Subject: SD-1
Race: Elf
Gender: Female
Age: Young Adult
"Mental Stress Test 1"
Notes: Subject was stripped naked and of all possessions and made to wade through Mind Fog. The spell feeblemind was casted to remove higher though as to better observe the more primal responses the subject had.
Observation: After losing the ability of rational thought and speech through the feeblemind spell, the subject became quite enraged when attacked by an animated corpse. It seemed to consider attacking me after it fought the reanimation I ordered to strike it. Possibly an appropriate response? I'll ask other faculty what they think.
Student Observation: Though the subject has not been timid about being forced to expose herself in my series of observations, student [redacted] pointed out that SD-01 previously held some shame for being on display. I will make a note to engage SD-01 on this topic. It's possible the boon of the [redacted] has caused it to share in similar carnal tastes as the demon.
Subject's Report: Subject suggested that these responses seemed natural. Gave appropriate reasons for why, though did admit that it wanted to kill us for a moment when the reanimation attacked it. Maintains that it is of sound mind. Watch closely.

Assessment of Subordinates
Student [redacted]: Thayan Mulan female. Prone to outbursts and disrespect. I had to turn her to stone this evening after she cracked a joke about the way I walk. Reminded her afterwards of the values of our institution. Arrogant, insubordinate, ambitious, and acutely aware of her own intelligence. Seems to be a promising Red Wizard.
Student [redacted]: Rashemi male; deformed, caliban. Works more diligently than other students and has already taken steps for submitting a thesis proposal. Vested interest in obtaining full freedom through academic pursuit. Shows no signs of anger at my increased hostilities. Caught sneaking food and water to SD-00 once after experimentation. Will need to break him more before I could ever call him a Red Wizard.
Student [redacted]: Hazlani Mulan male. Keeps quiet to himself, hard to tell what he is thinking. Usually respects authority, however, I caught him joking with student [redacted] about how I walked. Next time I will turn him into a mink. Good student.
Student [redacted]: [redacted] female. Hard to tell what she is thinking. Most respectful of all the students, and has the most bearing of the four of them. Carries traits of outspokenness from Instructor Sefris, yet maintains tactfulness, as well a great command of a variety of subject matter. I will ease off of her so long as she continues researching the Book of the Dead for me. Makings of a good Red Wizard, provided she keep discreet of [redacted].
Lab Assistant [redacted]: Tiefling test subject and assistant. Quiet, though is in the beginning stages of learning Vaasi. Hard to tell what it is thinking at times, often keeps to itself. I ask for its input to gauge its potential as a student. So far mildly promising. Still has great potential for being a renewable source of tiefling clippings.
Lab Assistant [redacted]: Human female. Cannibal. Former slave that won her freedom in the tournament, returned willingly to Hazlan. Has desire for subservience, though within that she is ambitious. Uncertain of whether I can trust her yet, though she has been useful in many odd jobs. Likes to keep basilisks around. Perhaps she is hinting that she wants to be grafted with basilisk eyes? Mixed signals.
Test Subject SD-01: Elven woman. Outspoken, unabashful. Shares in ambition to improve its body. Subject seems to hold an attachment to me that I can use to manipulate it. If all augments work accordingly, it will make a wonderful servant and underling. Must obtain its soul first.
Test Subject SD-00: Tiefling woman. Reserved. Has been absent since the [redacted] ritual, after it murdered two Rashemi serfs in the cage I put it in. Other students have cited meeting with the subject since it escaped its cage. Perhaps leave food out and it'll return home? I may send [redacted] to reclaim the subject if it doesn't show soon.
