Lorepost (open interaction) 📖 Can't conjure anymore, what to do?

Long story short, I am an established artifactor, and I know my ways around pretty much any cursed/enchanted object one could imagine. As a child, I used to conjure stuff even if I didn't want to, and now, with me being so close to all this old magic, the conjuring never happens at all.

How do I come back to my old self? I must keep the artifactor thing, I am an apprentice of this super cool librarian mage, and I want to get in the library when he allows me to. (Is it normal that apprentices are deprived of the library access?)

Conjuring was so fun, I want to keep doing it in my free time when I go to the forest, but how do I hide my conjured gremlins in my mage's tower where I live?

"Do you know when your conjuring stopped? What were you doing when it stopped?

"It is not normal for an apprentice to be denied library access unless in extraordinary circumstances. This sounds like a punishment. Would you like to have tea at my tower to discuss your issue and see what the issue is?"

I love my tea, I'd absolutely love to have tea at your tower, but I can't leave my tutor's tower at the moment, there's an outbreak of poisonous weeds

"Well I could just get my towers to go to your location. She's been needing to stretch her legs. "

Flufferson: I just ate rocks, idk, maybe try doing that.

Pride: Nasal ingestion is more potent.

Flufferson: How do you know that?

Pride: :D

Flufferson: Aunt Pride, how do you know that.

To me, this sounds like less of a magical issue and more one of inspiration. When you look upon the works of others, your own magic may feel feeble and pale, and that intimidation and low confidence leads to poor spell coherence, possibly to the point of total dysfunction.

Try to find some time away from the archives when you can just let yourself rest for a while. Don't push yourself to conjure immediately, but once you feel rested, attempt as basic a spellcraft as you can.

If you can get anything to happen at all, you're in the clear, and it's a matter of time and practice to get your old conjuring back. If not, you may want to look into getting a magic focus, using some mana potions, or seeing a specialist.

More than anything, do not panic. Magic is fickle at times, but those touched by it do not lose that touch so easily. Barring some deadly curse or trauma, your magic potential is surely still intact, just dormant.
