“I trust you’ll make good use of these?” A stern man’s voice rang out from within the walls of the Garreg mach monastery. Specifically, the infirmary within it’s cathedral. On this particular day, the monastery’s resident physician was working on some potent new forms of faith magic. And to help with said magical research, Seteth had authorized the use of several ancient books from the closed off section of the library. He brought them to Manuela personally, and set them down on her desk.

“Oh yes, these will most certainly come in handy. It shouldn’t take me all that long to get the first of my experiments underway~” Manuela stated in her usual flirtatious tone. She got to work right away, starting to flip through the pages of one of the old tomes. “You just leave this all to me and I’ll get back to you soon, alright?” The former songstress suggested, to which Seteth replied with a nod. “Very well. If you have any need of me, I’ll be waiting in my office. Do let me know if you need anything, though I must be off now” he said with a small bow, promptly heading out just after that, as promised

Manuela just gave him a little wave and a smile before immediately starting to work on her magic. This was very important work after all. Developing a new type of healing magic was an incredibly complicated process, and one that took years and years of refinement. Manuela was… skipping a few steps though, and starting to try out spells in the book practically at random

“Oh my. Well look at this one…” she muttered to herself, starting to use her hand to cast something. Just a little green circle as it went with most healing magic. But this circle was quite a bit more complicated than most. Filled with all sorts of runes the healer had to insert herself. And somewhere along the way, she ended up misspelling a few of those runes…

She finished up the spell, and didn’t hesitate to snap her fingers to activate it. “Now then. That shoul-“ Manuela began to hypothesize, but never got to finish her sentence as the tiny little circle suddenly exploded in a flash of light! There was no noise, no sound. Just a bright light… and then she was small. “Oh dear I… wait… what’s… going on?!?” She started to say, slowly sitting up and looking around. She’d ended up on the floor, and her own desk looked bigger than any castle in the entire land! She was absolutely puny! And unbeknownst to her, this spell had actually spread across the entirety of the monastery! Though it only affected women around the place, and the men all stuck to a normal size, most of them not even noticing what had occurred!

And it just so happened that at this time, Seteth needed something from Manuela, so was heading back to her room. With so many shrunken women around the monastery however, perhaps our story does not have to stay here…
