“Oh, having magic is great. Having magic is a cheat code to the universe. But actually using magic is five hours meticulously following every step of an excruciatingly repetitive ritual, and then it turns out your crystals had too many impurities, or you didn’t measure right to where the ley line was, and you have to start all over. No matter what you choose to do for your magic, you will hate it, and that hate will spill over to everything remotely related.”
“Have you ever met a sex mage? They can barely stand to look at dicks anymore. And every consumption mage I’ve ever met had an eating disorder. Pain already sucks. I don’t want to feel pain. So I’m not ruining something I would have liked.”
