I arrive at the MagiQuest store 30 minutes before opening. It’s already fully stocked and the countertop is tidy, thanks to the evening team from the night before. I put on my Magi cloak and grab my wand from the back room. As usual, I’ll use my Master Magi wand and mod—the kids love to see them in action. I set out to check all of the interactive effects and stations around the lodge and note any issues I find. Nothing today—all is well in our virtual realm of Vellara.

The store opens at 9am and right away, we have a steady flow of guests wanting to start playing MagiQuest. My fellow Pack Member and I help our new Magi players to choose wands and wand mods, as well as cloaks, capes, and/or belts. We set up their MagiQuest game accounts and—most importantly—teach each new Magi how to perform a proper wand cast.

On my way to the break room, I pass by a family at the Dragon encounter. They’re getting a bit scorched by Charlock’s flame breath, so I give them some pointers on when to cast the Ice Arrow Rune. They give it another shot and this time they’re victorious! Helping guests have fun is one of the most rewarding parts of my job.

It’s time to check in on all the MagiQuest stations and effects. I take another walk around the lodge, wand in hand, while my co-Pack Member stays at the store to assist other guests. I see a Magi casting at a very particular treasure chest, which means that they’ve finished the game and have become a Master Magi! I remind them to come to the Magi Ceremony in the lobby that afternoon to be recognized for their achievement.

The next shift is due to start, so I return my wand and cloak to the back room, make sure there are no outstanding to-do items, and head out. Another successful day of quests and magic at Great Wolf Lodge.
