  > Go downwards
  Arthur slinks after you.
  
  A tiny circular room, almost a closet, that is used for astrology and meditation. The ceiling and walls are painted dark blue with gold stars mapped into intricate constellations, giving the sensation that you have been swallowed by the night sky. The door back to the Pentacle Chamber stands ajar in the western wall. In the center of the room is a bare wooden pedestal.
  
  A slender spiraling silver staircase winds up toward the domed ceiling.
  
  Encompassing the room is a faint chalk circle drawn on the floor.
  
  You can also see Arthur here.
  
  > Go west
  Arthur slinks after you.
  
  The magic practice room on the top floor of the Library Arcana. Normally it's crammed with students practicing, studying, or listening to a teacher's lecture, but tonight it is just you and your familiar Arthur, facing the disaster you have wrought.
  
  A workbench that bows under the weight of a huge cauldron stands in one corner beneath an unassuming wooden shelf and next to a battered-looking potions cabinet. A bookcase towers over the rest of the room from another corner, and faded chalk circle drawn on the floor marks the room as essentially one big conjuring circle.. Set into the eastern wall is the altar door. Set into the western wall is the door that leads downstairs to the rest of the Library Arcana.
  
  Fine, white sand spills over the floor.
  
  On the bookcase is the crystal ball's stand.
  
  A number of spell books have fallen to the floor in an accusatory heap.
  
  On the shelf are a glowing bottle (labeled with a square label) (in which is a grey potion), a bulbous bottle (labeled with a torn label) (in which is a black powder), and a crystal bottle (labeled with a round label) (in which is a pink potion).
  
  You can also see Arthur here.
  
  > consult Treatise on the dragonglass
  Looking up dragonglass in A Treatise on Alchemy, you see:
  
  A truly impermeable glass that is also as strong as steel,
  dragonglass is produced through infusing common glass with animated lightning. Dragonglass was first created as a means of holding aether for scrying. Early experiments involved creating a sphere of dragonglass through traditional glassblowing techniques with the addition of animated lightning before levitating aether into the sphere; it was difficult, however, to create a sphere of the correct size to hold the aether. The modern method is to bind aether to liquid dragonglass in a cauldron; the aether and dragonglass naturally form a sphere when magically bound.
  
  > consult the Charming on animated lightning
  Looking up animated lightning in Charming, you see:
  
  Animated lightning is static conjured in Starlight. It gained widespread fame in 1792 after Dr. Victor Frankenstein used it--along with a considerable amount of blood magic--to animate the creature who would call himself Adam.
  
  > consult Treatise on the common glass
  Looking up common glass in A Treatise on Alchemy, you see:
  
  Common glass can be produced by heating sand until melted.
  
  Arthur grooms himself.
  
  > drop the tiny candle
  Dropped.
  
  > cast Igni at the tiny candle
  A tiny spark appears on the candlewick, and within moments it is glowing steadily.
  
  Arthur stretches luxuriously.
  
  > look at the candle
  A tiny white candle--more of a tealight, really.
  
  > cast Tempesta at the sand
  "Tem--" you begin.
  
  "Stop!" Arthur interrupts, "Do you want the sand to shock the next person--or familiar--who touches it?"
  
  You reflect on it. Arthur is right.
  
  > cast Tempesta at the candle
  "Tem--" you begin.
  
  "Stop!" Arthur interrupts, "Do you want the white tealight to shock the next person--or familiar--who touches it?"
  
  You reflect on it. Arthur is right.
  
  > cast Igni at the sand
  You start to say the spell, then think better of it. Conjuring fire out in the open like this would be dangerous.
  
  > look in the cauldron
  The copper cauldron is empty.
  
  Arthur stretches luxuriously.
  
  > put the sand in cauldron
  (first taking the sand)
  the sand: Taken.
  
  You add the sand to the cauldron.
  
  > cast Igni at the cauldron
  The sand turns red as it heats and soon begins to melt together into shiny, bubbling liquid glass.
  
  > cast Tempesta at the cauldron
  "Tem--" you begin.
  
  "Stop!" Arthur interrupts, "Do you want the copper cauldron to shock the next person--or familiar--who touches it?"
  
  You reflect on it. Arthur is right.
  
  Arthur stretches luxuriously.
  
  > cast Tempesta at the liquid glass
  Lightning hits the melted glass, but it doesn't seem to change anything.
  You must not have done the set up for animated lightning correctly.
  
  > blow out the candle
  You gently blow out the white tealight, leaving it smoking.
  
  > go west
  Arthur slinks after you.

  You can also see Arthur and a white tealight (still smoking) here.

  > put the tiny candle in the circle
  (first taking the white tealight)
  
  You put the white tealight into the conjuring circle.
  
  Arthur bats at a shadow on the wall.
  
  > Cast igni at tiny
  Which do you mean, the white tealight or the square label?
  
  > cast Igni at the tiny candle
  The candlewick emits faint sparks before blazing to life.

  Arthur lazily licks a forepaw.
  
  > Cast igni at average
