Fun with Magic | Friday, First period

The plan had been for class to meet in the Danger Shop, but the day was far too beautiful to spend it cooped up indoors - Bob had had plenty of that, thank you very much. So, class had been handwavily informed to meet on the lawn instead.

"So." Bob eyed them all critically. "Last semester I taught a class on defence against magic. Where mostly what I learned was that half of you are far too nervous around magic to do any good with it, half of you take it for granted it can do just about anything, and just about all of you - look, are you teenagers or what? Don't you ever just...cut loose?" He sighed.

"So this time, we're using magic for fun. You'll be learning what it can and can't do, and hopefully getting a bit of a more accurate picture and a bit more at ease."

He looked around them once more and nodded. "Right. I'm Hrothbert of Bainbridge. You can call me Bob or Sir, whichever you prefer. Anders is my TA for the class, so any questions you don't want to ask me, ask him. Now I know you're probably all tired of introductions by now, but I don't care. Introduce yourselves, and let me know what magic you can do, what other talents you might have, what you're familiar with, and so forth."

He picked a random student and stared at them expectantly.

"Hi! I'm Dipper Pines!" he said with a wave. "And I don't know how to do spells per se as opposed to reading something in a book and hoping I get it right."

"I'm Lottie Grote," Lottie said. She'd worn her cloak to class today, and was feeling well magical. "I don't know any magic or anything, but I did once use a ghost to defeat an evil hope-eating spirit that was makin all my friends collapse into little balls of emo. Which was a plan right out of Barry Plodder, so I think that counts."

Oh oh oh! She did love getting to introduce herself! It was just so exciting. Alluka squished her bunny tightly and said, "I'm Alluka Zoldyck! And most of my family can do things like magic! I can't though."

But Nanika could.

"I'm Kaylin Neya and fun? How can magic be fun?"

Answer the rest of the questions? How could she when that was all she could think about.

Wait, what? Ada knew she had big blank spots in her memory, but she was pretty sure magic wasn't real. Mostly.

"Ada Miller," she said, once it came round to her and it was clear she was expected to say something. "I'm a mean hand at three-card monte, or anything you'd expect to find on a carnival midway."

"I'm Anders," Anders said, with an amused little smile at having been named TA. "I can do elemental magic and healing spells."

"Electricity can be fun if you've got good control," Anders overshared.

Anders was pleased to be there, and was particularly interested in seeing who among the students he hadn't met yet had real power.

"Celia Bowen," she said with a little wave and a smile. "And I'm an illusionist -- at least, that's what we call it in my family. I can change the colors and textures of physical objects, their size, temperature -- you name it. And I can create and destroy matter through will, I'm telekinetic, I can heal myself but not others, and...." She thought for a moment, and said, "And that's about it. My father uses his talents on the stage to entertain, and I will too, after I graduate."

"I'm Blue Sargent," Blue said, "and my family are psychics. The real kind. So, tarot, scrying, that kind of thing." Also, occasional weird herbal things that took up half the fridge, but she honestly wasn't clear if those worked or not. "I'm not, though. But I do make magic stronger by being around people who can do it." So half the class might be noticing a power boost.
