That's right, you remember now! You are Aki the Kitsune, soon-to-be Illusionist-Diplomancer.
You change into your best kimono and head downstairs from your bedchamber, when you fall victim to a fairy ambush.
Fairy: "Aki! You're finally up! I'm so excited for you! You're finally done being a mere apprentice and ready to be a full mage! It took you long enough, but now you're done! Yay Aki! Yaaay!"
Aki: "Yes, Mistress Glimmerwing, I am ready for anything the world can throw at me!"
Fairy: "Great! Now take your training spell slots, for keeps this time. They're still slotted with your practice spells, Foxfire Fakeout and Mind Drain."
Slot 1 is a three-component combo. Slot 2 has three components split up. Comboed components tend to work as one ... Ah, for example, fire=summon_slime would create a flaming slime. Fire/summon_slime would hit the target with fire, then summon a slime.
Foxfire fakeout is a combo of Foxfire=Illusion=Combo. It throws a cluster of shots, most of which are visual illusions, making it inaccurate but hard to dodge.
Mind drain is charm/communicate/life_drain. It makes the target see me as a friend for a short time, (depending on how much of a strain I put on that friendship), lets things that don't understand English understand you (one-way only, sadly), and uses some of the target's life force for healing. Somehow, that doesn't count as a strain on the magical friendship.
Fairy: Now for your final test! I have a crystal hairbrush in my dungeon. Get it back for me, 'kay?
Aki: A crystal hairbrush? Really?
Fairy: ... And I'm putting a compulsion on you to eat slimes ... Ugh, no, that's gross. You'll just have to collect every drop of defeated slimes.
Fairy: Any last questions before you get started?
