You'd better focus on studying your “Spells of Destruction”!
Pepper
Destruction? At this time of year? Why not learn spells of creation instead?
Cayenne
The next council of The Three Moons is approaching and so are your exams. Learn! Learn! LEARN!!! AND STOP DISTRACTING YOURSELF WITH THESE FOOLISH IDEAS!!!
Sound
Slam!
Ffff

Grrrrr...!!!
A winter without a Unity Tree?! Never!
Why don't I make my own tree from scratch with magic?!
Hey! I might even combine Hippiah and Chaosah magic together for the first time! A big green tree, lit by stars and mini solar systems! Aww! It would be perfect!
And it would be creative!
But there's no way I can do this type of magic here... ...my godmothers would immediately notice if I'm not studying my “Spells of Destruction”.
Pepper
Unless... I think I remember...
Sound
Shrr

Yes! In the chapter on “Spells of Destruction”, Thyme recommends trying them in a micro-dimension. But look at all these warnings:
Mm...
Writing
“DO NOT spend all your Rea in the creation of the micro-dimension.”
Pepper
Naturally.
Writing
“DO NOT bring the results back, for safety reasons.”
Pepper
Pff... Obvious!
Here it is!
Writing
“DO NOT expect any assistance from outside of the micro-dimension... ...no one can see what you are doing!”
Pepper
No one? Really!? That's perfect! Let's get to work!
Sound
ShiiING
SCHwoomp!!
Cumin
Did Pepper just create a micro-dimension?
Thyme
Good! I hope she understood all of those warnings I wrote in that chapter about “Spells of Destruction”.

So cool! It's like a container, with only the part of the library that I need. And it's totally isolated from our own reality. It's the perfect sandbox for testing spells.
Time to focus on my masterpiece!
Sound
ShiiING
PLOooom!!
Pepper
Heh. Uh, nope.
Sound
Dhoooff!!
Pepper
Ewww!
Sound
Chting!!
Pepper
Yes! It looks good, but it's too small...
Carrot
?
Pepper
CARROT! DON'T TOUCH IT!
Sound
Plooom!!
Pepper
There! Re-sized it. Now it looks perfect! I don't see any harm in bringing this tree out of this micro-dimension. It's just a Unity Tree; It's not like it's a “Spell of Destruction”.
Alright, it's time to deploy this micro-dimension into reality and show them how creative The Chaos can be! I can't wait to see the look on their faces!
Sound
DOooong!!
Thyme
Mmm... Pepper is back. Bravo, Cayenne. Your educational methods are finally giving us results.
Cayenne
Thank you, headmistress.

CARROT! I'll be back in a few minutes with Thyme, Cayenne and Cumin. Don't do anything with that tree until I get back, OK?
OK, I'll be back soon!

Prepare to be amazed and astounded! You've never seen anything quite like this. Please follow me upstairs to see...
Sound
Shroooof!!
Pepper

Fooom!!!
CRASH!!!
Pepper
It seems I studied the “Spells of Destruction” after all!
