Well look who's the smart one!

...and I have to ask, ...when are you going to apply to the University of Magic, my dear?

Your father mumbles about how 'magical' his children and grandbabies are...but I haven't seen a SINGLE NAME on the new years roster!??

No name calling, Chuck.

Oh, my dear, there are talent scouts all around.

The main way the school board filters out students is through the Olen competitions.

Just travel to one of the local pubs, but not on Tuesdays...that's when they let just anyone enter the games, and you don't want to expose your class to those who THINK they're magic caliber...but really should be riding the short bus to school.

...if you know what I mean.

BEST thing to do, which would almost guarantee the notice of a scout, is travel to Andilain during the Festival of the Seven Sons...find the 'Wolen'...

...then play wherever Master Fennick sets up.

(Tell him I sent you...)

Then enter the Olen games.

Win at least 3 rounds and you'll be interviewed.

If the mägo's name is 'Jerik', tell him Morphiophelius said "828".

He'll go away.

...and you WANT him to go away.

Keep playing until any other scout approaches you.

Oh, flip.

Jessie?

...avoid Jerik at all costs.

Don't even shake his hand.

Just raise you open palms and say "I have germs."

He will leave.
