As soon as my fingers hit the rough stucco surface, I knew I’d fucked up. The hairs on the back of my neck stood on end, and I sensed a tiny pop of magic that indicated I’d just tripped an alarm ward. A slight smell of ozone filled the air, signaling that another, larger spell was brewing as well. Fuck! Why didn’t I examine the wall for wards? Because Catholic monks aren’t supposed to be using magic, that’s why.
