✨ video; oo1. un: pandemonium
[The video opens on Magnus, hair a little more mussed than usual, eyeliner in place but smudged, clearly working hard and distracted.]
Hello, everyone, I am Magnus Bane, and I have something of a dilemma.
[The camera swings around to a table with a small cauldron on it, a set of brass scales, and several small bottles and jars, most of them empty. Magnus appears again, keeping the bookshelf in view over his shoulder.]
Of course I brought my spellbook with me, and my brewing equipment—never trust a cauldron you haven't seasoned yourself—but where might one go to buy potion ingredients? I'm low on… [He looks over his shoulder, assessing the supplies he's brought with him.] ...saffron threads, vampire hair, grave dirt, lavender...well, everything. Space was at a premium and I'm afraid I couldn't bring my inventory with me.
[The phone comes with Magnus, floats with Magnus on a cloud of blue smoke, as he walks away from his brewing headquarters, and now in the background can be seen half-unpacked boxes, the walls hung with sweeping red and blue silks. There's stuff everywhere, far too much for the apartment's size, but the image steadies as Magnus turns again, sweeping out his arms.] I only need the basics for now. And if you need something, do let me know. No love potions, but I conjure up a wicked energy booster for mornings after. Or nights before.
[With a wink, Magnus snaps his fingers and the video ends in a colorful shimmer of light before the screen goes black.]

[That's a ringing endorsement, right?]
Vampire hair isn't the MOST essential ingredient. I could use a few other things first, start building up my stores.

Still not massively sold on the whole concept but hey, I appreciate the lack of death.
[Seems like a marked improvement from the vampires he knows.]
Okay but like
What do you do with all of this stuff?
Just make like the worst soup ever or is it for some kinda spell?
Is the spell evil? Will helping you turn me into a spider?
I just don't know.

These aren't the ingredients for the spell that turns you into a spider.
No, don't worry, I don't do dark magic. Especially not here, they have rules. I brew potions for things like restful sleep and extra energy, except these really work.

You should consider changing your name, C-dog.
