In Paraasilan, Esmaar, a pair of roommates are about to break a rule that, compared to the one about running in the corridors or even the one about unlicensed teleportation, is there for a good reason.
In unison, they complete their shared spell.
Admin in Elcenia

An apparently-human woman appears in the circle, positioned as though sitting in a chair. A split second afterward, before she has had time to fall, a chair appears to prevent that outcome.
She looks slightly perturbed.

The girls start chattering at each other in an unfamiliar language. They seem excited.

The woman in the chair crosses her arms and observes this. She continues to look slightly perturbed.
Eventually the blonde girl fetches a book, looks something up in it, and makes a gesture and speaks more gibberish.
"Did that work?" her roommate asks the summonee.
"Did that work?" her roommate asks the summonee.
"Sorry, we'll send you back real soon," says the younger girl. "We just have to show you to Nemaar and then back you go."
Both girls blink. "What?" asks the blonde one.

The self-described administrator has no response to that, except to settle back in her chair and resume looking slightly perturbed.
Time elapses.
Eventually the younger girl leaves and comes back with a humanoid lion, who inspects the admin, knocks on the ward around the summoning circle, and shrugs. "Where'd the chair come from? That's not a school chair."

"There are currently limitations on the magical properties I could assign," she says. "It is inconvenient. Otherwise, yes."
"...what kind of limitations?" asks the blonde one.

"Yeah," says the blonde girl, "now we just oh no."
"What?" asks her roommate.
"Oh no oh no oh no -"
"What?"

"Oh no oh no oh no -"
"What?"
"You can't co-cast a reversal, I can't believe I forgot that, oh no," whimpers the elf.
"They're going to expel me," says the human, paling.
