Hey there! Orion here with a couple of really really cool announcements. First of all, I'd like to tell you about Electromancy the Podcast. Electromancy is a new audio fiction fantasy adventure podcast, which follows the story of Jenna, a teenage lightning mage (or electromancer) who, after hiding her powers for years, is finally discovered and forced to attend the Royal Institute for the Study of Sorcery. There she will find allies, enemies, mysteries, monsters, and intrigue. And you thought your high school was bad. Make sure to listen to the end to hear a trailer for this absolutely incredible show.  Fun fact: I'm in Electromancy's cast! I absolutely love the way the show handles world-building and the music is just phenomenal, top tier, chef's kiss, lets go. I can't wait for you to hear what is in store with this show.

And without further ado, here is the trailer for Electromancy!\

LEONARD:  Magic comes from the same place inside each of us. It’s only the form  it takes that is different. Feel it all throughout your body. Think  about it pulsing through you like blood. Focus on your heartbeat. Can  you feel it?

[Loud electricity sound, then music starts]

JENNA: Everyone’s been staring at me the whole time

ELLIE: Well, yeah. Jenna, did they tell you…?

JENNA: That I’m the most powerful lightning mage this place has seen in years? Yeah, professor Sumner maybe mentioned it.

BRYNN: Brynn Tessek, umbramance class six, photomancer class five. I’m here to challenge you to a duel.

ELLIE: Brynn, she’s brand new here, she doesn’t know the rules, and she doesn’t know any magic.

BRYNN:  Exactly. That’s why everybody’s going to see that she’s not special.  Just because some machine said she was doesn’t mean she’s somebody.

DEAN: So you're saying she’s had practice?

KATYA: I’m saying she’s had training. I don’t think we’re looking at a late bloomer here at all.

JENNA:  We’re kids, Ellie! A week ago I was a normal girl - three days ago I  didn’t think I’d ever have to worry about magic. All I want to do is  fade into the background and get this over with.

[Music stops]

BRYNN: You’re talking about me like I’m some kinda revolutionary.

LEONARD: That would be a dangerous thing to say. And an even more dangerous thing to be.
