Awesome / Sourcery

• The young sourcerer Coin creates a gigantic thaumaturgical tower out of pure condensed magic and doesn't even break a sweat, then he goes on to capture the gods inside a magical marble, all with a single gesture.
• Rincewind's utter fury when the wizards abandon the tower after Coin gets locked in a deadly battle with his father inside the staff. Rincewind suggests helping Coin, but the wizards refuse. So Rincewind races forward, grabs the staff out of Coin's hands and survives.
• Rincewind gets in on the act. A sock, some sand... and he knocks out a Thing From Beyond The Veil O' Time. When faced by seemingly every denizen of the Dungeon Dimensions all bearing down on him at once... he turns and runs. And outruns them.
  • He tries the same thing with the sourcerer Coin who, just before, trapped the gods in a glass ball without even breathing hard.
    "It sort of kills people but leaves buildings standing."
  • Earlier, Rincewind gets a cut on the side of his head from a thrown knife and faints at the sight of his own blood. Later, he get whacked across the head with a sentient staff made of metal, which very likely may have caused an even greater injury, and simply gets back up and keeps fighting. Wow. Maybe he only faints at the sight of blood and is alright otherwise or it could be a subtly awesome form of Character Development.
• Coin finally Calling the Old Man Out.
  "I realise that I was wrong."
  Good.
  "I did not throw you far enough!"
  • Followed immediately afterwards by Death catching up with Ipslore and ending his madness. Made even more satisfying considering that Death was blackmailed into letting Ipslore get away with his scheme at the start.
  Death: Ipslore the Red, I have you now.
• The wizards decide they're going to burn all the books in the library, so they sneak in at night, it's dark, one of them lights one match, and "the Librarian dropped on him like the descent of Man". Also a funny moment because of the superb phrasing.
  • To reiterate, the wizards by this point have been empowered to the point that Ankh-Morpork is their plaything and they stand unchallenged by even the Gods of the Discworld themselves. The Librarian, a mostly-normal orangutan beyond not being affected by Things Man Was Not Meant to Know, kicks their arses and scares the shit out of them. He then goes on to do the same to the same Sourcerer that effortlessly froze the gods, and not only gets away with it but scares said Reality Warper out of converting him back.
• You have to give points to the Archchancellor's Hat (possessing Abrim) for easily obliterating even sourcery-empowered wizards.
