[+1 to we love salt in this house, salt-chalk is a new one but Clamor isn't gonna complain. He'll just have to do it a little more slowly to get the inscriptions right...
It is is still kind of annoying that neither he nor Lucifer can do the magic part themselves, but Clamor isn't going to let that negativity show. Better to stay positive!!]
New magic can be intimidating, but if you all could summon these imps by yourselves, I have no doubt that you'll be able to handle the un-summoning just fine! We'll do a couple practise runs on the smaller circles, then we'll tackle the big ones, alright?
[They're simple wards, so all it really takes is a bit of focus and willpower from the caster to get them to charge up. The smaller practise circles can even be used as talismans! Really shitty talismans, since its not a spell that downscales well, but they can tape the paper to their chest and it'll probably deflect an incoming spell once before breaking. More importantly they can fuck up on those ones and it'll be nbd just make sure you got it before they get to the Real Deal.
The binding spells are just a simple, though he's not walking them through how to draw them because that's the last thing we need right now, a cult with the power to bind people to a spot. It only lasts a minute or two tops but still. He'll also remember to warn everyone not to step in them once they're active, because there's a bunch of people here and "binding spells that don't affect allies" would take way too long to teach right now, these traps are mostly here to catch any imps that might slip out of the banishing area or try to escape.
anyway ALL OF THAT IS HAPPENING hope you guys weren't planning on doing anything else after school today because this is a mandatory magic lesson
There is still one matter left to deal with, though... getting the imps to show up where they want them to. Did Hikaru find out whose blood was on the herbs?]
... I don't even want to suggest this, but these are desperate times. [inexperienced casters at work, short on supplies, people dying, etc.] If the imps were exposed to blood in the last attempt, it's likely they'll react to that same person's blood a second time. It doesn't have to be a large amount. If we can get that person's cooperation, we might even be able to deal with all of them at once.
[and if not, well... he looks to Lucifer, who seems to know more about both the imps and blood magic, so maybe he'll have a better backup plan if that one falls through.]
