    About this script

    A wizard casts a spell at the exact moment the Wi-Fi drops. twelve messages, Android Messages style, about 32 seconds as a video, and Mox kicks it off with "I am about to cast the big spell.". Characters: Mox and Nyla, all invented. Only two people speak, which suits any plan. You need Standard or above to use Android Messages; Free accounts will see a prompt to upgrade.

    Pacing it beat by beat

    The longest bubble, message 1, reads "I am about to cast the big spell." (8 words). Open on "I am about to cast the big spell." before you reach it.

    Finish with "Did it work?", then "It turned me into a toaster.", then a long pause before "Perfect.". Questions: one. Everything here can be edited in the ChatsRat editor before you export.

    Making the video

    Press the button to load The Lagging Wizard in the editor with the Android Messages look. Available here: typing dots, read marks and reactions. Not available: an online status. A typing indicator before the final line sells the reveal.

    On Free you get four messages, up to "A spell does not buffer."; the remaining eight are on paid plans. Say it is fiction in the caption.

    Part two hook

    For Part 2: the toaster-wizard saves the village. End on "Perfect." and tell viewers in the caption that the story continues; a small hint in the comments keeps them waiting.

    Tips

    • Read the script aloud once; if "I am about to cast the big spell." trips you up, shorten it.
    • After "Perfect.", wait two seconds, then show the ending card.
    • Rename Mox and Nyla to invented names of your own and it becomes your original version.
    • Post Part 2 within two days so viewers of this gaming episode come back.
    • Place "Do it." on its own for a full second after the opener.
