Lana greeted them all at Portalocity with a huge smile and a huge crate. "Since you all seem to have no problem with heights, we're going to extremes today, so rather than have you all purchase ridiculous amounts of Earth equipment, I've brought some from home. I hope you all wore comfortable shirts and trousers to go under it, as I ~~handwavily~~ suggested."

She opened the crate and started passing out hooded jumpsuits of a dirty white colour with straps to secure them everywhere. Everyone also got a face mask equipped with breathing apparatus and comm unit. "These will keep us warm and alive and let us communicate more easily." She put on her own to demonstrate how it worked for those of the students who hadn't been to Hoth before. When they were all done, she nodded to the gnomes, and their portal opened up. Lana stepped through.

"Welcome to the highest location on Earth, Mount Everest. It's almost 9,000 meters above sea level, and is normally only accessible by experienced climbers with a lot of specialized equipment and a month or two to spare. And quite a few of them still die," she noted. "So please be careful. But it is a spectacular view, isn't it?"

"We don't really call it magic," Charlie said, "But I guess it is. Here at least. I don't know much about the Force, but charming is really handy for pretty much anything."

"Using the Force is channeling the energy in all things," Lana explained. "You have to keep it up, though. Well," she amended, "if you throw somebody with the Force, they'll keep going without more, of course. But if I brought up lightning, it would die out when I stopped concentrating on it."

"Interesting," Charlie said. "Charms usually last as long as they stay sketched. Charming by song or music, well, I usually use that to add a little extra oomph, or for something quick."

"It's so fascinating, the different forms things take," Lana said, smiling. "It makes me want to study it all."

Because she was a nerd at heart.

"I'm happy to help," Charlie said, yes, cheerfully.
