Page IV
Ingredients
One tail feather from any eagle (to become an eagle)
One pair of fly wings (to become a fly)
One pinch of saffron
Rose petal essence
One magic wand
Directions
Put a pinch of saffron in essence
Recite this verse
Oh winged spirits, set me free
Of earthly bindings, just like thee.
In this essence, behold the might
To grant the precious gift of flight.
Wave the magic wand
You now have a potion which will allow you to cast the transformation
spell.
To cast the spell any time later:
Dip the eagle feather in the essence (if you want to become an
eagle)
Or
Dip the fly wings in the essence (if you want to become a fly)
You will turn into an eagle or a fly. If you do not transform
back into yourself, the spell will wear off after some time has
passed. You can use this spell until your rose petal / saffron
potion is gone.
To return to your own form before the spell wears off, recite
this verse:
Eagle begone, myself return
Or
Fly begone, myself return

Power most dear to my heart

To another place far thither
Wave the magic wand
You now own a charm which will allow you to cast the random teleportation
spell. To cast the spell, rub the stone. It will instantly wisk
you away from where you are. Remain alert, however - even though
you can use the spell to run away from danger, nothing guarantees
that you will not arrive in a more precarious situation than the
one you left. The power of the charm remains for as long as you
retain the stone.
