second of my art trades with @silusvesuius, cousin-ified Neloth and Talvas were SO fun to draw. Really activiating my animator deep training lol

[k-im-lost]

I gave Neloth a bonita braid in his beard. You can hardly see it, but it's there.

Slitter is a bitch and I only added him because of my hate for him. He's not babygurl like the rest.

He's a DOG.

Mogrul's dog

Archmagister Neloth,

It is well-known that being a Telvanni Apprentice is the best magical education anyone in Tamriel could hope to achieve. Is there a formalized application process to become an apprentice to a Telvanni Wizard? Are there prerequisites? What sort character and personality traits make one successful as a Telvanni apprentice?

Hello, um…citizen! Thank you so much for submitting your inquiry! Master Neloth felt as though this question would be best delegated to me. 

My name is Talvas Fathryon, and I’ve been Master Neloth’s apprentice here at Tel Mithryn for about seven years. (Seven…long years). Yes, there was an application process…kind of. I don’t know if I’d call it ‘formal’. I first wrote to Master Neloth asking if he was accepting apprentices and received no response. Then, I just showed up in person to ask instead. He told me that he could sense that my magicka pool was sufficient, but that I was too weak-willed to be his apprentice. (Haha he always tells it like it is!) I asked him how I might strengthen my Will, and he simply said: one cannot fill a teacup that is already full. Then he told me to get out of his tower or else he’d have me defenestrated.

So! I devoted the next year of my life to strengthening my Will, mostly through concentration exercises—meditation, memorizing spellforms, visualization—standard practices, for the most part. I thought about his riddle a lot and how it applied to everything I’d learned so far, and that’s how I solved it: I had to let go of everything I’d learned so far. So, when I returned to Tel Mithryn a year later and told him that I was ready to re-learn the ways of Magnus as an empty teacup, he accepted me as his first apprentice in over two decades.  

I’d say if you want to be a successful apprentice, especially under someone like Master Neloth, you have to be able to take criticism (and not take it personally). A lot of people think Master Neloth is mean, and…well, he is. He’s very mean. But most of the time he isn’t mean in a dishonest way, if that makes sense. Everything he says has some form of truth or logic to it. So you have to hear what he’s saying beyond the usual insults. 

Secondly, I think you need to have a high pain tolerance. I won’t elaborate.  Anyways, I hope this was helpful! I’m aiming to become a Journeyman here soon, so he may be taking on new apprentices! If you decide to apply…good luck.
