L31. Secret of Magic

You looked through a book by elder Marla, who excels at transformation. The book was currently out of print.

You noticed a chapter on metamorphosis and remembered a sorcerer in the Black Swamp, Schiwo, who was interested in the subject. He had once been under elder Marla's tutelage. You decided to sell the book to him.

I'm transforming...transforming...transforming...! Schiwo stamped his foot on the ground angrily as he chanted. Unfortunately, nothing seemed to happen, though his insane stamping scared the stuffing out of a nearby tabby cat.

"Isn't this an out-of-print book by elder Marla? It's about metamorphosis skills! I've been looking for this one!"

"I'd love to buy it from you, but I've spent most of my money studying the techniques of advanced staff processing technology."

"But I may have another idea." Schiwo scratched his chin, thinking.
