Mountain above Fire — firelight illuminating form, revealing what's already there without adding to it. Grace clarifies; it doesn't substitute for substance. "White grace — no blame." The emphasis on white (unadorned) grace is telling: decoration that conceals is a different thing entirely from presentation that reveals. The structure must be sound; the form serves what's beneath it.
