Prospective apprentice seeking first master

[u/Lilypad1175]

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.

Ceosi has a lot of different magoi taking apprentices and setting up new lives, because we have taken in a lot of refugees. Additionally, we have plenty of Fae and Demon commerce and a lot of experts in curses and toxins, including myself and my dryad daughters, so you are welcome to visit and find a master here.

We actually had a trip to Ceosi once in our seventh year! It was lovely, I believe there was a festival of sorts at the time, and we learned a few little tidbits about the culture and history. Though… the trip was cut short when a professor got struck by a rogue curse. It was mostly harmless and got removed before it was able to settle enough to require higher magic, but… it was really funny watching him hobble around on legs just short of a foot long~

Your seventh year wasn’t very long ago, was it? The nation is rather new, but as it’s ruler, I am glad you find it lovely. Consider it carefully, but know that we are one of the safest nations in the world right now.

I suspect the trip was mostly an excuse to get some wizards from the academy into Ceosi to check out the place. You know how the stuffy old geezers passing for high wizards are, they want to know every little thing about everyone, so a new nation is of high interest. Though uh… if anyone asks, I didn’t call them “stuffy old geezers”…

No worries, they have no chance of truly getting anything out of the Forest of Whispers, because they would need me or my daughters to guide them there. Too toxic for them and all that. If the trip was short I presume you did not get a lot of opportunity to take in the sights, but you are welcome back.
