Yes you wake the next day

Your usual alarm goes off and you get up still with a headache but much less then the night before, confused on what caused it you would have to consult the papers tonight regardless you get dress eat breakfast and head to work. You arrive like usual and for most the day nothing interesting happens but all you can think about was yesterdays incident. Then the moment of truth arrived and you coworker walks in to start her shift and as she walks up to you your just waiting for the jokes to begin but amazingly she just ignores you and moves on. Your out of the woods on this one and thankful you found that chest, even if it was the one which caused the problem in the beginning.

You finish your shift and race home to learn everything you can since you are new a believer but wonder how far it can go i mean erasing peoples memories is one thing but there must be more it can do. Once home you race down open the chest and spend the new few hours learning the different spells and rituals, their powers and limitation. You realise that people have natural resistances to different mind magic and that you have your own limitation due to mental strength and capacity which would explain passing out earlier. You commit to memory the spell of corruption and grab one of the magic items as it recommends that inexperienced persons only cary 1 item at a time for safety reasons. So with the spell of corruption and the coin of luck you head back upstairs
