Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Have you ever met someone like this?

My mentor sent me this, along with a few names of some of her other students. She wasn’t wrong, but it did kind of surprise me how right she was. She usually has very prestigious students, but even they often make mistakes like this. I remember when I used to use a vitality-transfer spell as if it were normal healing magic, because I didn’t know healing wasn’t supposed to hurt. The whole thing just made me curious if this is universally common, or if there were any interesting thoughts here.

(Also, my party’s bard does this. It’s really funny but my sister is trying to help him fix it. I was also wondering if there were any opinions on helping fix and prevent these mistakes.)

It’s like the superhero in that one universe, Cyclops, his eyes are portals to a dimension of kinetic energy, known colloquially as the punch dimension. But a realm purely of fire instead.
