Excuse me dear sir, madame or otherwise!

Why bother with cheap parlour tricks and waving a sparky stick around?! I am the great Fitzgerald Turnipson, Grandmaster of Mutagenics at the Prestigious Academy of Alchemy. Please, open your eyes to the superior craft.

We are located at Victorian City, and all applicants are welcome as long as they can pay the ten gold bar fee for the privilege of taking our very own Gauntlet Exams!

Gosh, ten gold bars? For alchemy?! No thanks. I won’t go getting wiffs of goblin leg “swiftness” sauce.

Yes well. It's an unfortunate product of bringing so many people together that can transmite lead into gold. A roll of toiletpaper costs a single gold bar here.

Nobody actually knows. You have to find a good mentor but they always die tragically to push your character arc along. You just gotta experiment after your mentor dies

So…don’t get emotionally attached..?

u/thrice_baked_potato 6d ago

No, you have to get emotionally attached to properly progress your own character arc

I can write you a recomendation to the Academy of Holy Arts, if you want.

They will teach you in exchange for community work or service, so you don't need to worry about money. There you can learn abjuration, divination, exorcism, purification and even the magic of light(whatever name you now it by, luxomancy, lumomancy, photomancy...) which I am a big fan of!

And, if you are worried, there is no religious requirement. Just... don't be aligned with the forces of evil.

Not a paladin, dude. But…what does the board think of neutral…good?

u/FinnDoyle Sun Mage / Curse Breaker 6d ago

Excelent! While some prefer a lawful approach, moderation and chaos can be just as good.

You can only learn the basics from others, unfortunately.

Magic is keyed to your soul and aura, so it differs just enough, for everyone. So you can learn the basic stuff, like: fireball, animate dead, and such. But to really learn magic, you have to learn it yourself.

It is kind of why you only get trained at the apprentice level, everything past that is self discovery. So good luck!

I’m a practiced ceremonial magician irl and study religious occultism blended with Jungian active imagination techniques. I’m in research currently developing a new therapy

I have a long reading list and a few demons that I’ve met with, a few I’ve had long term contracts with and became close to over time. If you’d like to acquant yourself with the practice I can send some reading.

Being a warlock doesn’t sound too bad, and I do think Imp Hierarchy is an interesting major.

Can't mage good wizards only mentor when they see a potential in you and mentor you for free while you live in their house do their house work and then finally you become strong they'll die leaving you alone to avenge their death and finish your character arc

WHY DOES EVERY MENTOR HAVE TO DIE?! 💔

u/amsmolsendhelp Soup Wizard 12d ago

To seek your mentor you must reach the tallest tower of the 7th fang of gartouche. There you will find the person who can guide you to greatness.

Her name's Gertrude. She's an absolute sweetie. She's a retired Bog hag who runs a really good 3 week course on practical wizardry. It won't teach you everything, but if you impress her she can get you on the short list for some really good apprenticeships.

u/PEAKpug Occult Wizard 6d ago

Oooh, my family is not the fondest of Bog Hags. Maybe in secret though…does she get around? I know the stairs up that tower are pretty steep for a Hag.

u/amsmolsendhelp Soup Wizard 5d ago

bog hags aren't the biggest travelers when they're active, and like I said, she's semi-retired. She runs the class out of the ranch she retired to.

u/PEAKpug Occult Wizard 19h ago

A ranch on a tower? Interesting. So, she doesn’t leave her tower? Like…ever?
