Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20190319231522

(This is a more detailed and reworked version of one of my first Hellhound WWYDs.)

You are an aspiring magic user attending a magic school. Students throughout the complex are casting a variety of spells ranging from beginner to advanced. You are in a training room with a few of your friends and no one else is around. One of them grins and removes a thick black book from his backpack that depicts a wolf with glowing orange eyes.

He claims that he bought it from a rundown bookstore and doubts that anything bad would happen if he recites a spell from the book since, in his words, "None of the books from that store are imbued with magic."

He flips through the pages until he reaches one that interests him and begins to chant several words. When he finishes, everyone is silent. Nothing happens. Your confident friend is about to speak when everything suddenly goes dark. When the lights return they are more dim than normal and the window only shows pitch black.

All of a sudden, screams are heard from outside. A student appears in the doorway with a horrified expression and screams, "Hellhounds! The monster girl kind!"

He disappears and one of your other friends is by the window pointing out and yelling, "Look!"

Outside a massive horde of Hellhounds is barreling toward the school, and more pour over the horizon. Barrages of magic spells are unleashed on the fearsome army of blackened beasts, and while some are hit and go down, it doesn't seem to stem the infernal tide.
