Description that's a mouse drawing of ale lol
The only thing I could come up with storywise was why Ale bought too much granola and clam juice (which I'd added to the images as just a silly gag), so that's what I wrote

Ale really wanted to learn evocation magic, but didn't want to put in the effort for it. So instead of training up his elemental magic, he decided to go and find a "get powerful quick" easy regimen to do.
He first went to the library to see if Waywocket had any books for easy magic, but she told him that "Powerful magic comes from dedication, training, and knowledge. Be wary of anyone who tries to sell you an easy way."
Ale was upset to hear this, but borrowed a book on elemental magic anyways to study up just in case.
On his way home from the market he overheard two staxie discussing cool magic. He heard one mention that scallops are very handy, and the other one was talking about the absurd amount of energy she gets when she eats granola.
That gave Ale an idea, a very horrible and nonsensical idea.
Scallops were a type of shellfish. But eating so many at once would make him sick, he knew this from experience. Clams are shellfish too. He remembered that some elderly staxies enjoyed drinking clam juice, and realized this would be the perfect way to down a ton of magic inducing material all at once! (more like nausea inducing, bro is literally going to drink too much clam juice and get sick)
"Clearly," Ale thought, "If I just eat enough granola crumbs AND drink enough clam juice, I can become a master evoker overnight! No need for stupid books or classes." he smirked very smugly.
Ale dashed back to the library. "Back already?" Waywocket looked up from her desk where she was transcribing another manuscript.
Ale tossed the borrowed book onto the counter. "Thanks for your help librarian! I know what to do now!!"

Ale dashed to the market, a satchel full of money at the ready! He stocked up on an obscene amount of clam juice much to everyone who saw hims confusion and dismay. The not so little guy bought out the granola and cereal seller's entire stock, annoying every staxie who ate granola. But ale didn't care, he was going to learn magic the supposedly easy way, regardless of what others thought.
He was going to get horribly sick after drinking and eating all of this.
---
As ale lugged his haul back home, he did think about it for a moment and thought he might regret it, but cleared those thoughts away like pesky sileans with a broom with a shake of his silly head.
---
Throughout the night, the scaled staxie drank clam juice. And ate granola crumbs.
With each bite, he felt sicker and sicker. "Surely this is a sign that I'm developing my latent magic potential into raw magical power" he thought to himself.
And then he heard the strange noises outside. It sounded like . . . something being dragged along?
It made his nonexistent hairs stand on end as he tried to figure out the source of the noise while dodging all the irritating crumbs.
