1st Card

[thecardswilltell]

Well, now, boys and girls, it would seem you have yourselves a new Professor here.

I am Doctor Facilier, and I will be teaching you what you might call... Muggle magic. Now, don't you scoff at that. Voodoo, Tarot card reading... They're just as much magic as any wand-waving you all do, and even more so than peering into a crystal ball or tea leaves.

Voodoo is my specialty, now, but I also practice Hoodoo and read Tarot cards, and I'm not too shabby with Shamanism, if I do say so myself. And we'll be covering all that and more in class.

'Course, my class isn't for everyone. It takes a great deal of skill to master these arts, not to mention an open mind.

Now, who's up for the challenge?

MUGGLES have magic too!?

[thecardswilltell]

They certainly do, Miss Peixes. Things unlike anything else you're learning. I do hope you sign up for my class; I bet you'll find it quite interesting.

[cuddlefishpeixes]

Oh of course I will, Professor! 38D
I'm looking forward to it!

[thecardswilltell]

Glad to hear it, Miss Peixes.

[grandhighwizard]

well now.
ISN'T THAT INTERESTING?

[thecardswilltell]

Professor Rhys Rhydderch, if I'm not mistaken?

What interests you? I'd be happy to elaborate.

[kid8dik]

Muggle Magic?

[thecardswilltell]

That's right, Muggle Magic.

[that_witch_remains]

Oh, you've got to be kidding.

[thecardswilltell]

What seems to be the problem, Miss Sakura?

[that_witch_remains]

Do you even have a damn clue what your garbage makes witchcraft look like?

[kid8dik]

With all due respect, I have difficulty believing such a thing exists. Muggles, by their nature, don't have magic.

[thecardswilltell]

So folks think.

But you'd be wrong there.

[thecardswilltell]

Now, is that really how you want to make your first impression on me, Miss Sakura?

[that_witch_remains]

Ohh, yeah. I'm dead sure.

[its_cor_aline]

So..this is a class on what Muggles think is real magic? Or is it like, real magic magic? I'm Muggleborn so this topic has me totally confused since I didn't think magic exists for Muggles.

..Voodoo sounds super interesting though! I'd like to learn more about what that actually is.

[thecardswilltell]

No need to be confused, Miss Jones.

You're a muggleborn? Have you ever been in a muggle city and seen a man flipping cards to tell the future. That's called Tarot. And it's just one example. This is real magic that muggles can use.

But it's all the more powerful when someone with some magic blood uses it.

Voodoo is certainly a favorite of mine.

[thecardswilltell]

So be it.

[its_cor_aline]

yeah, there are street performers in London and there are tons of fortune tellers in America. I always thought they were either Muggle scammers or actual witches and wizards.

So..is it that someone with magic blood can take a skill that has no magic value to it and bring out the implied magic?

Count me interested! What years are allowed to take your class?

[that_witch_remains]

Yeah, yeah, made a powerful enemy. Curse on my head. Whatever.

You know, a lot of Muggles think your stuff is all magic.

[thecardswilltell]

Now, some of them are scammers, but one thing I can teach you is how to tell the difference.

And... Not quite! This is magic that even Muggles can make truly work... But it's easier and more powerful the more training and magical ability you have.

All years are welcome, Miss Jones.

[thecardswilltell]

Hardly anything like that, Miss Sakura.

[faintwaves]

...I don't know what any of those things are. Would you teach me what they are?

[its_cor_aline]

Oooh being able to tell the difference would be awesome! Count me in!

[thecardswilltell]

Happy to hear it.
