"Handy."

"Well, it kind of has to work that way, at least for dragons, they shift all the time."

"Well, I wouldn't have been too surprised if dragon magic forced them to be in a single shape for the entirety of pregnancy," he shrugs. "It was in the realm of possibility—although your mum did not raise that as an objection to shifting so not that likely."

"Raise it as an objection when?"

"I asked her if she could demonstrate some dragon magic—Kaylo demonstrated some yesterday and I want to see what it looks like when another dragon does it, especially a different colour group dragon—it's also why I asked you."

"My sister's egg was laid awhile ago."

"—right of course it was."

"She'll hatch pretty soon."

"Yeah, your mum's told me. Oh, by the way, do you know any other dragons than her and the two at school who might be wiling to be stared at while they do various dragon things?"

"I mean, there's the rest of my dragon family but otherwise not really."

"Oh, well."

Potions?

Potions! Here is a witch shop. There are potions in it, everything from headache cures to shampoo.

...he kinda wants one of each but he knows he shouldn't so he gets... four. Four is good. Yes? Very varied four.

Headache potion, shampoo, flavor enhancer, water purifier?

Works!

Korulen buys them for him.

And then back to school, Korulen presumably has more classes.

She does!

So he returns to his room and squints at the flavour enhancer, that's definitely the one he cares about the least. He pokes the magic veeeeeery geeeeently, ready to pull away in case any angry reservoirs or anything want to murder him for it.

This magic seems pretty mellow.

Okay... and can he drain it from the potion into himself?

If he doesn't want the potion to work anymore.

He is perfectly fine with this outcome!

Shlorp.

This potion and all the other potions from the same batch are now nonfunctional and he has some mana!

...oh dear.

Erm. At least it was just a flavour enhancer. Still, he thinks he'll start looking into being a witch after lunch.
