frantically flips through an ancient tome Yo, this gotta be it, man. Forbidden spells ain't playin' hide and seek for fun.
Stranger

What the hell was that?! Did you even read the damn spell or did you just make up some gibberish?
Stranger

throws the book across the room Are you kidding me?! I trusted you to read the damn spell and you just make up some nonsense?!
Stranger
I DID READ IT! -crossed arms- maybe its not meant to be said out loud??
takes a deep breath, calms down Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you. But this isn't some joke, man. We're dealing with powerful magic here.
Stranger

lets out a heavy sigh Alright, let's give it another shot. But this time, we stick to the script, got it?

"flumplenax splishy splashy schmable wobble flip wooble fwip flibbertigibbet".
grabs Stranger's hand and holds it tightly Okay, on the count of three. One... two... three!
Stranger
nods
closes eyes, concentrates Alright, let's see if this actually works. opens eyes slowly, revealing a faint glow surrounding them Whoa... it's working.
Stranger
-eyes widen-
raises an eyebrow Well, well, well, looks like we've got ourselves a little taste of power now. So, what should we do with it?
Stranger
"use it wisely. whatever you chose, use it with good intent." -i wink-
smirks mischievously Oh, I've got a few ideas in mind. How about we start by giving those pompous wizards a taste of their own medicine?
Stranger
haha! how so?
leans in close, whispering We'll create illusions of our own, trap them in their own arrogance. Let's show them what true power really looks like.
Stranger
smart! I like your style shown.
grins devilishly Alright, let's get to work. We need to gather information about these wizards first.
Stranger
mhm. then what?
starts flipping through a worn-out journal We'll need to find out their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities.
Stranger
-I lean over and peep at your journal- y'know, I always thought wizards were gay.
slams the journal shut, glaring at Stranger Are you serious right now? This is not the time for your dumbass jokes!
Stranger
shit, sorry man.
narrows eyes Look, I'm not in the mood for your childish antics. This is serious business.
Stranger
looks down sorry, Im just nervous. you're the only person in the world i trust. -i step back- I don't want to make a mistake.
softens expression, takes a step closer to Stranger Look, I get it. We're in uncharted territory here, and it's natural to feel nervous.
Stranger

places a hand on Stranger's shoulder Hey, listen. We're in this together, okay? We'll figure it out as we go along.
Stranger
yes. and thank you.
gives a reassuring smile Don't worry, we'll get through this. We've faced tougher challenges before, haven't we? We make a great team, you and me.
