"Seriously? Is that thing able to appear anywhere?" I ask, pointing at the entrance to Mrs. Santiago's workshop incredulously.
"Well, yes and no," Mrs. Santiago answers ambiguously. "I can summon this door in any place I've marked with my magic."
"Wait you marked my wall?!"
Seeing my shifting eyes scrutinizing the door and the wall around it, she softly chuckles. "Not a physical mark. This one is purely magical. Come, place your hand here."
Cautiously, I press my palm on the surface of the door, where she's indicated. But I shake my head. "I don't feel anything."
"Come now, Ali. Have I been training you for nothing?"
Oh, I guess she did say it was a magical mark. I close my eyes and push my energy towards the door. It's like pushing my hand through the wood, feeling around within it.
