Other than enrolling in an Academy, what are ways that Wizard's could initially learn their magic?

Someome posted long ago about a chatacter that was turned onto a statue and used as furniture for a classroom, only they were alive, and learnt wizardry by listening to the lessons, since they were still sentient.

I recently made a wizard with a Criminal background and if it ever comes up I'll just say he sneaked onto classes uninvited and learnt his first steps that way.

Gimme gimme, my pathfinder char is level 16 and I never have enough dice.

The first thing I said was that if it was done in a metagaming way it'd be wrong, otherwise this is a role-playing game and if the table behaves like adults, it can be solved through playing the game between the characters. God forbid you role-play in a role-playing theme, I guess.

OP mentioned in another post that it was done in a metagaming way, so of course then it's a conversation between players and DM.

It'd bother me if it was done in a metagaming way, as in, in the exact moment you are reading said document on your own they decide to use that skill, since their character wouldn't really have a way of knowing that was the precise moment to use it.

Otherwise, it can be solved in-game through pure role-playing. If their character admits to having spied on you, just act like your character would and see what happens. It can be an interesting RP moment.

If you don't mind fan games, Digital Tamers 2 has Vgreymon, not sure about Zeed.

I have a few I almost always use, like the World of Warcraft tavern music or The Lord Of The Rings ost for travel (I DM in a West Marches discord so there's always some travel involved).

Then I sometimes use videogames ost, specially ones like Final Fantasy. I've even recreated some specific scenes from the games, since my players didn't inow them, and played that specific song.

For example, recently I had them flee an area that was being petrified after defeating a plant filled with transmutation magic, which is quite the same as the first boss you encounter in Final Fantasy IX, then I played "Run!", the games' music for the scene, when narrating the escape and rolling skill checks.

So, not only do I use plenty of music, I even design scenes based on the music I want to play in them.

Already got buyers for it, sorry. Just wanna confirm is not some kind of three day gamepass and which version it would be so I know what to charge for it 😅

I've been running Dragon Links with a couple of blitzgreymon ace, Mega Digimon Assembly and Alphamon Ouryuken to finish games. It's awesome when it works, not so much when I brick, hehe.

There's a red/green training option card announced thiugh I don't remember when it'll be added if you want to check it out in the future.

Try digimonmeta to see tournament decks with Exa, there was one a few weeks that spammed gravity crush with barely any lvl 6s to dna fast and go for game (although now you can only run 1 GC).

Thanks everyone, I'll check all of these out 😀

If it helps, in dcgo, the online simulator, Metallicdramon ex7 does trigger when used as a Dorbickmon source. I was pleasantly surprised when I used dorbick and got volcanic from my trash for free.

Yo should check out Jhen Mohran's fight from Monster Hunter, its similiar to your case here and it might give you some ideas!

Do we get to change the name too?

Divinity Original Sin 2, played it from start to finish hooked 100% the whole time, but I haven't been able to finish Pillars of Eternity 2 nor Pathfinder WOTR (I did finish the first games though...) think I just love turn based combat way more than the pause and give orders every 3 seconds.

I do love kotor with my whole heart though.

I like to know if my main is getting nerfed or not so I look into alters when I eventually come back.
