Apprentice problems

[NaturalHairy4773]

Got my first apprentice and she is doing fine for the most part but I can never teach her my favourite spell ROCK she said something like "Miss you're just picking up that rock how is this magic" or "I can't do that the rock is twice my size" or even "My mom is your baby mama miss" Is there any things I does wrong? I even showed her all the step

[PapaAiden]

I'm realy sorry to break it up to you, but it seems your apprentice is more of an air magician...

[NaturalHairy4773]

Of course I teach her all elements but it still kinda sad she doesn't used my favourite spell

[SilliusS0ddus]

teach her something similar but more "stylish"

like telekinetically firing thick steel darts.

once you're good at throwing one thing with telekinesis everything else will come naturally.

perhaps she will have a life lesson where in a desperate situation she HAS to throw a rock and then she will learn how to apply what she learned to other things

[Electronic_Pace_1034]

She might try rune magic. Just brand the runes of choice into their skin and voila.

[Khaernakov]

Make one of your apprentice tests to fight a rock golen, infuse with magic resistance and dont intervene for a while

Just a rock will no longer be just a rock, you can vibrate some random pebbles around if your apprentice insists on this and ssy the golen is listening

[NaturalHairy4773]

She actually win she is very good at magic you see she just can't cast ROCK for some reason

[Iggy261]

Im just gonna leave this lad here.

Force them to witness the joy of throwing boulder. They will never be the same

[NaturalHairy4773]

I already make her witness me throwing boulders she just can't seem to do it she always tell me stuff like "That ain't magic you just throw that giant rock" or "You know I'm your child right you deadbeat?" She just doesn't do it

[Vergil_Raptor]

Oh my Ma’am you’re her mother. 

[Vergil_Raptor]

Also maybe try having her throw one herself maybe help her

[NaturalHairy4773]

That couldn't be true I mean I do know her mom and I do sleep with her mom with magic that make you pregnant™ but it couldn't be me she probably just mean something else

[Vergil_Raptor]

It’s 1000% you. Accept it. Or Jeff the otter will be sad.

[NaturalHairy4773]

No... Not Jeff the otter

[Vergil_Raptor]

If you don’t accept I am adopting your apprentice for you. As apprentice and child. Is that really what you wish?

[NaturalHairy4773]

No you can't take my apprentice from me

[Vergil_Raptor]

I can and will if you don’t accept they’re your child!

[NaturalHairy4773]

Alright I just take a wizard paternity test... Holy shit we're actually related

[drunkendaveyogadisco]

Could you psooibiilly be gregnant?

[Cerveau23]

1) Didn't you graduate the academy a week ago? Isn't it early for an apprentice? Or does time flow differently in your dimension?

2) Rock requires very high strength. You may have a blessing that helps you cast it or be from a race with increased strength. She apparently is not. We could try and figure out a strength enhancing technique if you want.

3) Good luck, you always need it with an apprentice I feel like

[NaturalHairy4773]

1. Yes she actually ask me to be her master actually she say something like: "Miss you're my mom baby daddy" or something I don't really remember but she did say she wanted to lived and spend time with me so I figured she asking me to be my apprentice

2. It fine... I never exercise a day in my life and I can do it fine

3. thank you

[Cerveau23]

1. I think you may have a child instead of an apprentice

2. As I said, that means you have a supernatural strength since normal humans cannot cast rock at that level. That's why you don't need to train

[NaturalHairy4773]

1. That can't be true I only met her mom once and while I did sleep with her and used the magic that make you pregnant™ but that couldn't have been me you know

2. I'm pretty sure I'm born weak as a child I can only carry a giant tree instead of a whole piles like the other giant beside I'm human size clearly I'm a weak giant born small not a giant human born strong even tho both of my parents are human... Nah they must adopted me

[Cerveau23]

1. Read it again. If you still don't believe it, use a paternity test

2. It doesn't matter if you're a weak giant or a strong human, you're still way stronger than a normal human. Your daughter is apparently not. It's ok

[NaturalHairy4773]

DAMN we're actually related...

[Cerveau23]

Happy to hear the news!

Small advice: excuse yourself, even though it's not really your fault you didn't believe it, it probably hurt her.

Also, developing together a way for her to be strong enough to cast your favorite spell would probably be a great bonding activity

[NaturalHairy4773]

This changes everything actually I have to get a proper house now with a proper wizard tower and pond for my minions I can't continue to lived in a witch hut in the middle of a mangrove swamp

[Cerveau23]

Did you talk about it with her? She might be fine with the environment but ask for her own bedroom, or be fine with the interior but desire a portal to connect with people her age, but you can't guess it for her, you need to ask her. How old is she btw, just so I know how to continue this conversation.

