MageShhh! A magical lesson is taking place! You must be quiet! *whisper* *whisper* Like that, see? ...Do you want to buy some magical goods?

MageStudents, students! Recite along with teacher now. Abra! Cadabra! Hocus... Ack! Who are you? Yes, you! You there! How long have you been watching me? Please don't tell the headmistress I was standing in her spot. My dream is to teach magic to young, inquisitive, creative minds! One day I'll get there. Oh, by the way...did you want to buy some magical goods?

MageThank you! Is there anything else I can help you with?

MageI see. Oh, well. Never mind, then.

MageHmm? A Wizard of the [Player] rank, eh? Well, well, so you're one of us. OK, I will tell you something secret that you must not tell anyone who's not a Wizard! We sell rare, enchanting magical goods to Wizards of Master rank or higher. It's the headmistress's idea to motivate beginner spellcasters to study harder.

MageAbra! Cadabra! Hocus...er... How did the rest of the incantation go? Crocus? It WAS crocus, wasn't it? Oh...pocus, you say? ... If you don't mind, I'm trying to do some lesson prep. I don't need you butting in, thank you VERY much.

BoyI heard Headmistress Esmerelda has loads of pupils all the way out in Castele too! Do they just mail in their lessons or what?

GirlI'm so weirded out by the teacher standing behind me, I can't even focus on the lesson.

The shelves are full of magical books. The large scroll hanging on the wall is covered in mystical writing...

Magical glyphs invented by pupils. There's a glyph that makes dirty clothes always smell clean. And there's another glyph that lets you rewind time, but only for five minutes, like a magic snooze button. ...That's very down to earth.

A magical wand is stirring the potion all by itself. What could it be brewing?
