Work on technique. +DILIGENCE

"Eric, what do you think?" Nadia asks. "You up for some practice tonight?"

"Um, I'd be happy to," you say. "I could use some time getting the basic moves down for Enchantments. I don't want any more surprises in class."

"Oh, good, I could use a review myself," Nadia says. "Let's find a practice room."

A Prefect directs you to a magical practice room. Modest magical damping usually prevents fumbled spells from getting away, and Beavertail always has someone on duty with a Suppression spell primed. You've heard the other Houses are not so diligent on this point.

Your practice room shows signs of use. Though Beavertail's watchword is keeping things tidy, you can see dribbles of wax and bits of salt, ash, and chalk. You busy yourself cleaning up while Nadia sets up the tools and spell formulae on the worktable.

Nadia goes through a set of exercises, getting more confident as she proceeds.

"Now it's your turn, Eric," Nadia says. "Start with this one."

Roll +DILIGENCE (+2) to practice your basic technique.
On a 10+, gain +1 XP and +1 Forward.
On a 7-9, gain +1 XP and and choose one:

• You fumble during tomorrow's Enchantments class. Someone loses their clothes, maybe you. If it's you take a CONSEQUENCE; if someone else GET OUT OF TROUBLE.
• You mix things up and get embarrassed in front of Nadia. Take a CONSEQUENCE from your confusion and embarrassment. You may ENCOUNTER Ms. Sterling after class to help sort things out.

On a Miss, your attention wanders. Describe how Nadia is cross with you (but no game-mechanic consequence).
