Corrupting this woman would be trivial if she had Wisdom 10.  At Wisdom 20 it becomes a far more serious problem that you can't reliably solve just by reading somebody's mind, figuring out what parts of themselves didn't fit into their old place in the world, packing up those parts with everything else you want her to be, and telling her that the complete package is what she is and that a person like that gets to have everything she knows she wants.  Reading Merrin's mind gives the further impression that this is not just a woman with WIS 20, this is a woman with WIS 20 who was trained and conditioned by experts with far higher Wisdom than that, and that those trainers might have immunized this Merrin against such simple tactics for breaking her out of her Lawful Good conditioning.  They did an unfortunately good job of keeping her happy.

But she has enough basic information to work with now, and if at all possible should gain more time to think and plan before taking next steps.

Albe floats another wand through the illusion of darkness screening off the rest of the workshop from Merrin's sight, and summons Quasi-Elemental Void like a distortion hanging in the air.  She waves Merrin's hair through it, to verify that Void is not the particular elemental vulnerability that so many screens and fields turn out to possess.  "I would expect that if you poked a finger into this, it would feel like somebody sucking very powerfully on your finger, possibly enough to damage it - this is Void, the combination of Air and Negative, which should have already annihilated all the air inside the sphere of energy."

"With respect to the other topic of conversation, I'm starting to feel the same sense of trepidation about trying to explain the four alignments to you, that you seemed to feel about explaining to me what forces might have produced the antimagic around you."
