You REALLY need to be careful when performing rituals. And, well, pride cometh before a fall...

Dialogue:

I really think you should get one of the professors to look this ritual over before you try it. This is way beyond my understanding and...

I know its beyond your understanding! That's why I'm in the top 5% of the class and you are middle of the pack at best!

I just don't think I'm qualified to make sure this is safe.

The only thing you're qualified to do is stand there and watch my brilliance! And coincidentally, that's all I need you to do!

It took me ages to translate that ancient tome in the back of the library and to properly engrave this ritual circle. And when I succeed in boosting my mana capacity, I will cement my position in this school for generations!

I don't know....

Just keep your mouth shut and your eyes open! You're only here to witness my accomplishment, not interfere

Ahhhhhh! It's working! I can feel power pouring into me! Warmth growing in my chest!

Ah... That's not the only thing growing... You sure you got the ritual right?

Wha... What?? This isn't right! Turn it off!

Turn it off? How? I don't even recognize half the schema you're using here! And you never bothered to explain any of it to me! No way I'm interfering in a ritual I don't understand!

Besides, I'm just here to witness, not interfere, remember?

What the hell??? What has this thing done to me?!!

I don't know. But I'm pretty sure its time to call in one of the professors.

God damn it! This was supposed to be my crowning achievement!

Well, that's another thing I'm sure of...

What?

This is definitely going to be remembered for generations!
