There's a Magic Store at Buzzard and 66th, featuring Scroll of Turning (500) / Scroll of Teleportation (5000) I tell you, the scroll of teleportation works wonders if you get a good rumor from a bartender.

Warning, avoid "PassThisOn". (link goes to warning, not the evil site.)

Nice job on Aqualad last night's Teen titans, including classic aquaman nuh-nuh-nuh fish telepathy rings and sound (Voiced by Wil Wheaton) and a superb usage of beast Boy's Talents.

Bottle Imps : A class of German spirits, similar in many ways to Familiars. The following is a prescription of an old alchymist, given by the Bisop of Dromore in his Relics of Ancient Poetry, for the purpose of securing one of these fairies. First, take a broad square crystal or Venetain glass, about three inches in breadth and length. Lay it in the blood of three white hen on three Wednesdays or three Fridays. Then take it and wash it with holy water and fumigate it. Then take three hazel sticks a year old ; take the bark off them ; make them long enough to writeon them the name of the fairy or spirit whom you may desire three times on each stick, which must be flat on one side. Bury them under some hill haunted by fairies on the Wednesday before you call her ; and on the Friday following dig them out, and call her at eight or three, or ten o'clock which are good times for this purpose. In order to do so successfully one must be pure, and face toward the East. When you get her, tie her to the glass.

Napellus : A plant with narcotic properties, with which Van Helmont experimented. He says that, having on one occasion roughly prepared the root, he tasted it with his tongue, and in a very short time found that the centre of thought and intellect was situated at the center of his stomach. An unusual clarity and distinctness of thought rendered the experience a pleasant one, and he sought on future occasions to repeat it by the same means, but without success. After about two hours he felt a slight dizziness and thereupon thought in normal fashion with his brain. But throughout the strange experience

Salamander's Feather : Otherwise known as Asbestos. A mineral of uncombustible nature, which resembles flax, being of fine fibrous texture. It was used by Pagans to light their temples : when once it was lighted, they believed it could not be put out, even by rain and storms. Leonardus says : "Its fire is nourished by an inseparable unctuous Humid flowing from its substance ; therefore, being once kindled it preserves a constant light without feeding it with any moisture."

Screech Owl : The cry of the screech owl at midnight is said to portend evil.

Sycomancy: Divination by the leaves of the fig tree. Questions or Propositions on which one wished to be enlightened were written on these leaves. If the leaf dried quickly after the appeal to the diviner, it was an evil omen ; but a good augury if the leaf dried slowly.

Tiromancy : Divination by means of cheese. It is practised in divers ways, the details of which are not known.

Sex X-rays. Not safe for work.
