I arranged to meet Bora the next day and immediately began my preparations. First, I went to a nearby wholesale market and bought several hundred bundles of thin, vest-like garments that could be easily worn over other clothes. They were cheap, about a dollar apiece. I piled them in the lobby and got to work. A second-order spell is created by combining two first-order spells. For incantations, each additional circle lengthens the chant. For magic circles, each order adds another concentric circle, or field. Most high-level magic circles consist of several smaller circles within a larger one; these are all second-order or higher.
