Balthazar sets a few ingredients by the fire, then sits next to Roi and nods, pulling an onyx ring off one of his pinky fingers. "I'm going to give you this to wear for a few minutes. It's a weak magic ring, designed to test and train students. Before you put it on, I want you to promise me to use it carefully. No trying to break things or set things on fire, and no shapeshifting while you're wearing it. I don't know how the magical aura would affect that, and I wouldn't want you to get stuck. Okay?"
His expression is serious--this isn't a coaxing request, it's a command. Still, he wouldn't be giving him this much opportunity to experiment if he didn't trust his temperament and common sense.
