But why the cone? pyramids magic is a form a geomancy that allows a spellcaster to channel divine energy. by wearing a pointy hat the wizard is able to channel cosmic energy directly into thier brain!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExX65rG7FQg

Real talk this is why I love these forums because five minutes ago I never knew this and now some rando poster comes in and is like "oh yeah this is why" I paid $10 17 years ago and got a Bezos level investment in return

A wizard's staff has a knob on its end for a good reason. You wouldn't want to lose it in your rectum in the midst of casting a spell

Furiously masturbating onto a post-it note with the words "hot socialist goth gf" mashed together into a sigil, while envisioning myself surrounded by a purple crystalline energy merkaba. Yeah, I'm a Wizard

Magic Items one of the most important skills of a wizard is the crafting of magical items of power. these items can be used to enhance your rituals, or carried in everyday life to act as foci for magical spells! you can buy a lot of this stuff online these days, but you will get very poor magical energy from a factory produced penticle i can tell you right now. you can get good ones on etsy but obviously those are expensive. we are not becoming wizards to go broke! so you should make your own: https://www.amazon.com/Homemade-Magick-Do-Yourself-2014-08-08/dp/B01K31V7JS/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kpq87IbGNIU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7ch3mER6TA in addition to your magical weapons you should also invest in a high quality magical cloak. typically you would want an invisibility cloak, but here i will suggest something off the beaten path. and angel summoning cloak has a lot of possibilities! https://www.academia.edu/31399093/Sefer_ha_Malbush_The_Book_of_the_Garment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utM3yuJrWQg Potion Making a wizard traditionally supports himself by making potions for the less enlightened or skilled. these potions can have a range of effects from healing to making someone fall in love. here are some simple potions you can make https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txm7eu8KxVI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Do61ymNMe4

The term chaos magic is really dumb. It's entirely based on achieving specific results with your magic using unique sigils or symbols. So... where's the chaos? Shouldn't chaos magic be completely unpredictable and subject to wild changes? Diogenes is the true pioneer of chaos magic. I practice chaos magic by furiously masturbating in public while singing Wesley Willis songs.

I will confess, lately at work one of the really really important machines has been loving up in a way no maintenance guy can justify (software glitch of some sort) and I have recently taken to doodling vaguely magical-looking sigils on post-it notes and slapping them on the POS when it's being especially uncooperative. As someone who is generally a fan of science and rational skepticism, it irritates me that, faced with a problem that defies any rational or scientific analysis or solution, that I find myself resorting to superstitious mysticism just for some peace of mind and reassuring ritual. It irritates me even more when this process has a distressingly high success rate.

Shouldn't chaos magic be completely unpredictable and subject to wild changes? in chaos magick the is the wizard who is full of chaos! you see many spells work best when you believe in certain things. Like you need to believe in certain gods or some specific spirit or jesus or something. a master of Chaos Magick can alter themselves so they become a christian or some other religion temporarily in order to invoke the true power of that particular god. you might think this would piss off a lot of deities. you would be right, so it best to stick to jerking off onto sigils until you are a higher level wizard

As someone who is generally a fan of science and rational skepticism, it irritates me that, faced with a problem that defies any rational or scientific analysis or solution, that I find myself resorting to superstitious mysticism just for some peace of mind and reassuring ritual. my outlook and faxes used to, but no longer, get along. I can still get into the faxes but in order to do so I must enact a ritual as well: 1. open the fax folder. Outlook will tell me there is nothing to see. 2. right click the fax folder and select Properties. Outlook will act as if it is working to do this, then die. 3. restart Outlook, and reopen the fax folder. Outlook will now do the computer program equivalent of rolling its eyes back in its head, twisting its neck until it's facing backwards, and so on 4. wait this out. eventually the folder will load in and actually display faxes. there will be a wait of at least 15-30 seconds before any of them open though while Outlook half-asses the demonic possession/overly dramatic baby routine again fortunately I work in fedgov so even though I'm a call center rep generally nobody expects things to work smoothly anyway, and the overly dramatic baby routine never takes longer than it would have taken to get a fax in the first place

Shouldn't chaos magic be completely unpredictable and subject to wild changes? to be quite honest with you a lot of magic terminology is seriously outdated. it would be like if we never came up with new names for standardized measurements and just called meters staves or some poo poo. in actuality it has to do with managing quantum states and poo poo. light from the sun for example is a type of naturally occurring chaos magic

I'm a Dex-based gish build and select my spells from the sorcerer/wizard spell list but only from the Enchantment, Transmutation, and Conjuration Schools. I, who am but a single man, man do the job of both an above-average fighter and support mage (but most of my support will be going to myself ).
