Magic School of Thot

((I already used a Mandrake here, a small rooty version. I mean, if you want to have miscomms with the other students of what a Mandrake should look like, heh.))

Lilith sighed as she caught a glance of Dawn coming in. There was always the one newcomer that thought themselves better than their peers and she just so happens to room with her...well, if Dawn ever decides to sleep in the same room. Though from the few times Lilith did talk with her, Dawn simply grew up with a different perspective. In fact, Dawn thought she had three personal magics until it was pointed out that it was only one Personal Magic explored more thoroughly. Still, Lilith can't argue that Dawn is gifted since meshing two kinds of monster wood into a workable wand, especially by her hands, is not that common.

Dawn, Lilith, Mae and Sabrina into the outside where a wizard was tending to a pen. "Greetings, students. Welcome to Creature Care. You'll learn how to work with and against certain creatures, whether for self-defense or for ingredients, or at times as a familiar. Today, we'll start with the Bun Bun."

The teacher pulled out a ball of fuzz with ears. "Despite how round it looks, it does have hands and feet. They may look harmless, but you'll have to be careful as they are versatile creatures."

The teacher laid the Bun Bun down next to a pair of boxing gloves. It somehow work the gloves and and started punching around. "When they manage to get their hands on an item they can use, it's as if they were born with it. I'm telling you this because they don't show any signs of magic but are capable of spells if they get their hands on a magical focus like your wand."

"Another thing is that this is how big a Bun Bun usually gets. One of their tactics is to hide with a Bun Bun bigger than them." The teacher pointed to a big bale of hay decorated with ears. "Sometimes, they will build an effigy. At other times, they will co-exist with a creature that resembles a Bun Bun. In the latter case, the wild Bun Buns in the forest live with giant fuzzy spiders."

"While some of you may find Bun Bun feet to be pretty charms, most non-meat harvesters will simply gather their fur. So for today, you will harvest their fur. Remember, don't let them grab anything."

D and Hannah ended up in Transfiguration, where there was a stern old witch. "Today, you will be learning about Transmutations, the art of changing one item into another. Now, some of you may be wondering why not simply create the item, which is called Conjuration. Allow me to demonstrate."

The teacher created two sets of cuffs, one from thin air and one from a length of wood. She then blasted both of them, with the one from thin air in more fragments. "Conjuration creates solid matter with magic alone, yet magic along does not have a solid structure so it can break easily. With Transmutation, you have a solid framework to work with, so even if you don't transform it fully, it will not break as easily as a conjured object."

"Now, Conjuration has it use for immediate needs, such as Conjuring Rock to bash a target, but Transmutating Wood to Rock is more useful for long term projects such as building a house. It is possible to change an item into a living creature and back, but that is a topic for another time." The teacher laid down blocks of wood in front of each pair. "You and your partner will practice transmutating these blocks of wood into steel bracelets; imagine a ring and changing the material into a smooth shiny substance."
