"No other spell I've tested within these walls have caused such an uproar, much less hurt somebody to any extent. I apologize. I will accept any punishment you see fit." Avery knew something like this was more than enough to get him to lose his position, but there weren't any other mages within Areth as powerful as he, so he figured any punishment wouldn't be as severe as that.
