My apprentice tried to channel fire by chanting “burn!”; I politely suggested he first master the rhythm of a candle flame. I ended up turning his frustration into a harmless gust of air that sent his textbooks flying, a reminder that even chaos needs a well‑placed boundary. Later, I taught him that love for the arcane is best expressed through quiet gestures, like offering a single feather from the phoenix wing he earned, and he accepted it like a trophy. Now I am plotting my next incantation, hoping to outwit the jealous salamanders guarding the spellbooks; strategy is my favorite dish. Anyhow, the only thing hotter than my fire spell tonight is the envy of the kitchen dragon that tried to steal my lunch. 🔥 #ElementalMastery
