Confessor pg 118-163

Kahlan watched the first game Richard played. At first, the crowd and the other team mocked Richard's team for the red paint, but when the game began Kahlan realized how deadly Richard truly was. His team used tactics which seemed to be mistakes, but had shocking results. Richard scored with the bror even when it was not his team's turn and by the end of the first round his team had 3 (5 counting the points not counted) and the other had 0. The other team tried to shift to brutalizing his team as revenge, but then Richard retaliated proving to them that trying to kill his team would only led to their deaths. He forced them to play under his rules or to face death. Jagang had to move on because of new information from the Sisters before the game finished, but Richard's victory was going to be definite.
Nicci woke up from the battle with Six due to Zed's healing. She expected to die, and was confused in how Zed was able to fight her power. Zed explained the witch women draw power from the spells you cast, so you have to use low power spells to combat them of face the effects of  your own spell. There is also a problem with the Keep. Due to magic failing it's barriers are falling and the walls are bleeding. It needs to be shut down with magic to be preserved. Nicci also figured out why a sterile field must be used in the reversal of Chainfire. Kahlan's emotions have to be led by her experience, so Richard cannot tell her his relationship to her until he completes fixes the spell.
Zed makes a wonderful point of interest when talking about how to combat a witch women. Sometimes you want to fight things we your full force but reason before action works the best. Sometimes the weakness of your enemy is not your strongest force, but a clever use of a small force.
