And females do some better and others worse, with the types of spells
being
consistent within gender (that is, all females do the same types of spells
better or worse and all males do the same types of spells better or

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.  I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.  Only I will remain.
