Notes

Tip for Dimensional Magic: I gently turned the bottle upside down and right side up a few times to even out the glitter throughout the bottle. Don't shake it! Bubbles are your enemy when working with DM, and shaking creates them.
Even if you're taking lots of care to avoid bubbles in your Dimensional Magic, they still can happen. You can pop them with a pin.
