I'm a big fan of wizards-as-programmers, but I think it's so much better when you lean into programming tropes.

A spell the wizard uses to light the group's campfire has an error somewhere in its depths, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. The wizard spends a lot of his time trying to track down the exact conditions that cause the failure.

The wizard is attempting to create a new spell that marries two older spells together, but while they were both written within the context of Zephyrus the Starweaver's foundational work, they each used a slightly different version, and untangling the collisions make a short project take months of work.

The wizard has grown too comfortable reusing old spells, and in particular, his teleportation spell keeps finding its components rearranged and remixed, its parts copied into a dozen different places in the spellbook. This is overall not actually a problem per se, but the party's rogue grows a bit concerned when the wizard's "drying spell" seems to just be a special case of teleportation where you teleport five feet to the left and leave the wetness behind.

A wizard is constantly fiddling with his spells, making minor tweaks and changes, getting them easier to cast, with better effects, adding bells and whistles. The "shelter for the night" spell includes a tea kettle that brings itself to a boil at dawn, which the wizard is inordinately pleased with. He reports on efficiency improvements to the indifference of anyone listening.

A different wizard immediately forgets all details of his spells after he's written them. He could not begin to tell you how any of it works, at least not without sitting down for a few hours or days to figure out how he set things up. The point is that it works, and once it does, the wizard can safely stop thinking about it.

Wizards enjoy each other's company, but you must be circumspect about spellwork. Having another wizard look through your spellbook makes you aware of every minor flaw, and you might not be able to answer questions about why a spell was written in a certain way, if you remember at all.

Wizards all have their own preferences as far as which scripts they write in, the formatting of their spellbook, its dimensions and material quality, and of course which famous wizards they've taken the most foundational knowledge from. The enlightened view is that all approaches have their strengths and weaknesses, but this has never stopped anyone from getting into a protracted argument.

Sometimes a wizard will sit down with an ancient tome attempting to find answers to a complicated problem, and finally find someone from across time who was trying to do the same thing, only for the final note to be "nevermind, fixed it".

i love how the narrators of the locked tomb series are like:

gideon: is not paying attention

harrowhark: has brain damage

nona: was born six months ago

we love variety in our unreliable narrators

No one asked for this but I wanted to draw what Emilie might have looked like with the peacock miraculous. I made her color scheme a lot less dark because she’s not a villain or anti hero and her transformation wasn’t used for fighting so I took the liberty of making it more fashionable than practical.

It's nice to see that they're following what is also my number one rule for being in Switzerland, which is: Whenever possible, take the train from Göschenen to Andermatt and/or back. The line is short, it has frequent trains, the trains are mostly empty, it's incredibly steep, it has a cog wheel system, it gives some great views of a deep river gorge, and it's a great way to get in some Swiss narrow gauge railroading in a very short amount of time. It also connects the midpoints of two of Switzerland's most famous railway lines (although since it connects the midpoints you'll probably end up missing it on most Swiss train journeys, ironically). Highly recommended.

Well, it’s not Lille, but we did at least get a nice location cameo in the finale :)

The life of the Jet Lag guys would be so much easier if they were even bigger train nerds. Like, if you have to guess which of three people is Austrian, Italian and Swiss, the one in an Austrian train station with an Austrian train behind her, that's a very solid hint if you know the ÖBB Cityjet livery.

Things I like about this decal on a restaurant window: -the insane orange waiter -that he’s carrying his plates in the air like a strongman -the couple looks like this isn’t the first time he’s done this, but it’s easier to just let it happen at this point. -the sign says PASTA as if he’s screaming it like a frankenstein -but he’s holding a plate of an entire chicken and a plate of wine glasses -there’s three wine glasses -one’s for him.
