In the early morning, the screeching sound of chalk sliding across the board echoed through the classroom.
Esther began her lecture the moment she stepped onto the podium.
The class was eerily silent, every student's eyes fixed on a peculiar, complex geometrical structure drawn on the board.
It was a massive magic formula, one Esther had drawn in a matter of minutes.
Finishing the last line, Esther set down the chalk, then turned to face the curious gazes directed at her.
Parting her lips, she began.
"A magic spell requires two main things to cast: the first being the incantation, and the second, the magic formula.
There is no need to draw the magic formula every time we cast a spell. Instead, all we need to do is visualize it."
She gestured toward the board.
"The one I've drawn here is a simple Wind Breeze spell. It's one of the most basic spells, not because it is easy to cast, but because it is easy to remember the formula."
