I couldn’t not draw him as every one I thought of ok?
I’ve been in a moooooood. Can’t afford therapy? Work through your trauma by sexualizing things from your childhood. Feels good man.
just manifesting another weekend!!
A thing that bothers me about wizard schools in popular media – outside of the magic-grade-school stuff, anyway – is that they're typically depicted as being basically magic universities, but their actual curricula and pedagogical approaches look much more like those of a technical institution. Like, buddy, that's not a wizard university, that's a wizard trade school. You can't just slap university student culture on top of trade school pedagogy. It doesn't work like that – the one emerges from the other!
"Well ACTUALLY wizards are" wizards are made up. They can be analogous to whatever real-world class or vocation the author wants. Wizard-school-as-university and wizard-school-as-technical-institute are both perfectly fine; what I am grumping about is wizard-school media that doesn't seem to have a clear picture of how different sorts of educational institutions actually operate.
Okay but now I really want to know what a Wizard technician would look like. Would he wear magical overalls with all kinds of reagents and magic tools sticking out of his numerous pockets?
A guy like that walks into your tower with a toothpick in his mouth, takes one look at your summoning circle and goes
“I see yer problem. You used chalk B12 instead of S3. B12 is only for transmutation circles. Gimme a sec I think I have a piece somewhere here.”
He fixes your circle, test summons an imp and goes.
“There ya go. Fit as a fiddle.”
“It’s the chalk.”
“The chalk? I always use that chalk, it’s never been a problem.”
“Ah - yes. This stuff will work just fine for most circles, but, uh - here, take a look with my loupe. You see the off-color flecks? Can’t hardly see them with the naked eye, but those are impurities. Silicates, might even be some iron in here, to be honest. Usually won’t cause a problem, but - you said you hadn’t tried this particular summons before?”
“First time trying a 5th level, yeah.”
“Those silicates will make your scribing a little fuzzy when viewed from the astral plane. You see, for example, these three fine lines here? With this chalk, on the astral that looks like one thick line with fuzzy edges. They can’t tell exactly what you want, and they’re picky lil’ critters so they just won’t do anything in response.”
“Really? Oh. I always thought the expensive chalk was just fancy to be fancy.”
“Making pure chalk is difficult, you need a dedicated production line or dust gets in the finished product. To be honest, you don’t need to bother with it for most things, but 5th and up, 5th level and up, it actually is necessary. Anything with lines within about two millimeters of each other.”
“So I need to start over?”
“Unfortunately yes. You’ll have to erase all this, but with some good chalk it should work just fine. Next new moon your summons should go off without a hitch.”
“Dang. At least it’s not my sigils, I was worried it was my sigils.”
“Nah Your sigils look good. Even and balanced. You know what you’re doing, it’s just an equipment problem.”
“Thanks for the help, sorry to make you come all the way out here.”
“No problem! It’s my job.”

If I'm an amateur author and I hire a wizard to cast a spell of "get my book published", is that considered a business expense?
Do not ask wizards for tax advice
WRONG
WHO’S READY TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT
Fantasy world where magic exists and is used for incredibly mundane purposes. Pastry chef who carves runes into his crusts to prevent soggy bottoms, enchanted shirts that prevent stains and wrinkles, etc etc
These two already roleplaying being italian pasta wizards with their pasta spells and potionmaking, love that
you have GOT to stop gendering the wizards it hurts them! wizards don’t naturally have gender in the wild and unless they spontaneously grow one (which is known to happen) you should never gender a wizard! it can take years off a wizards lifespan
The three most important things about being a wizard is 1. Being an absolute cunt and 2. Having lots of gay sex
What’s the third most important thing?
3. MAGIC MISSILE
i love wizards bc they fucking lie all the time. gandalf was like “a wizard is never late he arrives precisely when he means to” lying ass. he was late as fuck. wizards will just say whatever. it doesn’t even matter when you have a big ass hat
ALL pureblood wizards are kinky bastards.
ALL of them.
The important question is not, COULD gandalf kick dumbledore’s ass, but WOULD he. Answers below.
The votes are in: Gandalf COULD, WOULD and SHOULD kick dumbledore’s ass.
OP where does Merlin fit into this equation
Merlin COULD kick Dumbledore’s ass and Gandalf COULD kick Merlin’s ass. Gandalf however WOULD and SHOULD NOT kick Merlin’s ass bcos Merlin is a sweetheart and they’d be buds.
Merlin SHOULD kick Dumbledore’s ass but WOULD NOT bcos as stated above he is a sweetheart.
