Pranking at the University

You, new student at our magnificent University of Lille, have a duty to carry on our ancient tradition of pranking!
Come here to learn about this fine tradition!

Ancient history

Pranking is in the very bones of the University and goes back to its foundation in 1667 when our students were well known for finishing their parties in the streets of Lille, cheerfully decorated the city's statues with their clothes and teasing passersby.
Pranking has always been supported and even encouraged by the management of the University, as this is the perfect way to develop highly valuable things such as how to manage an often long-term ambitious group project and wrangle multiple people into doing anything productive. In addition, pranking is a way to develop your magic with practicals projects and challenging yourself with casting magic outside of the classroom. And finally, pranking is simply extremely fun and a way to show off and stand out and amuse your classmates.

Pranking the buildings

The most basic but still fun pranks are applied to statues, fountains and buildings. Examples of classics that every student worthy of the name has done at least once in their career are:

Put fun clothes on statues, especially on that statue's official statues-clothing days.
Level: easy.

Animate statues to say outrageous things, especially statues of ancient professors.
Level: medium.

Spell the water of a fountain to make them make figures or to splash passersby.
Level: easy.

Put colours or animated drawings on building to insult passersby.
Level: easy.

Change the aesthetics of buildings, such a making exam halls look like jails.
Level: medium.

Pranking your friends

The best way to cement any friendships and have fun! For example:

Disguise yourself as someone else and either insult or flirt with them.
Level: medium.

Change the colours and style of their clothes without telling them.
Level: easy.

Seal shut their dorm rooms to force them to climb in and out of windows.
Level: easy.

Slip potions in their drinks to change their behaviour in funny or ridiculous ways.
Level: easy.

Make impressive show of illusion or elemental magic that make crossing a courtyard difficult.

Conjure animals that won't let go of people until they are thoroughly complimented and petted.
Level: hard.

Pranking students you don't like

A great way to put back in their place anyone who annoys you. Just be careful to remember who's whose parents before publicly claiming ownership of the prank... For example:

Enchant their pens—or rune chalks if you really hate them—to make spelling mistakes.
Level: medium.

Enchant their clothes or equipment to fall apart at a shameful time.
Level: hard.

Slip potions in their drinks to change their behaviour in humiliating ways.
Level: hard.

Enchant every food food they eat taste absolutely disgusting.
Level: medium.

Conjure animals that will terrify and harass them.
Level: hard.

Pranking teachers

Attention! There lies danger! Only do that under exceptional circumstances and after much provocations (such as being given an exceeedingly bad note or way too much homework, especially before holidays). Teachers have better defences and get easily upset and retaliate, or worse, complain at the direction and get them to temporarily crack down on pranking all over the university. Example of teaching pranking:

Make them forget about setting assignments and exams.
Level: dangerous, need to affect their mind.

Make them publicly insult their colleagues to start a faculty-wide war.
Level: dangerous, need to affect their mind.

Have a conjuration follow them and sings loudly to prevent them from lecturing.
Level: medium, but annoys everyone around.
