I love that witch society is inaccessible even for Beldaruit

And by "love" I mean in the literary sense, in that it's an excellent depiction of how systemic ableism works.

Beldaruit is privileged in a lot of ways! Being able to know about magic at all is a privilege. He is one of the three wise. He has personal and political power akin to royalty in this world. His sealchair is much more complex and advanced than Custas' (and, mind you, even the barebones version is prohibitively expensive/difficult to replace).

But when the girls are passing their test, one of the spells they use is to widen the stairway... because even Beldaruit can't move around the Great hall normally. He has to use smoke-sculpture copies to get most places and talk to people. This is the heart of their society, this is the place that should have everything a witch could ever want, and one of their three most powerful members can't move around it freely.

The hall could have been build with wide passages and spiraling ramps. But it wasn't. (This is often true in real life too- building something to be accessible from the get-go isn't hard, it's converting or altering something that becomes complicated or expensive). But even if they didn't think of that when the Hall was first built, someone could have done something once Beldaruit was one of the three wise. Considering a group of teenagers could come up with the spell that widened the hallway, it can't actually have been highly advanced.

But nobody did. Not necessarily out of malice, but because nobody thought to. It's one of the core ways ableism persists, and it's something that WHA constantly returns to as a theme, and even has some characters like Tartah say explicitly. The accommodations that would make life better for people aren't necessarily hard to do, but unless a person struggles with the barrier themselves, or pays attention to others who do, they never cross people's minds or go long overlooked.

I feel like we should address the fact that Beldaruit straight up runs a daycare in his free time

Like... just look at this. I'd call it a respectable side hustle but I don't think he's even paid for it.

And yes this is likely a smoke sculpture of Beldaruit, but remember that smoke sculptures aren't like Naruto shadow clones, Beldaruit actually needs to interact through his mini gate window.

We even see adult witches that look like the kids' parents dropping them off in the background! The comedic potential of going up to a Wise and just... leaving your kid in his care. This man, mind you, is one of the three most important people among your kind, and he's out there in a park reading stories for the kids.

Also, imagine this: a kid goes like, mama why can't we play with Lord Bel today? And their mother's like, I told you how a giant leech attacked the capital a few days ago right? He's busy dealing with that. Gramps' got paperwork to do.

one of my favourite bits of qifrey’s characterisation is that he was a right little shit as beldaruit’s apprentice. literally the great hall’s problem child. that little fucker was running off every chance he got AND bel’s in a goddamn magic wheelchair! he needed one of those backpack leashes for that kid fr

[mustacheddragon]
