[Vgray]

"Yes. I don't suppose you can turn them all into books or something?"

[IamanElfCollaborator]

"I can't interfere, necessarily. Unless some of my favoured mortals are endangered or a contract made, my hands are tied.

Blame the godly honor code."

[Empiricist]

"How many of their outposts remain here?"

[Vgray]

Twillier summons a small block of wood.

He slowly shapes it into the form of a crow, and puts it on a table.

"The greatest wizard Azeroth has ever known took the form of stormcrow you know."

[HissinhWalnuts]

Screw the honor, have some gauntlets!

[Empiricist]

"I think the greatest Archmage we have is a brick."

[IamanElfCollaborator]

True to context, a brick, wearing a wizard hat with a staff glued to it, appears.

[Vgray]

"A brick?"

[Empiricist]

"One of the deities, Sumizome apparently decided to empower a random brick with the contents of the entire Server, there is literally a brick lying around that is capable of casting every spell in existence. Thankfully, it doesn't due to its lack of sentience..."

[Vgray]

"Interesting. Who's the most powerful sentient wizard then?"

[Empiricist]

"That isn't known, few people become a pure mage as a profession and the few who do are usually shut-ins."

[Vgray]

"Not so in my world. In my world, you devote your entire life to the pursuit of gaining knowledge of the Arcane."

[Empiricist]

"Does it pay well? We just use magic in the same way we use science. The former is like loading dice. The latter is akin to card counting."

[Vgray]

"Being a mage is about...devoting your life to learning. Do you get paid to learn? Do you get paid to carve knowledge? But yes, we get paid for bending reality for those who can't. Opening portals for people is one popular pastime for a gold starved mage.

[Empiricist]

"So, I take it many mages are that sort of shut-in type then?"
