 BOODLE-OODLE-OO!!!  Welcome back, my dearies. Let us jump back into the wonderful world of wizardry!  Previously , we addressed the different levels of magic based on education and experience. If you recall, I pointed out a few spells and potions,   for reference,  that would fall into each category.  Well!
