бы быть остановлены в своем движении, возможно, /даже/ повернуты в противоположном направлении; course — курс, направление; течение). The events of the past year could be changed, perhaps eradicated completely (события последнего года могли бы быть изменены, может быть, совсем стерты; to eradicate — вырвать с корнем, уничтожить). Corum proposed to live and, in living, to learn (Корум решил жить и, живя, учиться; to propose — предлагать; намереваться). And if he learned enough, perhaps he would gain sufficient power to fulfil his ambitions (а если он научится достаточно = многому, возможно, он сможет скопить достаточно сил, чтобы добиться своих целей; to fulfil one`s ambition — добиться своей цели, выполнить замысел) and restore a world to the Vadhagh and the Vadhagh to the world (и вернуть мир вадагам, а вадагов — в этот мир). It would be just, he thought (это было бы справедливо, подумал он).

The boat was of beaten metal on which were many raised and asymmetrical designs (лодка была /сделана/ из кованого металла, на котором располагались многочисленные рельефные асимметричные рисунки; design — чертеж, рисунок, узор). It gave off a faint glow which offered Corum both heat and light during the nights, for the sailing was long (она испускала слабое свечение, которое давало Коруму и тепло, и свет по ночам, так как плавание было длительным; glow — свет, свечение, отблеск; to offer — предлагать; давать). Its single mast bore a single square sail of samite smeared with a strange substance (ее единственная мачта несла единственный квадратный парус из парчи, покрытой странным веществом; to bear; to smear — cмазывать, намазывать) that also shone and turned, without Corum's guidance, to catch any wind (которое тоже светилось и /заставляло парус/ поворачиваться, без управления Корума, чтобы уловить ветер). Corum sat in the boat wrapped in his scarlet robe (Корум сидел в лодке, закутанный в свой алый плащ), his wargear laid beside him (его оружие лежало рядом с ним; gear — принадлежности, снаряжение), his silver helm upon his head (с серебряным шлемом на голове), his double byrnie covering him from throat to knee (двойная кольчуга покрывала его от горла до коленей). From time to time he would hold up his lodestone by its string (время от времени он поднимал за шнурок /кусок/ магнитной руды). The stone was shaped like an arrow and the head pointed always north (камень был в форме стрелы, наконечник которой всегда указывал на север).
