"A magic breakout of any kind is when someone does magic by accident, or without understanding and controlling it. When you saw the magic-checker, he probably asked you or your parents if you ever moved objects without touching them, or saw or drew pictures in fire? Those are two of the most common breakouts of academic magic. Almost all children with that kind of magic do those things. Weather breakouts include raining indoors, sudden winds, lightning striking nearby objects... my magic breakouts tended to make flowering plants bloom whenever I walked by them, which sounds very pretty but can tire out the plants if it keeps happening. Part of the point of teaching magic is to stop the student having breakouts, because they're usually inconvenient and sometimes dangerous."
