Empowered by the dip, the gang of misfits at Mr. Lee's try to get more spells.
[Samuel's mind roll: 3-1+1]
Samuel isn't terribly lucky on that front, though. There's the same drilling sensation in his head, the same shrill voice and the same feeling of diminished self-worth as he realizes that what he's got is but another kernel when he could be harvesting great gobs of massively excellent magic. It feels a bit nicer when he's stoned, though, he'll give it that. The drill feels less blunt, at least.
1. Animate Cookies
Sweet, huh? With spells like these, soon you will be the awesomest wizard around! Believe it!
[Clair's mind roll: 2+1+1]
Clair, when she opens up the mag, has a much more pleasant experience. The alien place, the spell place - it loves her, she can tell. And she... sorta likes it, she guesses? It's very chill there, that's for sure. With the dip, she's having a good trip here. She even gets two lights rather than just one this time around, which makes her feel accomplished, relatively happy and also quite appreciated by the powers that be, whatever those might be.
1. Enlarge Mop
2. Render Cabbage Undetectable
You are back. This is acceptable. Take one spell of these two, practice, return. Use the dip again before returning, preferably. It quickens the process.
, now definitely the most experienced magician in the room, takes another chip, dips it and samples it. The effect of the dip intensifies - John can now see both colors and smells! Mr. Lee looks pretty dang fragrant, John must say. But that doesn't matter right now. What matters is more magic.
[John's mind roll: 4+1]
The dip helps a lot, clearly - he can feel the singing spheres better, and smell and see their song as well as hear it. Very valuable properties in a hunter - they help predict the spheres' paths, and let him get three spheres altogether! This is totally rad is what he would be trying to say here if he did not realize that, like a merciful fisherman, he must let at least some of these spells go.
1. Aura of Damp Vinegar
2. Disintegrate Mop
3. Attract Sausages
You're doing better at this than I would've thought, what with the... uh... yeah. Forget it. Good spells, all of them! Pick one right away. Drop one of the old ones, too.
As the stoned mages get their business going, Mr. Lee pipes up again.
"Now, not to interrupt you kids while you're magicking and whatnot, but, when you're ready and willing, maybe we could talk about something you all could do with these newfound powers of yours? I wouldn't like to turn you loose without a little guidance, you know. It'd be irresponsible."Pawn shop team, I am now accepting suggestions for Cheesecake's next course of action from you if you have any ideas. If Cheesecake fails to turn up, I'll roll with whatever you guys can come up with.
