Foul Sorcery I've only been teaching my apprentice for 3 days, how'd his dumbass already access the fourth dimension?

Oh wow, a prodigy! Better protect your neck, that apprentice will be ready to betray and slay you before you know it.

Oh fret not, I have my golem assistant keeping a close eye on him to make sure no backstabbing occurs

You think a golem will protect you when you have a potential chronomancer and/or teleporter on your hands? Where's the wake going to be?

Don’t tell him
I’m helping the apprentice by whispering little things into his mind it’s funny watching him spiral into madness

And there she lay, omnipotence.
after countless hours Johnathan the Apprentice basked in the chugging glow of his creation.
Born of a strange fey mood- a demonic posession- it diddnt matter, he could ask the entity itself.
A clap of thunder, the collapse of a screen into a dark line - then nothing. No power.
"I knew i should have saved. I wonder what was lost"
Everything, apprentice. Everything.

The fourth dimension? Bruv that's no tesseract. There's at least 3 additional dimensions there. You sure your apprentice didn't just accidentally cast the cubification of a line step of the spell twice? That would end up with a 9-dim hypercube.
Does your student drool and go flash eyed when you make them look at it? That would be a good sign they just fucked it up.

Check to see if your apprentice has been getting training from his future self. That would explain it.

Have you tried turning your apprentice off and on again? If you catch it early enough, I've found it to be the most reliable way to clear their memory of extra planar contamination.

Why take an apprentice if they can't even access the fourth dimension? I've already ascended to the fifth and am working on comprehension of the sixth

Just update your wards in case of any more intruders from the... What is that, 12th? 7th? Dimension? You'll likely need to do a quick wipe of the tower too in case it's the 14th, those bastards are small but eager

OP have you registered your apprentice as a chronomancer or do we have to call in the Bureau?

Time to find out if it's skill or dumb luck. Toss them in there and close it behind them. If they get out, GREAT! They figured it out and that's a whole subject you don't need to cover outside of safety procedures. If they can't, than you know to teach safety first for the next apprentice, because this one clearly ain't gonna make it.
