The main character is dragged to a different dimension by a woman made of butterflies and is forced to attend a school and learn a form of magic. during orientation he is almost sliced in half by a magic wielded by one of his teachers. the first thing that is learned is how to manipulate clay with your mind. the main ability is to control others thoughts. the school is split into factions: Tower, [unknown], and [unknown made by protagonist]. The main character falls in love with a redhead woman who can look in your eyes and read who you are, she is also very talented with manipulating clay. the doors to get into important places (like the supply closet) were invisible until the character figured out how to open them. the main character could not take off a necklace given to him by the butterfly woman until he figured out how. the food of the school floated down the middle of the banquet tables on little boats.
