Graduates of your little academy all test in the 99th percentile; you also teach them how to lust without affection, analyze without compassion, and exploit others without remorse.

4->''In truth, [[WizardingSchool St Gysrg's]] has an extensive extracurricular course of study in [[EvilSorcerer Nephandic]] approaches to magic and [[PowerOfTheVoid the Qlippothic Spheres]].
