Magical Theory and Practice, Friday, Period 3
Today's workshop was being held in a classroom. There was a hot Renaissance Faire goth standing at the front of the classroom when the students arrived, and when they sat down they would notice that each of them had a flower and a rock sitting on their desk. "Good afternoon," Yennefer said to her students. "I am Yennefer of Vengerberg, and this is..." She glanced at her notes, and then looked again. "Magical Theory and Practice. Bit of a joke in the class description, I see." Or was it? "Well, we might get to that. We'll see how it goes. For now, I will tell you that while I am new to instruction, I am a sorceress trained in the school of Aretuza, and have been an advisor to the king of Aedirn for thirty years." Yep, she was older than she looked.
"Being as we all come from different realities here, I expect we also come from different magical traditions, and that sticking too closely to what I was taught might be completely useless to you, but I believe that in broad strokes much of that information continues to be true, based on the fact that I have been able to do magic since I got here, so I will teach you starting from that foundation. First, I would like to know what I am working with. Everyone will please tell me their name, so I can check them off this list, and what their experience level is with magic, and a little of how they know it to work, and then we're going to do a little exercise. Any questions so far? No? Good."

Re: Introductions!
She just couldn't help it; hers was a family-friendly franchise.
"I didn't," Amaya admitted with a resigned shrug and a shake of her head. "I guess the moose just thought he was being a bit funny, and I came anyway because I'd feel a bit bad, just not showing up, and, well, sometimes you can find useful things in unexpected places, so why not at least give it a spin?"

Re: Introductions!
It would be nice ot have a little more fuel for her fire of wanting nothing to do with any of that magic business in the first place, though.
