  A magician must practice on something, and it is poor manners to practice on the neighbours.<~><~>  Set down an /barmour stand/z and right-click it with a /bhay bale/z, and the straw will take the shape of a /bTarget Dummy/z. Strike it with blade or spell and it will rock back and settle again, never breaking, showing you the harm you dealt and how swiftly you dealt it.<~><~>  It suffers anything you care to throw at it. Only a blow to the stand at its feet will undo the binding, and it will leave you the armour stand and the hay bale you gave it.
