Final Exam 2
Well, I rolled for a tie-breaker and it looks like Blake Hoel Sun wins. Have an update to celebrate.
The room reserved for your assessment is one you're quite familiar with, having refined your spellwork within it over the past year.
Officially, these spaces are only to be used by senior students and magisters. They are essentially giant pots or kettles intended to contain the potential damage resulting from a miscast or experimental spell. Given the commonality of superficial damage, the rooms are only repaired occasionally, as is obvious from this one's state.
A glowing dome rests in the room's center, a weak barrier intended to obscure its contents.
As the door closes behind you the barrier dissipates to reveal several creatures:
a Pewter Wurm which looks like it's seen better days,
an oversized rat whose eyes betray unusual sharpness, and
a Seedspitter.
It seems the magisters are eager to get started.
Pewter Wurms are among the least dangerous of their kind. Their bodies, while tough, are much more vulnerable than their cousins', and they lack the speed needed to chase someone down in an open field. Usually they amount to vermin and rely on their intimidating fangs to ward off threats. This one won't be a threat unless you let it near, and one or two Bolts should be enough to bring it down, especially in its condition.
The rat is likely of the Rattus Connivus species, one known for assaulting sleeping travelers at camp. You can expect it to rely on its nimbleness to evade your spells and position itself out of sight before striking.
While typically immobile ambushers, a Seedspitter's capabilities can vary based on an assortment of factors. It may be venomous, shoot seeds at extreme velocities, or any number of things. It is the only ranged combatant on the opposing side.
On their own, in the wild, none of these creatures would warrant hiring a Lance -- a farmer's pitchfork would easily dispatch one of them. All together, in close quarters, they're somewhat more threatening. Still, it would strike you as strange (and vaguely insulting) if this was the extent of your test.
For now, you'll focus on the
[]{Priority} rat.
[]{Priority} Wurm.

Being poisoned would be bad so we should probably take care of it first.
