You have the power. You are the magic wand
Larko
At midnight last night the council came together. The spellbinding seven had been together before, but with mixed results. They got along, mostly, but if you saw the previous pieces spotlighting the wizards, you know they all had their own individual motives. The Archmage of the council Ramon, struck the table with the gavel, but it didn't instantly bring the brood to attention. It took a few additional strikes, and a wave of his wand, to bring the room to silence.
One by one they made their case, some with magical visual presentations, others with just their words. Some, with no desire to join a coven, spoke half-heartly, supporting another instead. Ramon went last, part of his plan to have the biggest impact on the group. Ramon wanted another out, but was careful not to reveal his secret during his speech. It didn't matter, the rest of the wizards knew of Ramon's distain for Tony. Tony took great pride in getting under Ramon's skin, and the other wizards weren't about to lose the thorn they so enjoyed in Ramon's side.
When Ramon was done, he called for the vote. The air was thick with tension as the ballots were handed out. Two members voted for themselves, one voted for Miguel, with the remaining four all going to the same wizard. The votes, and eventual winner, came down to something simple, who wanted it most.
After the vote, things happened quickly. There was no time for a debrief, for tears or good-byes. Ramon, although angry, began the ceremony at once, casting the spell to begin the winner's transition. As the process went on, each member of the council gave their blessings and the winner transported to the coven to take their first flight. When the transition over, the council gathered for a new group photo, one without the conjured member.
