What kind of Wizard, Magician, Warlock, or Witch would you want to be?

I know EXACTLY what I would do but I'm not going to tell you cause you'd steal my cool sick idea and try to be like "yeah I'd do that too."

Go ahead post yours and maybe when I close the thread I'll tell you all my slick cool idea.

I'd probably build a sick wizard lair/tower in the mountains by my city. I'd have an awesome talking familiar that I would use as my envoy like a great horned owl or a jaguar or something.

If I was, like, the only wizard then I would take over the world & kill anyone who disagreed with me. I'd probably end up being Chairman Mao type evil.

Like I said in our world. YOu guys would need to buy land, get contractors to build that tower, and that costs money. You better have a job. I'd imagine it would be regulated and require licenses and safety courses too.

Also you're not the only wizard so no taking over the world because no one else has it. Imagine we alll live in the same world and posters from GBS for some reason get the magical powers.

I'm pretty confident that I would be the most powerful wizard. And even if there are more wizards than just me, I disagree with the idea that I would need to go through mundane channels to construct my tower. I would magic it into existence and dare anyone to tell me I can't.

So you would be using some kind of Conjuring powers? Are you saying you'd be a conjuror? That'd be taxing and require resources to still summon. You can't get something for nothing! You'd probably need at least some high quality gems and gold to convert into the tower.

What kind of magic? Harry Potter magic where some people are just born literally superior and capable of expressing something plebs aren't, and this somehow lends itself to an odd anachronistic way of life that's frankly a bit shittier than what we have?

Is it A Song Of Ice And Fire magic where it's all symbolism obsidian-kills-ice-demons, fire kills ice zombies, but the good guys are secretly bad guys and loving _nobody_ understands how the magic actually works and it's probably all an effortless expression of a malevolent fat Diety locked in an eternal struggle with his suspenders?

Is it a more egalitarian force anyone can manipulate, like can I read a spell that lets me siphon energy from a crystal and blast it into the skull of my foes?

Can I be Gohan?

These are the questions you gotta answer before I can discusss the particualrs.

No, pretty much all it requires is some arcane knowledge and finger wiggling.

Gohan / Goku really aren't magicians though they use martial arts. I suppose you could argue chi and stuff is magic though so if you wanted to be some kind of chi wizard sure.

Harry potter is dumb and stupid to smoke, but if you wanna be some lameoid with a wand that requires a wand and magic words you could probably perform at children's birthday parties.

You madman.


You guys all have these lofty dreams.

Let me tell you what the life of a real magic user would be like.

I went to school for as a guise of a cleric but in reality I dabbled in necromancy and used the practice cadavers they gave us as animated zombies and skeletons to do my bidding.

When I graduate top of my class I pay off my student loans by playing video games 24/7 while my crew of zombies, ghouls, and skeletons work jobs IRL for me. They don't need food, insurance, or anything just do menial labor jobs for me like work fast food, and graveyard security shifts. (Heh graveyard)

I'd research a phylactery on the side so eventually I could make myself some immortal lich that lives for millions of years and can continue to just chill and play video games while my workforce does what I command it to.


I mean we got grlllbones thinking you can just make anything from nothing. Someone doesn't even know what reagents are Clearly they got sucked into going to like Dumbledore University or some poo poo.
