Cayenne You want a Unity Tree? Here?!? NO! We are Witches of Chaos; we DO NOT do this. Sound PAF! Cayenne You’d better focus on studying your “Spells of Destruction”! Pepper Destruction? At this time of year? Why not learn spells of creation instead? Cayenne The next council of The Three Moons is approaching and so are your exams. Learn! Learn! LEARN!!! AND STOP DISTRACTING YOURSELF WITH THESE FOOLISH IDEAS!!!

Sound Slam! Ffff Carrot tap Pepper Grrrrr…!!! A winter without a Unity Tree?! Never! Why don’t I make my own tree from scratch with magic?! Hey! I might even combine Hippiah and Chaosah magic together for the first time! A big green tree, lit by stars and mini solar systems! Aww! It would be perfect! And it would be creative! But there’s no way I can do this type of magic here… …my godmothers would immediately notice if I’m not studying my “Spells of Destruction”.

Pepper Unless… I think I remember… Sound Shrr Pepper Yes! In the chapter on “Spells of Destruction”, Thyme recommends trying them in a micro-dimension. But look at all these warnings: Mm… Writing “ DO NOT spend all your Rea in the creation of the micro-dimension.” Pepper Naturally. Writing “ DO NOT bring the results back, for safety reasons.” Pepper Pff… Obvious! Here it is! Writing “ DO NOT expect any assistance from outside of the micro-dimension… …no one can see what you are doing ! ” Pepper No one? Really!? That’s perfect! Let’s get to work! Sound ShiiING SCHwoomp!! Cumin Did Pepper just create a micro-dimension? Thyme Good! I hope she understood all of those warnings I wrote in that chapter about “Spells of Destruction”. Writing The KOMONAN

Pepper So cool! It’s like a container, with only the part of the library that I need. And it’s totally isolated from our own reality. It’s the perfect sandbox for testing spells. Time to focus on my masterpiece! Sound ShiiING PLOooom!! Pepper Heh. Uh, nope. Sound Dhoooff!! Pepper Ewww! Sound Chting!! Pepper Yes! It looks good, but it’s too small… Carrot ? Pepper CARROT! DON’T TOUCH IT!

Sound Plooom!! Pepper There! Re-sized it. Now it looks perfect! I don’t see any harm in bringing this tree out of this micro-dimension. It’s just a Unity Tree; It’s not like it’s a “Spell of Destruction”. Alright, it’s time to deploy this micro-dimension into reality and show them how creative The Chaos can be! I can’t wait to see the look on their faces! Sound DOooong!! Thyme Mmm… Pepper is back. Bravo, Cayenne. Your educational methods are finally giving us results. Cayenne Thank you, headmistress.

Sound BRRrrr BRRr BRRrrr BRRrrr BRRrrr BRrr Carrot ? Sound Shroof!! Carrot !! Sound BRRr BRRrrrr Carrot !! Pepper Prepare to be amazed and astounded! You’ve never seen anything quite like this. Please follow me upstairs to see…
