I have been able to trace the source of the magic that's caused all these transformations. Spooktacular, the costume shop that gave out the free gift certificates for costumes before the party. Somebody definitely wanted do cause trouble, and tempted us to fall into their trap with free, cursed costumes. I've been to the shop - the owner is missing, and the employees, Tumbleweed locals, don't know anything about him, or his location. The remaining costumes in his shop are all enchanted, and I suspect will still be able to transform you if you wear them.

The most curious thing about the magic in the shop - it feels like it's getting stronger.

My fellow sorcerers and magic-users, I'd like your opinions. Are you able to meet me at the shop? Let me know when. I'm continuing to monitor the situation.

I'm responding to the Lost Cat poster that I saw in town. I think I may have found him. Grey, overweight, friendly. He came up to me out of an alley, where he'd been hiding among the dumpsters, and started rubbing my leg with his head in affection. I brought him home with me. He had a taste for human food, especially pizza and donuts.

	Just George will suffice, Mr. Strange. I don't want to make any suppositions without taking a closer look. I only find it curious that I was in the costume shop a few days ago and didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. I wonder if the enchantment was only recently applied, or if it has qualities I cannot detect. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	George then. And in turn, you may call me Stephen. When you say you were at Spooktacular 'a few days ago', do you mean before or after the party where all the transformations took place? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A pleasure, Stephen. I was there before. I haven’t been back since. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The shop is teeming with magic, where there was seemingly none before. I'm curious how the culprit managed to hide its presence until the party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	A shielding spell, perhaps, or simply not activating the enchantments until the party? Does the magical signature seem familiar to anyone you've talked to? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That's one way, but wouldn't a shielding spell give off a vibration, tipping off anybody sensitive to magic?

No, nobody seems familiar with it, thus far. Then again, not everybody has inspected the spells. That's one of the reasons why I've been asking for help; to see if we can identify the type of magic used may narrow down our search of who might've done this.

	Where I'm from, if a shielding spell is done well, it wouldn't leave any traces of its existence, which is the point of a shielding spell. Perhaps it works differently here. I am almost there. I'll take a look when I arrive. (Reply to this) (Parent)
