Defending Yourself Against Magic | Tuesday, 4th period
"No, look, I -" Bob stopped abruptly as the students began filing in, and gave the room's console a dirty look. He was not at all sold on what it had decided was a properly relaxing meditation room, but he wasn't about to argue with it in front of class. Mostly because he didn't think he was winning.
"Get comfortable," he told them all. If you could. He was just going to pace as he talked. "Now that we've had a bit of fun and games with magical influence, you should all have a better idea of how you stack up against something like that and what it feels like. The next step is learning to fight it. The best way to do that starts with knowing it's happening. Not all magical influence is as blatant as a rock yelling 'tell everybody about me!', after all."
He waved them toward the squishy pillows and light-up...whatever they were. "Most techniques to learn your own mind are fairly similar and start with meditation, so that's what we're doing today. Whenever you're ready."
He'd just wait.
