GOTAL  =  GLOAT,  REETX  =  EXERT,  CLFIEK  =  FICKLE,  COYPCU  =  OCCUPY   —   Giving us:  OTRTIKOCY

Clue/Question:  He failed his magician’s exam because it was . . .

Answer:  TOO TRICKY

(I’m sure that people had an easier time figuring out today’s guest characters, than they did with yesterday’s.  Nicely scrambled – all around.  The first three clue words all seemed familiar, but I can’t remember seeing “occupy” before.  Maybe ralis95 will check in to confirm.  He’s been rather quiet of late.  My Site Stats indicate that someone has been checking up on me.  Most likely it’s someone from Gathering of Eagles, or some other group that is generally a denyer of global warming.  Don’t worry, kids.  By now yer old uncle is used to this kind of thing.  Just toe the line, and don’t rock the boat, and the rest of you will be alright.  I prefer the sand between my toes . . . and not up my nose.  I hope you guys notice that I always wish you to be well, and not be good.  Being good is just so subjective . . . and so wishy-washy.  Doing good is much less subjective.  Although, I know there are plenty of cranks out there that would fight me on this, as well.  Fortunately, I believe that the majority of you get it.  So, be well and do good, dear readers.)   —   YUR