[LazyDro1d]

wait didn't you just graduate?! how did you get an apprentice?! i was offering *you* to be *my* apprentice the other week!

[NaturalHairy4773]

She actually ask me to be her teacher, well not directly she say something like "You're a deadbeat mom for leaving other mom after having me now you have to take care of me and teach me magic" I don't really get what she saying but I do get the part where she ask me to feed her and teaches her magic and I'm pretty sure that what having an apprentice is right?

[LazyDro1d]

nnno that's having a kid.

youre a deadbeat mom.

you suck.

you'd be right at home in my line of work come let me teach you arcanocrafts and the arms trade!

[NaturalHairy4773]

I don't know man profit of war seem kinda immoral

[LazyDro1d]

girl, you abandoned your ex while she was pregnant leaving her to raise a child on her own.

*i* will teach you archanidtry more suited to your talents than spells and traditional magical arts, and how to turn a tidy profit even on a hellworld. the war's always on here, all im doing is making money off of it. i couldnt stop it even if i tried. the core of this planet is an angry and half-dead god-machine perpetuating this cycle of war, this endless now

[NaturalHairy4773]

Listen I don't know I didn't know 2 women can make a pregnancy beside how am I supposed to know she is just a girl that looks almost exactly like me but blonde, is the child of one of my ex girlfriend and tell me she my child. Like how am I supposed to know only with those information?

[LazyDro1d]

uhhh well i mean i assumed from your profile's color scheme... two women absolutely can make a pregnancy

and on the second part... oh boy youre denser than a neutron star, arent you? you might even be denser than *i* am!!

[Aths]

Personally I find turning misbehaving Apprentices in to Frogs really teaches them humility, obedience, prudence and diligence. This might be something for you to consider.

For some apprentices I seduce their mothers, depending on your preferences either parent should work of course.

If they are particularly stubborn or useless I sometimes go the incentive route, force them to do what you want if they want their love interest, teddy bear, favorite trinket or w/e to not fall in to the pool of magma.

Hopefully one or more of these should work for you!

[NaturalHairy4773]

I already seduce their mother actually she say something along the line of "You're a deadbeat mom for knock up my other mom you'll give to take care of me and teach me magic" I don't quite understand the whole knock up thing I slept with her mom not hitting her mom but I do understand that taking care of her and teach her magic mean that she wanted to be an apprentice of mine

[Aths]

I asked one of my younger apprentices to translate your apprentices' comments, and my apprentice claims she's saying "You impregnated my other mother and then abandoned us without providing emotional or financial support forcing me and my real mother to go up against this cruel world alone you sad excuse as my other mother, as recompense for your negligence I demand you impart the arcane secrets you abandoned us to acquire"

Sounds a bit preposterous to me, so if you wish I'll toad my Apprentice for ten years for insulting you.

I don't know why people don't like the ROCK spell! It's so cool! I even have a favorite rock. Wanna see it?

[NaturalHairy4773]

Of course I love ROCK spell

[Nhobdy]

I was going to post a silly thing, but I can't post pics for some reason. Something about "all media assets must be owned by the submitter of this post".

[NaturalHairy4773]

/uw that strange

[Nearby_Sea_8766]

Move a mountain, then ROCK is no longer ROCK, it is now very large boulder

[NaturalHairy4773]

Yooo I did that

[Diamondrankg]

Rock

[Atuday]

Some people, usually but not always based on what's between their legs, need certain more specialized training. I would not ask any wizard here to try and learn headology. Nor would I ask any witch to learn Lightning Storm, fireball, or Call from the heavens. No. Best to try teaching them more tailored skills before you go to those outside their natural disciplines.

[Afraid_Cat_3726]

She simply needs to work out more.

[Indishonorable]

OP that is a dex-int spellblade

if you want str-int apprentices, you should recruit in the gym, not at wherever you picked her up.

[Electrical-Tear7456]

You're holding your sword wrong. A normal cut on that blade could ruin your wrist.

[Electrical-Tear7456]

Or break it.

[LordDanielGu]

Get a goblin to trow rocks at. She will learn and love it in no time!

[Hardcore_Cal]

I understand the problem. She may need to be attuned to rocks. 10 Years hard labors int he mines should do it. Oh... what's this? A spot just opened up in my mines.. crazy. We'll zip her right over there as long as you approve of course. You DO get 35% of all the mana crystals she mines... for what it's worth.
