[OOC: I am assuming that Guilliame is going to have lunch in the School. Let me know if that is the wrong assumption.]
Guilliame arrives at the refectory to find it crowded with diners and he has to stand in line for a while before he can get his food. However, he is soon eating at a table with two of the younger students, one of which was in the training session he did for Master Narim.
"Hello Master de Guilliame," says the young boy. "Are you taking us for weapons training today?"

"Good," he replies. "I am no longer setting my bed on fire and can do this now."
So saying, he gestures at his beaker of water and Guilliame sees a coating of frost form on the outside of the vessel.
The other young boy snorts with laughter in response to this and says, "That's nothing. Look at this."
Muttering a few words, and a simple gesture, the second boy summons a ghostly hand, which he uses to up-end the other boy's beaker and spill out the cylinder of frozen water onto the table top.
The first boy glares across the table and then gestures at the block of ice, which slides across the table into the second boy's lap.

"Yes, sir," says the boy before he and his companion get up from the table and hurry off.
Guilliame finishes his lunch without further interruption and then makes his way to the library where he runs into Velma at the top of the stairs leading up to the second floor.
"Hello Guilliame," she says with a smile. "It seems such a long time since I have seen you. Are you well?"

Several hours later, Guilliame has a breakthrough in his understanding of the Sleep spell he is trying to recreate. Eager to see if he is right, he gathers together the papers on which he has recorded his research.
He will need a special spell component: some of the fine sand that was mentioned in the books he has been reading. Fortunately this is something he remembers was actually a part of the stock that he took from the Fini's store to sell in Masterful Mixtures; the fine sand being used to soak up surplus ink on a page to avoid it smearing.
He also realises that he will need to write the spell—as he has defined it—more formally into his own book of spells for future reference... As well as find someone, or something, to try the spell out on to see if it works.
[OOC: What is Guilliame going to do now?
On a game mechanics level, the new spell will take up 1 page of his spellbook and he will need to source some fine sand for his component pouch.
In the future, you will also need to determine which of his spells Guilliame wants to have prepared each day as he now has 5 preparable spell, but can only prepare 3 at a time.]

Once the spell is written out and sand obtained and put into a pouch Guilliame will have Sleep, Expeditious retreat and Charm person as prepared spells.
Try to find Velma in the library. If Velma is not available try to find Master Narim, look at the weapons training area first.
"Yes please. I was successful learning my spell. I just need to test it out now. I might check with Master Narim whether I can try it on some of the students."
Velma takes up another cup and pours a cup of char from a pot, which she then heats using magick. Then she takes up a small jug and adds milk to it and passes it to Guilliame.
"Do you think Master Narim would really let you try out untested magic on students?" she asks.

The two boys immediately stop mucking up and go silent, staring at what remains of their food.
"Sorry, Master de Guilliame," says the boy who froze the water.
