Created accidentally by a homesick international student who tried to enchant their grandmother's recipe while simultaneously studying for Advanced Runic Theory. The spell backfired, encoding their deepest anxieties about cultural integration directly into the casserole layers, creating a dish that speaks in riddles about both magical theory and proper potluck etiquette.

Appears as a perfectly normal tuna noodle casserole with golden-brown cheese topping, but each layer contains shifting runic symbols that spell out contradictory advice about spell components and social customs. The dish remains perpetually warm and regenerates when consumed, but the messages become increasingly cryptic and unhelpful the more desperate the reader becomes.

Serves as a cautionary symbol within the academy, representing how overthinking both magical studies and cultural adaptation can create more confusion than clarity. Students often consult it during finals week, hoping for guidance but usually leaving more bewildered than before.
