    I don’t need no damn pageboy when I can magic up a golem that can do the same job!

    Page boys who complain about losing their jobs to magic are just luddites anyway.

    Eye of newt can go. Most recipes can use an eye of frog to pretty much the same effect. And they are also a lot cheaper.

      Eh, eye of frog tastes terrible though and due to size thickens the mixture. Can’t even just use less as that throws off the cornea to iris ratio.

      Sure, if effects all you care about, go at it. Some of us are craftsmen though.

      Owl cats gotta go. Love them but they’re just a companion. I have a thousand rats to keep me company.

      Can’t lose blood magic, can’t have blood magic without page boy, ancient scroll has that sweet wrinkle, nah owl cats where it’s at

        If you cannot add some other stuff like simple sugar or quartz energised coal to improve the taste you just don’t deserve to brew.

        I also mostly distill my potions and then powderise them and compress into capsules. Take them with water. Improves shelf life and storability.

        I guess owl cats can also go. If you cannot make a 3d area of effect spell to just nuke any rodents especially the flying rats you are a subpar wizard.

          With all this newfangled nonsense I’m surprised you didn’t pick ancient scroll or the orb like that other loser.

          Or should I say poser. Wizard Pope my ass mole.

          I’m a traditionalist and here you are suggesting I kill my 1000 rats? Ha, can’t even bend the minds of rodents to assist you in your craft. Rats are friends, not filth.

          Run along now with your microdose potions and pumpkin spice hex concoctions. I’ll be here unlocking the depths of concious while enjoying the natural taste of a craft you could never achieve

            Well bending their minds is not the issue whan you need them. The issue is when you don’t need them.

            They make a mess and you have to make sure they are fed or they will destroy your lab. Constantly controling them gets exhausting. And don’t talk about you proprietary mind control stones. They never work as advertised and just lose connection so you have to restart the whole mind controll process on some rats.

            Just more hassle than it’s worth honestly.

      Hard agree. Blood Magic is just mystical credit card debt. You have to pay a some point.

        You have to pay a some point.

        Someone has to pay for it, not necessarily you. You can get all kinds of blood, sometimes even consensually!
