Chapter VI: A Spell-Slinging Rock
----------------------------------------
“Spells?! Ah yes, of course, I remember there being spells. Hmm, I probably should have asked Mr. Blue Box about those options before picking…”
You may select three novice-level spells and two beginner-level spells.
Novice spell selection: Generate water, heal minor wounds, identify magic, identify poisons, flame, light, mend, purify, and resist.
“Oh without a doubt heal wounds, but the rest just looks like a total crap shoot. What do you think Flappers?”
“Caw-caw!”
“Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I’m picking whatever will keep hungry loons from eating me, so dazzle and lights sounds good.”
You may select two beginner-level spells.
Beginner-level spells: pacify animals, charm animal, heal light wounds, identify life, identify simple traps, endure climate, snag, berry delight, hide, long jump, stride, empowered fang, empowered stone, hidden mist, pass, scorch, shill, commune with animals, and nature’s ally.
“Man, that’s a lot to pick from. You know what, we’re going to pick commune with animals just so I can ask Flappers what I should pick for my second spell.”
“Food! Food!” cried out Flappers.
“Why is everyone hungry around here? Anyways, Flappers, what should I pick for my second beginner spell?”
“Hungry Me’s!”

“Alright, you’re no help. I guess this decision should be made by me anyway. What’s empowered fang?”
A single companion or summoned creature gains extra damage with their natural weapon.
“Well that would be good for Flappers, but not so much for me. I think something with more roundedness would be better for me. Tell me about hide.
Hide prevents creatures from seeing you.
“Okay, anyone could have guessed that. Surely you have more information on it than that?”
Additional information is unbeknownst.
“Mr. Blue Box is holding out on me I see. What else are you hiding from me?!”
“Poo I dids!”
“That’s wonderful Flappers, just please don’t do that on me. Now, what about hidden mist?”
Hidden mist produces a fog around you.
“Hm, that sounds like it would help me from being eaten, but at the same time, it seems out of place here in the mountains. Next.”
Pass allows the user to leave no tracks behind.
“You know what, I think that I may want something more offensive now that I’m thinking about it.”
Scorch produces a flame that may be thrown.
“Okay, okay, I pick scorch!”
“Fire! Fire!”
“Yes Flappers, fire is great. Now let's find something to eat-”
*Whoosh*
“I was going to ask that you not pick me up with your mouth! You always cover me in drool!”
“Hungry I am’s!”
“Same, now find us something that we can both eat, but don’t rush. I don’t wish to be eaten myself you know? I’m starting to get PTSD from it.”
“Food! Food!”
A bird and her rock continued to soar through the air near a mountain’s base, high above the pine trees, in search of a meal. The skies were crystal clear, with not a cloud in sight for miles and no predators in sight either. This alleviated Flappers and allowed her to scourer the ground with keen eyes.
“Greenie I founds!”
“Greens? Like you found vegetables? I never really liked eating my veggies as a kid…”
“Meat is greenie!”
“Flappers, we’re going to have to work on that communication. Just take us down there and show me.”
