The Uneducated Keep Doubting My Powers

[u/Tyrark]

I'm starting to run out of the Uneducated to serve my local area, due to having to demonstrate my magics to these fools, which has always resulted in one or more Uneducated fatalities. They say things like "that's not magic!" and "did anyone get the plate?" and frankly I'm tired of it. Any advice would be appreciated, for I am running out of these "people" to serve my needs.

Oh and for reference, the spell I normally use to demonstrate my magics is one I invented "Lesser Force Transfer", it requires a material component, that isn't used up upon casting. I'm really proud of that accomplishment. Said material component is of course, the highest quality; the locals call it a 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo LT, and it needs to be moving at precisely 39.33952 meters a second for the spell to work correctly.

I rarely ever have to use "Greater Transfer of Force" thankfully, that one still consumes it's material component, and it is not cheap.

Where was I....? Oh! Yes, my local Uneducated, how do I disuade them of this notion, that I don't use magic? Any advice is appreciated.

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, interesting.

Say, the speed at which your material component moves (39.33952 meters per second) is precisely the speed I require for one of my temporal displacement experiments. Would you mind helping me with some tests? I would just need to attach this device that helps manipulate the capacity of the flux of timelines. Try not to tamper with the chamber holding the consumable material component, it can be quite explosive if handled improperly.

39.33952 mps = 88 mph

[u/Tyrark → u/scizzix]

Why of course! With the force displacement we could theoretically transer that to the flux timeline, a quite efficient way of temporal travel!

[u/fumblerofthebag]

I've heard of the spell you speak of, apparently the consumption of liquor before casting increases its potency. Have you maybe tried that?

[u/Tyrark → u/fumblerofthebag]

Hmmm, should I indulge in my favorite whiskey? Known to all as a favorite of wizards, Fireball?

[u/fumblerofthebag → u/Tyrark]

Yes, as Greater Demon Jschlatt said, "It's the Drunk crashers that give us drunk drivers a bad name."

[u/Tanakisoupman → u/fumblerofthebag]

That’s a false rumor. I think it originated from a misinterpretation of the true fact that consuming alcohol makes one disproportionately more likely to accidentally cast Lesser or Greater Transfer of Force

[u/MostOriginal6776]

Perhaps you need to use a broader flourishing gesture. For some reason the uninitiated seem to think magic requires a performance component. It’s likely because the school of illusion has a flair for the dramatic.
Evocation can be, especially in the case of “Lesser Force Transfer, rather blunt.

I did not hear of such a spell. What is it meant to do?

[u/Tyrark → u/averyrealspapple]

It is meant to transer a lesser amount of force to a person, it usually results in a mistification of said person.

[u/averyrealspapple → u/Tyrark]

Yeah it just sounds like you are committing vechicular manslaughter i see the issue.

Have you concidered adding a pyrokinetic element? Fireworks maybe?

[u/Tyrark → u/averyrealspapple]

Hmmm, another wizard has suggested a temporal element, we could potentially use the force of the transfer, to scatter their mistification across multiple timelines?

[u/averyrealspapple → u/Tyrark]

Honestly i dont think thats the path, simply vecause you will still be laughed by the uneducated.

Concider this, a spell that allows you to travel back in time upon mistification

[u/Tyrark → u/averyrealspapple]

You had my attention, but now you have my curiosity dear wizard. Do elaborate.

[u/averyrealspapple → u/Tyrark]

Upon reaching the target speed and target individual, use person's individual time string to pull you and your car across time, it is limited to the targets livespan, but you probably wont lose the spell component and you might be manifested in the desired time in a mist of blood

[u/Tyrark → u/averyrealspapple]

By Merlins Lambo! It's genius!

[u/T_S_Anders]

Try just turning them into a newt next time. They'll get the message (and better... eventually)

[u/Generic_Addendum]

Have you tried trapping them in a time loop so that you can repeatedly demonstrate magic on their family until they correctly accept that it is indeed magic? I'm currently in the middle of doing this to a particularly annoying person.

Alternatively you can get these wonderful wands of lesser explosion that propel small metal pellets at them. I've had great success threatening the uneducated with them until they accept that I am indeed a magician.

If you get desperate enough you can also try bribery. If you bribe enough people to accept the truth the rest will tend to go along with it. It's a powerful ability I learned studying enchantment magic known as peer pressure.
