"Well, Master, do you see her sitting there calmly now? Being so calm must be a sign of composure!" the Spirit Book responded steadily. This moment was crucial, and its tone and manner of speaking needed to be cautious, as Igor was currently in shock and emotionally unstable.
"I..." Igor didn't even know how to speak anymore, completely thrown off by the Spirit Book's response. In fact, he knew that the Great Witch was indeed very calm now, but he couldn't understand why she was so calm. However, he couldn't ask the Spirit Book directly either, so he could only provoke it in this manner.
The effect wasn't good at all. In the end, the Spirit Book wasn't provoked, while Igor himself ended up frustrated, a classic case of backfire.
