Oi, Headmaster! Talking about blot and fighting ghosts have nothing to do with each other!
|
Crowley

|
Grim, take a good look at the magic crystal around your neck.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Ffgna!? There are some weird blotches on my crystal!? I can't wipe them off with my paw!
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
There should be black smudges that look like drops of ink on the crystal.
Those are the blots created from using magic.
|
Deuce

If I look close, there's small smudges on my magical pen as well...!
|
Grim
Grim
|
Blegh, it's so dirty!
|
Choice 1: Will it go back to normal?
|
Choice 2: Is there a way to clean them?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Why yes.
|
Grim
Grim
|
I'm relieved! Pew.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
With enough rest, the blots will vanish in a matter of time.
Magical crystals don't only help with performing spells, but they also prevent blots from accumulating directly within the caster.
They are truly a wonderful item that can shoulder your burdens.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
I see. So you mean that if our crystals start to darken, we need to properly rest.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
That's right. Eat well, sleep well, and normal blots will disappear on their own.
|
Grim
Grim
|
How 'bout that!!
Then when I become the greatest wizard ever, I can fire off spells like "bang! bang!" with no problem!
I always eat my fill and sleep like a rock.

Crowley
Crowley
|
The amount of mana a person has varies from person to person, but
aside from very special cases, the difference doesn't really affect the maximum blot a person can tolerate.
|
Grim
Grim
|
What does that mean?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
That means, people like Mr. Rosehearts, who have a lot of mana,
have to be exceedingly careful about how much blot they are accumulating.
|
Ace
Ace
|
If you aren't paying attention and just keep using a bunch of magic,
you're gonna get covered in blot.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Well, with the amount of mana all of you possess, I don't think there's any danger of that.
Isn't that great!
|
Ace
Ace
|
That line of yours doesn't bring me joy! Like, at all!
|
Grim
Grim
|
If you use too much magic and your crystal becomes completely black
you'll go into "evil berserker mode" like Riddle?
That huge evil spirit thing was super scary.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
The amount of blot a person accumulates is greatly influenced by their mental state.
Anger, sorrow, fear, confusion... Being swathed in negative energy makes blot all the easier to build up,
and overblot occurs much more easily as well.
|
Deuce
Deuce
|
Negative energy...
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
The giant shadow that appeared behind Mr. Rosehearts when he was rampaging.
They say that appears as the incarnation of negative energy fused with blot; however...
The details aren't understood at this time.
There is still so much we don't know about overblot. Due in part to there being very few cases of it happening.
|
Ace
Ace
|
Who would want more cases of that!? I certainly don't.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
It is truly fortunate that Mr. Rosehearts was brought back to his senses. If he hadn't...
AHHHH! DON'T WANT TO EVEN IMAGINE! IT'S TOO AWFUL!
|
Grim
Grim
|
Waahah! Don't yell like that, you scared the crap outta me!
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Ahem. Apologies, I lost myself there for a moment.
This became long winded, but I hope you understand that using magic comes with certain dangers.
You'd do well to never forget that.
|
All
|
Yes.
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
That brings your special lesson with your gracious headmaster to a close! Please return to your classroom.
|
Choice 1: By the way, about a way to get me home...?
|
Choice 2: Headmaster, are you forgetting something important?
|
Crowley
Crowley
|
Ah, aaaahhh. A way to send you back to your world.
Of course I'm looking for one. I haven't forgotten or anything. But I've been so busy lately.
|
Grim
Grim
|
Your eyes are all over the place.

Crowley
|
I-I'm not lying. Getting ready for the Inter-Dorm Magical Shift Tournament in October has had me swamped.
There's a meeting with all the dorm heads after this too...

Magical Shift Tournament?
