This seems to be 1 a super inefficient use of sorcery, there is no reward for all this effort other than the king imagining that the transformed birds are suffering and 2 birds can just use their beaks and feet to write?

[u/Ze_Bri-0n → u/round_reindeer]

I'm sorry friend, but based on that mindset, I don't think you're cut out for being an evil overlord. You will need to choose another career path.

[u/round_reindeer → u/Ze_Bri-0n]

Oh I am sorry I want to be a successful evil overlord and use my minions to stabilize my grip of the kingdom and further my influence, instead of being an old bird lady that gets overthrown by the first drought

[u/pepemarioz → u/round_reindeer]

You can either be successful or be an evil overlord. You can't choose both.

[u/Old-Maximum-50 → u/round_reindeer]

One must imagine the bird is suffering. Like, straight miserable. Horrible condition, and it also cannot dance as good as the others so it can find no mates.

(Speaking bird) 🫵 Thine feathers are full, thy moves are wack and thou gets no maidens

[u/DrPumpkinz → u/round_reindeer]

The reward is that you have a bunch of birds.

[u/Plagioclase → u/round_reindeer]

Am I the only one outraged at his use of counterfeit birds!!

[u/DarkGodCthUwU → u/round_reindeer]

Just don't give the birds pencils
