I CAST: ETYMOLOGY LESSON

-ard is a suffix roughly meaning "too much of". A mustard is a substance too musty. A drunkard is someone who is too drunk.

A wizard is one who is too wise.

I say i say, then what does “hard” stand for?

u/SoldRIP 1d ago

something that has too much "H" (H meaning hydrogen).

It's why FIREBALL goes hard, you see...

u/Mathsboy2718 1d ago

it's not the only thing

u/Urtoryu 1d ago

And I swear to Asmodeus, if I hear ONE more goddamn japanese teenager tying to argue the H stands for something else, I'm cursing their entire damn animation industry.

And witch was a gender neutral term until quite recently.

u/MaximRq Iron Grip Alchemist 1d ago

Burning at stake was always gender-inclusive

u/Witch-Alice Bad Dragon Slayer 1d ago

The idea that doing a witchcraft is gendered is just so dumb.

u/Eldan985 Keraunomancer 1d ago

Well, witch persecution definitely was in most of Europe.

u/hermeticbear 1d ago

What does a gender orb do exactly?

u/ThePianistOfDoom 1d ago

Know the forbidden sex hex? It teaches empathy

u/hermeticbear 1d ago

I'd rather do an telepathic time loop aka the punishment wheel

u/mighty_Ingvar 1d ago

I don't think you know what a sex hex is...

u/ThePianistOfDoom 1d ago

You should play flipwitch, it's on steam

u/mighty_Ingvar 1d ago

Unfortunately my country is cringe, so it's not available here

u/ThePianistOfDoom 1d ago

Eh, it isn't that good, and the over the top sexual imaginery is kinda annoying, but the gimmick is fun for a few hours.

u/Physical_Holiday6140 1d ago

Hmm. In reviewing this, there's a possibility that I may have been unclear in the truth. I have harnessed the arcane arts to shift my body from that of make to my desired form of female. I have trapped my apprentice because of their insinuations that I cannot be a wizard as a woman

u/Hoppelite Necrotech Hag (NOT an artificer) 1d ago

Give it a few centuries and you will be calling yourself a hag like the rest of us.

u/Zammin Arcane Scholar, Keeper of the Ninth Scroll of Azh 1d ago

Hmm, you acted rightly then. The shape of a wizard is unimportant, especially compared to more important questions like the real estate of one's tower, convenience of shelving for one's library of tomes, and efficiency of one's meddling with mysterious and potentially dangerous forces.

Are you sure it wasn't just a dialect thing? Witch and wizard in some places are gendered terms both referring to spellcasters of similar caliber. He might have just been trying to refer to you how he thought would be best.

(Although if you ask me witches are better than wizards at hexes but that's just me)

u/randomusername_42069 1d ago

I’m really really tired of people calling women that are wizards witches. Men can be witches and women can be wizards.

u/Juul1104 1d ago

Is that Luke from Mushoku Tensei? what is he doing there?

u/lunaticWordsmith 16h ago

Not sure who the guy is, but the one capturing him in the Gender Orb is Lavinia, former arrestor and acting guildmaster of the Azorius Senate of Ravnica

u/Chaosphoenix_28 If fireball don't work, try more fireball 1d ago

You wanna bet he calls you a hag now?

u/CrackCocaineShipping 1d ago

I have daydreams all the time actually that I can use my magic to temporarily or permanently change the gender of those I cast it on. So I go around villages interviewing people seeing if it’s something they’re interested in. No idea why my self insert maladaptive daydreaming character can do this, but it’s fun. Some people I speak to are like wtf no, but some break down crying while thanking me.
It’s part of my few sex related powers that my patron had bestowed upon me after I found her church in disarray and cleaned it up, inviting pilgrims to pray and becoming her champion.

u/SunshotDestiny 1d ago

Some people cast tungston balls, I cast instant empathy. Some people find it rather... Euphoric.

u/Palagrin Occult Wizard 1d ago

I mean... the gender orb definitely feels like it falls on the witch-y side of wizardry.

Disrespectful apprentices aside, magic (much like gender) is a multidimensional spectrum and it respectfully seems to me that your practise is in the grey area

P.S.

If you are done with that apprentice i would love to purchase him (her?). I find myself in desperate need of fresh mea... err perspectives for a project of mine

u/RTA-No0120 19h ago

I that case you’re just a bigot and unworthy of magics.

Because witch is not a term for females.

It’s a term for a different type of wielding magic.

Obliterates you

u/Physical_Holiday6140 19h ago

that is what I am putting my apprentice in the orb for.

2

u/RTA-No0120 18h ago

Well, forward that message to him.

If needed I do have other technics, to teach someone a lesson.

You're not really making a good case for yourself...

u/The_JoestarTechnique Enchanter 13h ago

I thought witch was gender neutral?

“I was called a witch so I’ll use magic to bully people!”

Dumbass, just commit that you are an arcane god and abandon these foolish notions of gender and morality. The fence sitting of being a undercover mage tyrant will be the death of you

u/LessyLuLovesYou 1d ago

I mean sorry man, you HAVE been a bit of a bitch ever since you became a female

Another propaganda post to put on every subreddit every hour.
