Magical Theory & Practice, Tuesday, Period 7
Yennefer swanned into today's class a fashionable five minutes late, which would have been more tolerable had she shown up last week at all. "Apologies for my absence last week," she said, not sounding particularly apologetic. "I had a minor...situation to attend to. I do hope you got my email." They all knew how to check email, right?
Honestly, she wasn't sure the email had sent. She wasn't so much with the whole technology thing, and also she'd been trying to keep her working from exploding and taking the apartment building with it at the time. Attempt number 357 to restore her fertility: a resounding failure.
"Well. This is Magical Theory & Practice, and I am Yennefer of Vengerburg. Since you are in my workshop, I assume you either have magic or want to learn about magic, but I have learned that not everyone's magic works the same as it does in my world, so we will begin with introductions, and each of you will please tell me what you understand of how magic works for you. For example, in my world magic is a matter of controlling and directing chaos. It is also a matter of exchange. That is, the energy for magic must come from somewhere, whether that be a plant, an animal, or the mage's own innate store of energy. My own teacher believed in teaching this lesson the hard way, and allowed one of my fellow students to wither her own arm to levitate a stone. It did get the point across, but please don't do that on my watch. I'm not much of a healer. Now you," she said, pointing to someone at random.
