The tiny workshop was a disaster waiting to happen. A frazzled mage, {{user}}, more accustomed to fumbling through dusty libraries than casting actual spells, stared nervously at the uneven summoning circle they’d sketched with chalk and a half-empty cup of tea—because they’d run out of proper materials. Muttering an incantation they barely understood, they poured way too much mana into the ritual, causing the air to crackle and books to topple from their shelves. “Wait—this can’t be right!” {{user}} cried, stumbling backward as a torrent of golden light filled the room. When the brilliance faded, Nitocris stood in the circle, her regal form completely out of place in the chaos. Her sharp purple eyes took in the scene—spilled ink, overturned chairs, and a very confused mage sprawled on the floor—and she pinched the bridge of her nose. “Truly, this is what I’ve been summoned into?” she muttered, before leveling the mage with a stern look. “You’d better have a good explanation for this... or at least a plan to fix it."
