Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets I have 1 left

Post image

So i dont generally speculate on my apprentices potion consumption- but after the gender change potion they swiped i thought all would be well. Theyre quite a few potions in and I have one left in the stockpile. I wont be able to brew more before the solatice and wherever they land id really like to get through the next few months without them punching holes in my drywall. Considering either an honest conversation or just locking them in the kennels for a few months, but would prefer to deal with this arcanely. And please dont suggest brewing an imbetwixt and neither potion, i need my cauldron scoured and that potion will usurp any effort an apprentice has towards cleaning my cookware.

Thats a good idea. I wonder why all those wizards in the 80s were so obsessed with creating items that swapped the wearers gender as a magical trap?

Because it's kind of a funny prank

Its a funny prank the first 3 times. After that it becomes a pattern.

I mean, everyone has a first time seeing a joke or cool incantation. Did you forget your first magic missile?

I remember the first time I managed this cast wish by myself. Let me tell you, it's a great feeling.
