[He laughs.]

No, that was just shit aim.

[Teleport is a risky spell and he's uhhhh quite flippant with it, whoops.]

It sounds stupid as shit when you put it that way, but you're not wrong. Technically. It's more like... When wizards learn magic, they learn by spell. It's like following a recipe or, I don't know, reading sheet music. My magic isn't sorted into individual spells, so it's like I'm learning songs by ear. It's trial and error. So, generally speaking, sorcerer magic is more powerful and more malleable, but you're more likely to fuck something up because you learned by feel instead of through a set of instructions. And because stronger magic is more difficult to control. Wizards don't have the flexibility that sorcerers do, but they can learn more spells because they can just fucking drum up a spellbook to remember how to cast shit. That doesn't really work for me.

[Even though he moonlighted as a wizard there for a few minutes. It was bad and he did not like it and he still can't work with a fucking spellbook.

Give him a sec, though, he's snorting at her last question.]


Sort of. The plant thing only lasts about a minute. You're aware enough, but the transformation is jarring as shit. By the time you get your bearings, you're a person again.
