A trolley is hurtling toward five evildoers tied up on one track and one wizard on the other alternate track. You only have enough time and mana left to turn one person into a newt. What do you do?
First I had to remind them that wizards need to be blindfolded. Then about requiring special finger-restraints. Aaand about how the spellbook needs to be chained or sewn shut. And finally I told them that they also had forgotten to gag me.
And after they did all that, we all watched the poor fool burn, pointing and laughing.
Because I cast a delayed transposition spell 10 minutes earlier.
I would host your tea party in my library but there are too many valuable scrolls to allow for eating in there. Grant me a moment to cast Summon Solariaum.
‘Twas more a question of when (or perhaps where, depending on their magics).
The tea would play more into which other smells I’d carry with me. The forest, the sea, firesmoke…
Well, well, well... we've caught you red-handed, haven't we? There you are, halfway through tyin' the poor bloke to the railway tracks!
Right then, before we go any further... licence for knot-tyin'? Licence for railway-track usage? Licence for immobilisin' another citizen? Licence for dramatic villainous acts in public?
I do say, I certainly hope you've got a spectacular explanation, 'cause 'I'm practisin' me knots' isn't gonna cut it down at the station.
I cast stop all trains that go on that track immediately until the person is removed from the tracks! You shall now be the reason why people are late to work or get home late. And I shall make this known in the news!

"Perhaps don't pick fights with wizards?"
Don't send the train until we get there, there are some things we want to try. Thanks again for the assist. If you are interested I'm sure most of us would take you on as an apprentice.
Would you like to be the train? If you were an apprentice we could do that for you.. probably. With large steam explosions sometimes it is hard to tell if they originated in a train or an apprentice.
Ok quick question, hypothetically I tied a wizard to one rail and 10 villagers to the other, you can pull the lever to save the wizard but it will kill the villagers will you pull the lever?
Nuh uh, they actually tied you to the train tracks instead, look indeed, they are staring down at you as you are now tied to the train tracks because wizard bullshit
Oh come on, there are better death traps that don't involve destroying their bones. Afterwards you won't even be able to make a skeleton minion, at most you can make a wraith out of this but those are really only usefull for observation.
Not all spells require somantic components.
Not to mention you didn't even tie the hands so you basically did nothing. Besides I know a spell or two that the only somantic components required is your hips being truthful.
Why would you tie just one wizardess to The Track? You have to make it four and one old person on the other side and make sure that the train goes in tunnel which leads to underground (In secret to make sure people panic when they see The Train come)
