My name is Onyx, and I shall be your magic teacher.

Yes, I am a cat.

And yes, I do know the secrets of the universe. (Though I will not teach you these unless you are willing to bring cheesecake into the equation.)

There are some ground rules that must be adhered to at all times. Firstly, do not pull my tail. I do not enjoy this, and I am likely to scratch you in response.

Secondly, pay attention. Because you are human, I am willing to be charitable and repeat myself every now and then, but every cat has his limit. Do not push mine.

Thirdly, the lemon cupcakes with the magic stars on top are mine. You may only take these if I am full.

If you follow my advice, you will succeed. I am always right about these things. This is because I am a cat. My intellect far surpasses that of the average human.

You will need a cauldron and an ample supply of fire quartz. Make sure the cauldron is sturdy. Some spells are more active than others. You will also do well to remember that fire quartz is not a magic stone. Many humans refer to it in this way, but it merely stores magical energy. Magic is all around us. We will release measured amounts into the cauldron by adding fire quartz.

I believe I have covered all the necessities. Once I have taken my afternoon nap, we shall begin.
