'''“Again, welcome to Caldwell’s Academy of Magical Talent. Everyone find a desk to sit at near the front, please. You are few students who are strong enough to make it through the Picture. You have a magic core that can make you great Wizards and even Mages in the future. Your Magic Core will be your main tool in this Academy. There are other tools that you will learn to use as well. '''

  

'''You will become interesting people who will travel this new world and explore the other land masses. A few will stay home and be part of The Academy Island. I will need a Governor and an Archives Specialist to help me with my job. There will be more jobs as more students show up. '''

  

'''Are there any questions that I may answer for anyone?” Lady Violetta Violetta asked knowing that there will be many questions floating through their heads but who will be brave enough to ask? '''

  

'''“I want to speak a bit on Magic and its uses. I want each of you to listen to this carefully. '''

  

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">Magic is a tool that can be used for good or evil or anywhere in between. The magic user must be aware of what he or she is doing and why. There are consequences to using magic. Consequences can be devastating if the magic user is not aware of all of the effects of the magic that is being used. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">The magic user is only as strong as his or her body’s endurance of the physical and mental abilities. '''

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">The magic user is only as strong as his or herself. Magic takes a lot of stamina to do and the body will be drained constantly when the person uses magic. '''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">  

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">B) Mental Strength. 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">  

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">The magic user must be able to concentrate well, visualize well and think clearly as well as quickly. To do this we need to meditate and do mental exercises to make the mind stronger. Meditation is crucial to one’s mental ability. This is the way one learns how to concentrate, block out unwanted noises, keep the mind clear of intrusions and to imagine the impossible. '''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">

<p class="MsoNormal">'''<span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">The magic user must be able not only use magic but know the 3 parts of magic. '''

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">1) What is the first part. The magic user must know and understand what he or she wants to do with his or her magic. 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">  

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">2) Next come How. The magic user must know each step of the magic well enough to actually be able to visualize the magic being done in each step until it becomes as simple and routine as breathing. 

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">  

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"; color:red">3) When is the last part. To cast magic the magic user must know when each step should take place.

One sleeve will be used for your wand and the other one will be a guide stick for your pet. Both you and your pet will be frequently hungry. You may eat in all classes except labs. The pets will be in your room during labs so that they will not get into the way. It might be dangerous for all of us if one happens to become scared for some reason.” Lady Violetta spoke as she passed out the boxes. '''

For the moment, please remove the two handprint sheets then place your hands on those two pads like the picture that was on there. Leave your hands on the pads so that the PLTs will register your unique Aura. After that is properly done, your PLTs will only allow you to enter information on it.
