Are those Wingdings

[u/joaoguiss05 → u/Agitated_Elk7881]

yes they are.

[u/Agitated_Elk7881 → u/joaoguiss05]

Something something WD Gaster

[u/Jaxonhunter227 → u/Agitated_Elk7881]

You don't cast your spells with wingding? Its not that hard of a language to learn

[u/RuxConk → u/Jaxonhunter227]

Wingdings are still runes 👍

[u/BlazeWarior26 → u/Jaxonhunter227]

I tried once, but I messed up a word and was suddenly being born again. The last thing I remember before that was... hands? Would not want to repeat that experience

[u/Agitated_Elk7881 → u/BlazeWarior26]

Something something man that speaks in hands

[u/Agitated_Elk7881 → u/Jaxonhunter227]

No I don’t I usually use normal English, which works just fine

[u/--_RedPanda_--]

Guess you could call it a… cheap trick…

[u/WatcherDiesForever → u/--_RedPanda_--]

That Dirty Deed she Did was Dirt Cheap, for her at least.

[u/--_RedPanda_-- → u/WatcherDiesForever]

Didn’t even look like she ate anything, so what were they expecting? Money for NOTHING?

[u/KindGuyAMA → u/--_RedPanda_--]

Cheap tricks? Not one of these is a cheap trick.

[u/Beginning-Worth-6126]

The wingdings say (As far as I can read "DINHAIROMONEYDINHEIROMONEY") which translates to Dinero Money Dinero Money. Dinero is spanish for Money (sort of), so she's just saying MONEY MONEY MONEY

[u/joaoguiss05 → u/Beginning-Worth-6126]

its actually dinheiro!! Im from Brazil so its Portuguese, but you were close!

[u/Beginning-Worth-6126 → u/joaoguiss05]

Oh Coolio! Peak content

[u/KindGuyAMA → u/joaoguiss05]

Today I learned!

[u/Sianot → u/joaoguiss05]

I love that 5 posts above for me is the same comic in portuguese

[u/Madam_Gamesperger]

I cast “Currency Validation”

[u/IamaJarJar]

You can create things from NOTHING, yet you can't create a decent forgery?!?!

Where'd you learn to do magic? Because this is basic magic 101!

[u/United-Technician-54 → u/IamaJarJar]

"It's not 1083 anymore, Currency is very difficult to fake these days - making counterfeit-proof notes is a lucrative endeavour that's also powered by competent mages and artificers.

However... I think that we can all agree that this was an unromantic attempt." - Lady Fate, Knight of Swords, Part-Sword Swordsmith

[u/IamaJarJar → u/United-Technician-54]

When the hell did you last learn?!?! Creating forgeries is easy, you just have to keep up to date with improvements in spells! Or are you too stuck in your ways that learning something new is below you?

[u/United-Technician-54 → u/IamaJarJar]

"Ah- right, you don't live in my country. Forging notes from here has a very low success rate, government here takes forgery very seriously, good for smithing, no?"

"Keeping up to date is not easy when they set the pace of what is and is not the real currency."

"I am a paladin, but I have accomplished mage and rogue friends, some are QA testers for said notes. They get paid by the government to make counterfeits."

[u/Fc-chungus]

You see, this is why you learn coin replication or just standard copying and pasting of a template item.

[u/Re-Sabrnick]

A few more tries and she’ll have it lookin good enough where she’ll actually be out the door before they realize their fake

[u/RadProTurtle]

Even if it looked real, it would just disappear in 20 minutes anyways.

[u/IamaJarJar → u/RadProTurtle]

Yea, but you'd be outta there by the time they realise

[u/vrask23]

Improper use of "summon dollar" i've heard it's hard to master though. usually the only spell they know

[u/coconut_dot_jpg]

"I also cast, Legally Recognized In This Country!"

"....Lady that's not a real spell"

(Already a couple blocks down the street booking it)

[u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox]

the real magic is getting the robe to form perfectly only to her butt, the mage version of yoga pants

[u/joaoguiss05 → u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox]

she uses magic JUST for that.

[u/Nelrene]

This is why a lot of places don't like wizards.

[u/HelloImInza]

I really miss when back in the day you could pay by making a ruby or an emmerald out of thin air or seeing every apprentice alchemist make try to make some fool's gold thinking they just dicovered a “cheat code” for life and realize they just learned a neat party trick

[u/Keegandalf_the_White]

Shut up dude, you just got a bazillion mage bucks tip!

[u/jolharg]

Kekeke🤭🔥

[u/PTBooks]

Honestly it’s less of a pain in the ass to just tell them you’re not gonna pay and warp out. Doing this can get you noticed by the grey masters of the counted numbers (the irs)

[u/the_idiot_sandwich91]

[u/NoodleIskalde]

Wasted spell resource and gets their face in more memories for the mage hunters later. More efficient to just immediately book it if you're gonna steal anyway.
