Flora opens the door to her dorm room.
Her room is not there.
Instead, there is some sort of bar.
She eeps.
"What's going on?" she asks no-one in particular.
Well, since nothing bad is happening, she will just come in to investigate.
She's a Ravenclaw. She has a right to be curious.
She comes up to the Bar and says, "Anybody there?"

"Assuming I can, yes."
She's still not lying to the lie detector.

"Is there anything you can think of that I'm not thinking of?"

"Probably a lot of things, but I'm not confident that you'd be less dangerous with partial advice or that you'd take complete advice."
"If the advice is honest and well-meaning, I'll probably take it. I mostly meant about more questions."

"Do I think things through, is my definition of 'harming people' any good, will I interact badly with the system of coins in some way for other reasons."
"Do you think things through? What is your definition of 'harming people'? How, to the best of your knowledge, will you interact with the system of coins?"

"I do; I don't have an exact wording but something along the lines of non-consensual interference in their personal space or their minds or reasonless persecution of them in other ways; and I'm going to rid myself and others of the negative side effects of magic in my world and go from there."
She thinks for a while. "I think it's probably safe," concludes Flora. "Here, a safed hexagon." She gives it over. ...If she's wrong, she has an outside-approvable confirmation window wish on the ready. And she just wished for a defence against coins.
"Yeah."
"Pinch yourself a bit, and move the pain from left to right, it should make sense now."

Pinch...
"Huh, neat," says Cayra, looking at her glowing leaf-green triangle.
"Huh, neat," says Cayra, looking at her glowing leaf-green triangle.
"They're named after their shapes: you've got a triangle, which is tiny; next one's a square, it does conjuring and vanishing; pentagon, magical items and skills; hexagon, minting and superpowers. It hurts a lot and it's messy to make the bigger ones, so we installed high pain tolerance and a hurting yourself power," explains Flora.
"Did you mean that your magic can do that, or what?"
"I was just confused. And curious. But mostly confused about what you meant. I won't wish for your magic, check me under lie detection if you want to."

"I don't have lie detection already set up, and I'm not going to make a pocketful of coins right here while you're staring at me."
"I'll go back down, then. Follow me whenever."
She goes downstairs.
"Cayra passed the interview. There was lie detection. What did I miss?" she asks.

Cayra comes down soon after.
"Not much," says Leekath. "Just chatting with Bar."

Flora says, "Did fixing the unlearnable-without-craziness-magic work, Cayra? I'm just curious and sad for people not being able to learn magic without mental effects. I'm not gonna wish it, lie detect me."
Amy is listening to music she got from Bar, with headphones on.
