one time a dude came into the pet store I worked at and bought nine dollars worth of dog treats with a 100 dollar bill that had clearly been made from green construction paper. when I hesitated and ran it through all the methods of testing we had (it failed all of them) he asked for my manager. she had been shitty with me all morning, and came to the register in a huff, grabbed it from me, slammed it in the register and told me to “just do my job.” this dude and I are looking at each other, both of us 100% aware that he’s getting 90 dollars from me in exchange for a piece of construction paper that had been cut a little crooked, and he’s just smiling at me and I’m standing there, overworked and tired, getting paid minimum wage, which, it turns out, is not enough to speak up any further, so I just said fuck it. When I got to work the next day there were cops there to inform us we were the fourth or fifth shop on the road to get hit by the same guy. My manager was going HOGWILD. I just looked at her like

I do love the way dnd wizards are so often basically doomed by the very nature of their class.

Sorcerers draw upon inherited magic for casting and all else. Usually passed down along their bloodline and sometimes gifted to them, the magic is innate. It's an intrinsic part of the very essence of who & what they are. To achieve deeper understanding of the power available to them, they have to search within for a better understanding of themselves, an inward journey of self discovery.

Warlocks are granted magic by their patrons, often in some sort of deal or pact. The potential and limits of their magic is determined by their patrons, their relationship, and perhaps the fine print of their initial agreement. To expand their power, they have to work in partnership with their patron, whether that means earning rewards or negotiating new deals.

But Wizards are academics. Their power is learned through study and exploration. To progress, they have to be the best student, the hardest working, the most diligent, the most ambitious. They have to want "it" more than their peers. They have to push boundaries again and again. They have to pursue esoteric knowledge and magic that may be unsafe or unstable with no reference, but they won't know until it goes wrong.

So they're taught that nigh constant quests for knowledge and continual growth is good, it's what's expected, what's necessary. So where are they supposed to stop? Where is the limit? If there is one, would they even recognize it after being trained--even raised--to continually surpass previous limits? How are they supposed to see & understand and accept that those last 15 "limits" were "good" to surpass but THIS one isn't?

And if they do recognize that, will they adhere? Will they be humble and satisfied and settle down to a life with the magic they've already mastered? Score some sweet tenure so they never have to do research ever again?

No!!! They're predisposed and doomed to endless hunger and hubristic downfall by their own mentors and the lives they lead and the very nature of their acquired power.

They're all fucked and I find that so sexy of them.
