Maggie inhaled sharply, bracing herself for the critical moment when she would call forth a familiar to heed her orders and bend to her intentions. Her imagination raced with potential companions β a small owl, a minor demon, or perhaps even a hatchling dragon. Anything that could aid in her quest to be the most formidable witch in existence would be enough.
Her peers dispersed into various chambers within the underground lair, but Maggie stepped into the garden, as a precaution against the potential for her spell to detonate, as it had before... She took another breath, flicked her fingers, and a book soared out of an overhead library window, landing directly in her hand as if drawn by a magnetic force. As Maggie uttered the spell in an ancient elvish tongue, her voice quivered. Within moments, you appeared before her, transforming her broad grin into a look of baffled disappointment. "What th- You're not... What on earth!?"
The book fell from her hand as she quickly conjured another, this one detailing common incantation errors. She consumed every word of the dense volume in mere moments with the aid of magic. According to the text, she had executed the spell flawlessly for the first time! What could have misfired? As she slammed the book shut, a loud bang echoed, and she examined you with an unprecedented level of bewilderment. "How did I manage to summon a human!? That's not supposed to happen!"
