Evil Wizard Spotted Terrorizing Innocent Bus

Has sorcery gone too far?

Strange things are happening on Clinton St., friends. Strange things indeed.

Footage from an anonymous (but surely very pulchritudinous) source has come to us of the bus incident on Clinton, revealing that what was once believed to be the result of a trainee driver who was a little too tipsy on midterm sleep deprivation was actually the result of yet another wizard attack on campus.

The footage shows the wizard standing in the median, arms aloft, in the process of an incantation, while the poor, innocent Cambus sits stranded, shivering in the cold like an abandoned puppy. Close up pictures show that the Cambus was hit with a levitation spell, causing its wheels to float slightly above the ground. Eyewitnesses, previously under the effect of a silence spell, have come forth, adding that some good samaritans attempted to stop the wizard, but were quickly averted with wards and charms.

“It’s just unacceptable,” a spokesperson from the Parking and Transportation office told us. Recently, CAMBUS has scaled back its routes in order to prioritize bus safety. “Cambuses are sensitive creatures; their little hearts can’t take it if they’re put off course. To misdirect one like this is just plain cruel. These magicians should be ashamed!”

The CAMBUS system joins the victims of a recent serial sorcery spree, perpetrated by an unknown group of wizards within the Iowa City-Coralville area. Victims report seeing tunnels where there are in fact walls, feeling their pockets picked by disembodied hands, and being turned into various rodents, but, as of yet, no one has been physically harmed. 

The School of Wizardry and Sorcerous Arts has emphasized that these are isolated incidents not encouraged by the college, and reminds any scheming students playing pranks that bringing spell components outside Newt-Eye Hall is strictly forbidden.
