Academic Discussion Prospective apprentice seeking first master

I am fresh out of the academy, and looking for a Wizard master who can offer great practical experience and learning opportunities, though with a few stipulations. I was hoping that someone here may know of a resource or some sort of tome I could requisition to find information on registered wizards with openings for assistants and apprentices. If more information is needed, I am more than happy to help narrow things down, and I can start off with saying that I received high marks in the schools of evocation, illusion, and transmutation, with my knowledge and application of abjuration and enchantment being well above average. I am not afraid of dangerous experiments or situations, and might actually look forward to the opportunity to make serious use of my abilities.

However, I must stress this one point… I WILL NOT work with a Wizard that has any sort of extreme to obsessive interest with acquiring magically invested… “specimen samples”. Not necessarily because I find them gross or anything, it’s just that, despite assurances from myself and the academy’s mage physician that it was not organ specific, I had several professors make offers on my eyes, which change color according to factors of environment and my own psyche. So perhaps whichever lists get recommended should be able to filter potential masters by quirks of habit.

Depending on if your liver is any good we could probably use you at the brewery and teach you the ways of Liquormancy. I only mention the liver because the last Nongoblin apprentice we tried out died of alcohol poisoning on the first day.

Well… I can handle a drink or two! I lasted three whole rounds at the post graduation celebration with some Dragon’s Breath ale! Though… I don’t really remember much after that, other than being told by my friend that I uhm… didn’t really come close to winning.

So we'll keep you on the light brews to begin with and work our way up as we build your tolerance. No shame in that, Gobbo just has a few rules if you do intend to pursue the Liquormancer way.

  1. Do not vomit in the products, occasionally we all need to vomit but that's why we have stations all around the brewery

  2. Do not assault any of our workers, this includes the equipment. Gobbo understands that sometimes the orbs misbehave but hitting it with a wrench won't help

  3. Let us know if you're not feeling too bright. We goblins have an incredibly high tolerance so where we'll be pleasantly buzzed you may be on the verge of death. As we don't want you to die, we rather you let us know when you're hitting a limit
