The important thing to do today that wasn't learning new spells turned out to be helping with the renovations. The word had spread quickly, and everyone was being swamped with requests and pleas to be included on upcoming days lists in advance, so Cassie had been sent to recover Wolfe and get him to help out.
Even Cook had been suckered into sending her Guardian to renovate living quarters, under the guidance of one of her trusted helpers, who was happy to get off dish washing duty.
They didn't do anything as mundane as washing dishes manually here, but keeping the spell running took a fair bit of focus, though very little power. It was a perfect task for a newer Rank One witch learning to control her powers, but it was hard work.
What the helper was about to learn was that keeping a bored Familiar on task was not much easier, it was just less mana intensive.
