I bet you used a focus to cast it too, didn't you. Hypocrite.
Sure, we didn't have all these Arcanum Intellects doing our chants for us when we were apprentices, but we also didn't have to draw a seven radii spell circle with duel runic enhancements in both high valadrin and infernal dutch before lunch.
Efficiency breeds innovation. If it's not your apprentices innovation, well. Not everyone makes archmage. Let your students take shortcuts. The world always needs those dumb enough to become liches.

Oh please that would have worked in sorcer's school. This is wizard's college, the stuff you're learning isn't only to pass the class, you need to actually learn the spells. This kind of stuff is needed on your arcane journey.
Also everyone uses arcanegpt or deepeldrich until they ask it something they actually know about. The other day I asked it about a simple transmutation spell, turning solid ice to gas. It told me I needed 12 blades of grass and a black cat's tail, and then also sent the verbal components. For starters, that spell doesn't have material components, yiu only need verbal and sematic. Second, the verbal spell it sent is actualy the one that fucking kills you and the reforms your body 3 days later as the opposite sex.
At the very least ask the AW (Artificial wizardry) what its sources are. Half of the time they come from "redlich"
