[QUOTE="Joshua Randall, post: 9557349, member: 7737"] [B]212[/B] We stride to the front of the class and explain what we learned in the manual last night: that you get everything ready and then at the moment the sun drops below the horizon, you light the brazier, add all the ingredients, and chant the "spell phrase" over and over in a monotone. Beldon asks us to demonstrate but without actually lighting the brazier here in the classroom. And we should go slowly because we have to last all night. [[I]must… resist… 15-year-old boy… joke… GAH, failed my resistance test[/I]] We nod, but don't waver in our chant and methodical addition of components to the brazier: "incense, catnip, basil, arrowroot, savory; incense, catnip, basil, arrowroot, …." Beldon scrutinizes our form and pronunciation. After half an hour, he's satisfied and says he is impressed with our preparations: our casting was "flawless"! "It remains to be seen whether he could keep that up all night without rest," [[I]oh dear[/I]] but for now Beldon calls this a success. We turn to see a sneer on Arno's face. We smirk back at him, add +1 INT (to 17) [I]and[/I] +1 CHA (to 16), mark Find Familiar in our spellbook, and go back to (16). [/QUOTE]
