## Synopsis

After solving the Smush by putting Keepsie in charge, the students return to a now fully-fixed Wildcliff. With the help of Delnys Raethran, they set their sights on reviving Artis. Under the advice of Delnys' mentor Indumati Parlour, the students sneak into the Necromancy Department and steal several spare body parts, which they use to create and animate a flesh golem. The students then plan to transfer Artis' soul into the flesh golem, then using the Polymorph Potion they acquired from Seltie in exchange for the death of Ferdinand to transform him back into Artis' physical form. As they carry out their plan, they engage in several duels against their fellow students, winning each one. Meanwhile, Serinepth Sinderman learns that, unbeknowst to her and against her will, she has been betrothed to the crown prince of the Ashuan Kingdom, and that her family will be coming by to visit her after the fact.

The team invites several other Wildcliff students to the magical ceremony to transform Artis back into himself, under the knowledge that more spellcasters increases their chance of success. Among them is Professor Alma Allaro, who chides them for their irresponsible use of magic, but agrees to supervise the ceremony in case things go wrong. The ceremony is a success, but the powerful magic involved leads to the deaths of Delnys Raethran, Allena Hollyfield, and another student named Duet. After helping Mira to revive the dead, Alma explains to the group that she is magically bound not to raise the dead, and the Council of Administrators will be notified about what took place. The students are invited to a hearing to oversee the matter of their expulsion, and each narrowly manages to argue for their case. The fate of Alma Allaro, however, is unknown. Artis Artisian reveals to the group that he had heard everything while in Serinepth's pocket, including the voice of Fidan. He explains to them that he intends to leave Wildcliff during their second year and seek closure.

After the hearing and several of the duels, Laud reveals himself to the students, explaining that he attempted to attend the ceremony in disguise as a student whom he had earlier killed and demanding payment for the earlier Ferdinand deal. The students bring Laud to the sewers, where they provide him with one of Neska's bodies, a book about liches, and the first few steps to becoming one. During the same night, Ala Algrim approaches Mira, threatening her into becoming one of her attendants and watching over the school. The Ashuan Royal Family also arrives on campus, including a smitten Prince Frederick, who is excited at the prospect of marrying Serinepth.

The students participate in the final two duels at the Gala. After humiliating Joan Evelyn Kingsley, Integrity leaves her without full access to her powers, and the team advance to the finals. During the gala, Mira attempts to warn Delnys about the malicious nature of her mother, Adelyne, and pleads with her not to become a lich, leading to an argument between the two. They sneak out and overhear a conversation between Adelyne and Elrich, but manage to escape without being caught. The team manages a final success against the seventh year team, becoming that year's champions.
