Résumé
Three people are standing in the lecture hall as you burst in, ten minutes late. The man's half-frown just manages the transition to a half-smile as he turns toward you.
"Ah, our first candidate in Arithmancy!" he says brightly. "I'm Morkan. The other members of your examining committee today are Teraboz" (the older woman nods in your direction) "and Berzia" (the younger woman gives you a tidy grin).
Fumbling in his robes, Morkan produces some pieces of paper. "Here are your number sheet, task page, and spell list," he says, handing them to you.
"Good luck!" he adds. Then he speaks an incantation while waving his arms in a complicated pattern. You feel yourself being translated.
As you fade out of the lecture hall, you hear Teraboz mutter, "That's our first candidate in Arithmancy? Great. Just great."
