[UA] Lavomancy

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

While this school certainly deserves some of the
criticisms levelled at it, I'm not asking whether this
is a good school or not.  I needed help thinking up
Formula Magic for it.  I might point out that it's a
lot easier to loose charges in this school than other
ones, too, but that's not the real problem.  The real
problem is that my wife created the school and I must
appease her. I'm stuck for thinking up Formula Spells.
Formula Spells me no have.  Need Formula Spells for
this Broken school I.  Please Help. Please.  It's okay
if the Formula Spells require tons of charges.  Just
fine.  Great way to balance out the charge-gathering
imbalance.  Nice thinking.  I'll do that.  Gotta keep
the school, though, or wife unhappy.  Must not make
wife unhappy.

Maybe "cleansing" isn't that clear of a concept,
that's probably why I'm having trouble making up
formula spells.
