Teachings of the Witch

Wors Oozes can only be defeated with magic. With the Second Bloom in just one week’s time, Will seeks Julius’s help and concentrates his efforts on training to anchor magical energy in his sword. Meanwhile, Kreutz wants Will and Will’s Wis power in his grasp, so he dispatches assassins. As high mages from the Upper Institute close in on Will and Julius, a mysterious witch appears to save them.
