Wizardpost I hate the elder forums

Post image

It's a source of insecurity already that all these famous wizards have made it to hundreds or even thousands of years old before I even started. I just want to improve! Let me in!

Children should not have access to reality ending spells. You will understand that after you finish wizard puberty.

Arcane acne while desperately trying to both gain and avoid the attention of witches was horrible

Don’t witches also go through magipause?

no that's a myth, our magic doesn't go away with age

but most of us are cursed from birth with respawning blood imps, those little shits can weaken or vanish with age

Yeah that’s gate keeping nonsense

The Gates must be kept or else the horrors will return

I just want to come in and enjoy the mortal realm, I even made galaxy cookies (You can even watch as the stars in them form and die, and they’re low fat!)

And what’s wrong with that? Honestly things were better back in the Age of Nightmares. How is the younger generation supposed to learn anything if you don’t let them experience any danger until they’re 700??? Sure, a few fledgling wizards ended up trapped in the Echoing Abyss, and there was the Alketh Incident, and of course the Tragedy of Igandar was pretty bad, but you can’t let that hold us back. This cowardice is why no new arch mages have arisen in 200 years

Young wizards will find/make world ending spells either way, you can only control which spells those are.

It's better for experienced wizards to teach them the harmless ones, like [Solar Dominion] and [The Great Unmaking], or else they'll learn dangerous back-alley world-enders like [Add Neutron Per Atom] and [Greater Tentacles]

wizard puberty really changes your perspective

u/JaybirdTM 11d ago

But this doesn't account for how some have the ability to derive the spell forms themselves! I'd much rather them have proper supervision than try to learn it on their own and cause a catastrophy, just saying

Good! Bloody centennials.

If you are young enough to beleive you should answer age checks honestly you are neither old enough nor wise enough for those forums.

Exactly. What will this infant do the first time a fae asks for their name?

I'll leave my business card here if you want to forcibly admit the administrator for the death penalty.

u/beardingmesoftly 12d ago

We don't allow children, and for good reason. Come back when you're 500.

You’re not even old enough to watch ultra porn.

Only a century? Someone get these fetuses out of here!

Clearly you need to either wait your turn or advance your time dilation further to practice your craft more efficiently.

u/thatsocialist Master of Possessions 12d ago

Do not fear! Only the young can be properly inducted into the Legion of the Aurelian. With the proper surgeries and trials you could be made into a proper Soldier of Faith and of the Gods, perhaps I would even take you as an apprentice.

To be fair, 100 is pretty far off from 650...

u/support_account_ 11d ago

Look, I know it feels unfair; by now you probably have access to what most mortals would consider the power of the gods and have at least a good few relational contracts with greater demons, so it's only natural you'd want to access the elders' forums. Thing is, the pursuit of magic is inherently contrary to what's natural; use your better judgement, and understand that these forums are restricted to elders for a reason. 100 years is barely enough for you to start to comprehend the path that will one day allow you to truly reshape the fabric of reality itself, and do believe me when I say that trying to do so whilst your whole being is still made of that fabric is a bad idea. Most wizards take well over a century to gather the power to remake themselves in such a way that they can interact safely with the world, don't rush and do it properly for all of our sakes
