[ Would you look at that, it's Dr. Strange. He's dressed in his trusty blue uniform robes in an effort to look like somebody who knows what he's talking about, and the Cloak hovers in the background just over his right shoulder to add some additional authenticity. Those who were inside it recently might recognise the drawing room of a certain house, looking a little less moth-eaten than the last time it was overrun with metas, save for a couple of lingering dust sheets and the ominously dark corner where burning amber symbols sear into the black. ]

My name is Dr. Stephen Strange. I'd like to issue a reminder to those of you unfamiliar with it that magic is not a toy, or to be used lightly by those with minimal experience.

If you come across a magical artifact, relinquish it to somebody who knows what they're doing. If you notice something that might be a spell scribbled on a stall wall, do not start reading it aloud. Magic may be more accessible here than in some worlds, but that doesn't make it any safer to interact with untrained. If you don't understand it, leave it alone or speak to someone who does.

If you have questions or run into problems that you believe to be of a magical, mystical or otherwise arcane nature and you don't have a sorcerer on speed dial, you can contact me at this account.

Be safe, be sensible, and if you're interested in magic do yourself a favor and read some theory before you attempt to practice.

[ And with that, he cuts the feed. This has been a public service announcement / mild self-promotion brought to you by his endeavour to magically spring clean this accursed house. Please do magic responsibly. ]

[rehandle]

Yes, that would be me.

[whimsikills]

u'll never take me alive copper

[sunmon]

there's the lecture

[rehandle]

Believe it or not, this one's not for you. I'm fairly sure you taught yourself your own lesson much more effectively than I could.

[sunmon]

then who are you trying to teach?

[tinglesense]

just theoretically how do we keep magical artifacts from stumbling into us tho

[ LIKE A BOOK HE DIDN'T MEAN TO GET INVOLVED WITH ]

[rehandle]

That's a trickier one. It'd help to learn a few basics. Do they not cover magic at school?

[ It's not Parker - not the one he's familiar with anyway, they're already talking. Not the other one if the last comment is anything to go by. That means...

Huh. Well, what's one more? ]

Sounds like you should be more discerning.

Thanks for supporting the message.

[nepotis]

does the spell written on the wall really know the difference between reading it aloud and reading it in my head?

[rehandle]

Generally speaking, yes. Good first question, go on.

[resurrxion]

Preeeeetty sure you just guaranteed at least one asshole's gonna go around doin' every kinda magic they can.

video.

[rehandle]

Yeah, we've already got our contender. But if I get one idiot on a magic kick in exchange for ten more cautious people, it's a fair exchange.

Because you're not lmao ratio

[rehandle]

That sounds like a you problem.

[thecoolerloki]

I can't possibly imagine who this message is intended for.

[rehandle]

Actually, not you. This house is full of the remnants of spells from neighborhood kids, all of whom are just as likely to leave dangerous spellstuff scattered around elsewhere as they were to leave it here.

If recent events have taught us anything, it's that most people don't know to be cautious.

[Don't mind this guy on anon. He's got trust issues.]

Are you station out of that haunted mansion or what?
Just in case something magical comes up.
I might have a line on some black market hocus-pocus stuff. Too early to tell.

[rehandle]

Lucky me, yes I am.

[ HM. ]

What are the whispers?

@otto.octavius

[doctopoda]

Any recommended reading?
I'm not looking to become a wizard myself, but it's starting to look like it's a little irresponsible to not at least have a basic understanding.

[It's sort of just like learning about another branch of science, right? One that keeps causing various disasters in his vicinity!]

[rehandle]

A basic understanding will do you wonders. Preference for digital or physical copies? I can send you over the former, or give you a list.

[calldw]

That's right, citizens! Make sure to turn all magical artifacts over to someone who knows what they're doing! Like me!

[ He does not know what he's doing. ]

[rehandle]

[ Hmm, sounds legit... ]

Your experience in this field being?
