True! Lyra could definitely talk Will out of his temptation, but I don't think she could do it herself. She's one of those I-want-to-see-it-but-at-the-same-time-I-DON'T types. Because she could do awesome stuff, but it'd be bad news in the end.

THAT WOULD BE...TERRIFYING. "Terrible, yes, but great," if you will.
