so, what's happening in lord and ladies when granny confronts the queen?

is it a simple ruse? it's strange at that because pratchett is usually lampshading ruses from the protagonists, so I'm lost at what happens when granny screams 'no-' and falls, right when the hive is swarming.

is it because it was getting her powers from her own hive? is it because he was all the time half borrowed in the hive to avoid being glamoured by the elves?

it's unusual to found this kind of connection unexplained in a pratchett book.

what are your opinions in regard?

Haven't read this one yet (got it, haven't got around to reading it) but remember that Granny basically never uses magic.

Witches pretty much dont do that much magic, they mostly do it on themselves. (Got I shall wear midnight?)
