The quote was much like "When magic one doth weave, 'tis never wise to deceive." From where does the quote come?

This may have been a reprinting of earlier lore, but a quick search (maybe 5 minutes) did not find any other references.

Thanks Wooly

Are you asking for the in-Realms source, or the real-world quote it's obviously riffing on?

"Oh, what a tangled web we weave / When first we practise to deceive" (Sir Walter Scott)
