Imagine this: you teach biology, you have a family, a home, and you’re planning to defend your PhD thesis. But one day you open the door and a strange woman stands on the threshold. She claims your husband is a real wizard and that he needs to create new wizards. She demands a divorce and hints that you should be grateful for the preservation of life. Many might give in—but not me, Valéchka Serova. Wizards? So what? After talking with my students, that doesn’t seem difficult. Then we’ll proceed to identify magical abilities, and after that we’ll go to other worlds for materials for a magic wand and other things a beginner mage needs. Our motto: come without an invitation, see, and take everything you need. Ready for adventures? I’m definitely ready!
