On Thursdays the Spirit Questors begin studying and reading up on magic after dusk, the way students do under their masters in Judge Dee novels. The master lights lamps within the study room, symbolic of the brightness of enlightenment within the students' minds. In the novels the students reside with their master in a wing of his house. My reality entails that I send them off, no matter how much longer they wish to stay, after the session. I need to devote myself to my family.
