"And there's the 'unless I can't', right on cue. I'm only just starting so it'd be another four years. Probably not worth trying. The magic school has such enticing magic though! I guess for completeness' sake I should ask about the video game dream magic at Arcadia in case it's got unexpected useful bits."

"First rank is in fact mostly only playing games in your sleep. Or being in books or movies, it is flexible. Second rank though you can bring friends into the dream to all fight Sauron or whatever, and also take things out of the books or games. They do not have all their features and don't last long but they are light and strong. Third rank, skip the part where you sleep and just go into the game or book, bring friends, and also at this rank, you can go into the internet. Plus third rank and up all digicasters are sharing a world of a particular story, so if you are all joining the Avengers together, you can find things left behind by other people who have been being Avengers. Rank four, better constructs, act autonomously - still no special powers pulling Goku out of Dragon Ball or whatever but they make for very good children's birthday party guests, give the six year old all the Disney princesses. Rank five you can become full cartoon yourself any style, like Who Framed Roger Rabbit! Also go in and out of pictures and movies and stuff - resize as appropriate or be giant, your call - and can be two dimensional, slide through door cracks."
