TranscriptA comic in four panels:

Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.

Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?"
AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"."

Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.

Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!"

Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.

Gothic sorceress: "?!!"

Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.

Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!"

Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.

AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."

As has been established in the previous strip, that's what her school provides instead of familiars. She wasn't happy about it back then and it doesn't look like her opinion is going to change anytime soon.
