A little girl. You had become a little girl! This was so... so... UNFAIR!
Of course, having been a twenty-year-old guy until recently, you did at least have enough self-control to say any of it out loud, and also the self-awareness to realize that the damn potion was affecting your mental processes if you were so tempted to throw a tantrum.
"Such thoughts are unbecoming of such a promising aspirant," said a voice from nowhere.
"What?" you said, embarrassed that this voice knew what you were thinking, and also worried about what it meant for your sanity.
"I am your assigned Spiritual Mentor for the power you have," the voice said. "I will teach you to be great, as great as Circe, as Calypso, as Medea of Colchis, as Morgana le Fey. I will teach you what it means to wield this power. I will teach you all that you wish to know, Aspirant."
"What? What are you talking about?"
"Your power is great, Aspirant. With the right training, such as I will provide you, you can live up to it, and none will stand in your way. My name is Hierophant, and upon this name I swear to guide you to the greatness that you so doubtless deserve." (A/N: All of the Spiritual Mentors have names taken from the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck.)
"What," you repeat, "are you going to teach me!?"
This, if anything, seemed to give Hierophant pause for thought. "I see," it said. "You have no idea of what power you wield. An unexpected roadblock. I had thought you were a little old to be assigned a Spiritual Mentor. Tell me, Ma Dame,” (A/N: pronounced madam, but with a French accent) “tell me of the events preceding the acquisition of your prodigious skill.”
You tell it everything – your trip to Salem, your purchase of the box as a souvenir, the fact that you were a twenty-year-old guy before you drank the potion, everything.
“I see,” Hierophant said. “This requires immediate action.” Suddenly, all the background noise stopped. ”I’ve stopped time,” Hierophant said smugly. ”Now, we can discuss possible courses of action in solitude regarding how not to divulge the secret of witchcraft.”
