thinking about how caleb's experience with teachers prior to essek was literal torture and abuse and indocrination. and despite this he finds joy in magic. and essek looks at that joy and fosters it through mutual creativity and a love of the craft. what if i threw up!!

Happy wip whenever!!! Have more wizard losers and because I think it would be fun:
Sweet Bite of the Endless Night: a salacious rare gem of a novel by Matilda Merceria. Details a hot whirlwind of a romance between a bastard’s son of an empire royal sent away to the dynasty and taken as a ward to a member of a semi notable fictional den. Far less racist and surprisingly well informed, this novel does not many copies in print and banned by the empire, and not well known in the dynasty. Caleb found it in a smut bookstore in Port Damali
Practical Applications of Advanced Transmutative Matrices Vol 4-6: A collection of journals compiled by the Aydinlan Seminary. Very Dense. Very Dry. Only two wizard nerds could find this sexy.
An Iconoclast’s Treatise: The Necessity of Objectivity in Potentiality: authored by one E.Thelyss. It was his first solo publication, he published it in common rather than undercommon to make a statement. In Esseks opinion he was young, brilliant, and thought himself invincible. This publication however, taught him just how much he was under his Umavi’s thumb and by extension the dynasty. It was promptly banned from the Marble Tomes and largely buried from the dynasty’s record. It’s a bad face for the Shadowhand after all. However he still has fondness for that old work, it was well written after all.
Have a suggestion? Put them in the tags! (I love y’all’s tags. I see all of them 🫶🫶)

Love that "okay okay okay" was either a Caleb thing that Liam picked up from playing Caleb or a Liam thing that translated so perfectly to Caleb
Either way was kind of jarring to hear it coming from Orym

do you ever think about how physically affectionate caleb gets when he's genuinely excited/at ease enough to let his guard down? we see it mostly with nott/veth early on in the campaign, with molly when he's kinda out of it in hupperdook. like, it makes me wonder what he would've been like if he'd gotten to grow up without trent's mind games blowing up his life.
