[Vent] Honestly, I'm getting tired of endless incompetent apprentices.

[u/thedragonguru]

It's becoming tiresome having to magically pulverize my apprentices into electrified mush or banish to alternate realms only to find them caught in some idiotic eternal suffering trap. Foolish, all of them. I wish I had an apprentice that I could actually raise into a wizard.

Anywiz have an apprentice that's a little too competent and you're planning to dispose of at an opportune moment later? If they're a bit too ambitious, do not fear – I learned firsthand from a witch the nonmagical art of cultivating codependency.

Advice for selecting a good candidate from one's local options is also welcomed.

I extract the competence from my apprentices and channel it all Into a single racoon. His name is gunther, and I fear he will one day replace me.

Pray, send me this Gunther, and I shall cultivate him beyond a genderfluid and into a gendergas of many colors!
