Instructions-
Please answer questions in detail and to the best of your ability. Again, an answer is required for each question, as well as your reasoning for each answer. There are no wrong or right answers, but they are expected to be at least somewhat relevant. Send your completed questions to collegiaarcana@gmail.com. You have exactly twenty-four hours. I will call time at midnight tomorrow, until then I cannot speak to you or aid you in any way. You may begin after the invocation. Good luck.

Invocation-
In Luna's night we gather to test the worth of these assembled, that they may bend themselves to their task, and one day join us as brothers and sisters in the arcane. Let Cadenza's Dawn give them new strength and hope, Celestia's sun guide them and illuminate their path, Everstar's Evening refresh their minds and bring them wit and thought, and Luna's moon receive their weary words. By and for the Avatars, may our spells stay strong.

1. You and your family, including your two children, parents, and your siblings, are wandering a wasteland. You have not seen water or food for days, but there is an oasis in the distance.
