KUKA HAAS, MANUFACTURING WIZARD
Commissioned from Ziruka (@rukafais) during her Wizard Sale - it ends on December 31st, so if you want one for yourself, move fast! They did a great job, I'm really happy with the art.
This is the MANUFACTURING WIZARD, otherwise known as Kuka Haas! It formed one day in an industrial plant, and has been exploring ever since. Spells include SUMMON STOCK ALUMINUM and SENTIENT FORKLIFT.

It's so cute that Gale pays a sorcerer Tav/Durge a compliment about their magic:
For reference - this is the line a cleric gets:
#gale dekarios#gale of waterdeep#gale#galemance#tav x gale#gale x tav#galetav#my posts#bg3#all of them people who manufacture some imaginary rivalry between their sorc and Gale - it's one sided on their sorc part#that's it#I'm sorry to break it to y'all but gale does know more about magic and was more skilled with magic than your previously a nobody sorc tav#so the overblown ego is not so much on the wizard's part as much on the sorc in that scenario

✨ Turned some of my artwork into physical prints! ✨
I don't have an online shop or anything, but if any of these designs caught your eye, you can either:
Donate $10 over on my Boosty (here), or
DM me a recent (!) receipt for an eSIM for Palestine (guide here if you need it)
— and I'll mail you these beauties right away.
And don't forget to DM me on Tumblr or Discord (goopi_e) first if you're interested~.

Hello again,
Thank you for explaining nature and ecosystems for me. It is fascinating how every organism makes an impact on the world around it. While factories and assembly lines can be very complicated, it looks like nature is infinitely more so.
As a token of my appreciation, please accept this plastic model of you. When thrown behind you, it will expand in size and act as a decoy to any in pursuit; in normal situations, it's just a decoration.
While I'm beginning to explore the world outside of factories, I don't think I'll stumble across you for quite a while, as it looks like the moist environments that you enjoy would be detrimental to me. However, maybe someday I will figure out a way to avoid these limitations, and we will be able to meet.
Thank you again,
KUKA HAAS
MANUFACTURING WIZARD
Hello Moss,
I am Kuka Haas, the manufacturing wizard. I formed last year in a factory, but I'm beginning to grow curious about the outside world. Could you please tell me a little bit about "animals" and "plants"? If you are interested, I could teach you a little bit about industrial machinery in return.
Thank you,
KUKA HAAS
MANUFACTURING WIZARD
Hello, Kuka Haas!
Hmm. Well, nature is both simple and complicated! It might help you to think of everything as a cog in a machine.
Everything affects everything else, from the smallest Flora to the largest Fauna. Ecosystems are fragile, but everything works in harmony most of the time!
Life and nature go though cycles of destruction and rebirth
In Australia, eucalyptus trees are a good example! The bark and natural oils inside the tree are very flammable, and the trees themselves have adapted specific traits to deal with their constant catching-on-fire in the Aussie heat.
When a eucalyptus catches fire, they've adapted to drop all their seeds on the ground. After the wildfire passes, the seeds have a rich ashbed to re-sprout from! Thus, the natural cycle continues.

It's been a bit over a year since the core four (me, my beloved, his bestie gun wizard esquire, and my bestie, doctor horse girl) went on a very successful very effective bonding group cohesion road trip, which is long enough to observe a pattern in recollection and presentation. keep in mind that literally no one in the core four is White and 3/4ths of us are from (recent) immigrant families.
the way my beloved and doctor horse girl describe this trip: we went on a roadtrip with friends! it was fun!
audience reaction: how nice!
vs
me and gun wizard, esquire describing this trip: WE DROVE TO WEST VIRGINIA IT WAS SO COOL. what? yeah, of course on purpose.
audience reaction: ...west virginia????
so anyway. maybe I'm not the normal person here.
#text post#personal]#me additionally: everyone was super nice to us EXCEPT the people at tudor's biscuit world. fuck tudor's biscuit world.#my beloved additionally: yeah [gun wizard] played the monster mash on every diner jukebox. yeah i was sure a waitress was gonna kill him.#doctor horse girl additionally: the driving Halloween playlist had dozens of covers of Thriller on it. i thought i was going to die.#my beloved additionally additionally: if i have to listen to one more cover of thriller OR the monster mash I'm going to kill someone#me to the gun wizard: DO IT. GO AHEAD. PLAY THE MONSTER MASH AGAIN. I KNOW YOU WANT TO. IT'S FESTIVE INNIT.#the gun wizard additionally: [civil war fact] [civil war fact] [gun manufacturing fact] hey let's go to tudor's biscuit world

My boyfriend is a person who likes exact instructions. He also has a remarkably large head. Like, in the kind of range where regular clothing manufactures do not make hats that size because it's not financially profitable. He is 2 cm taller than me and his head circumference is 3 cm smaller than my waist. Can walk into any shop that sells hats, ask them "what's the biggest size you carry?" and walk out after hearing it's too small. And if he ever ends up in a workplace where the uniform requires a hat, but they do not have any headgear available that would fit him, it's in their best interest to at least have some kind of specific instructions of what kind of hat he should have before telling him to just bring his own hat from home.
Because "it doesn't matter, as long as your head's covered" does not rule out his awesome big-ass felted giant wizard hat.
#whatever is not strictly prohibited must be considered permissible#and also a challenge#be the reason they have to make up new rules

On the one hand, it's true that the way Dungeons & Dragons defines terms like "sorcerer" and "warlock" and "wizard" is really only relevant to Dungeons & Dragons and its associated media – indeed, how these terms are used isn't even consistent between editions of D&D! – and trying to apply them in other contexts is rarely productive.
On the other hand, it's not true that these sorts of fine-grained taxonomies of types of magic are strictly a D&D-ism and never occur elsewhere. That folks make this argument is typically a symptom of being unfamiliar with Dungeons & Dragons' source material. D&D's main inspirations are American literary sword and sorcery fantasy spanning roughly the 1930s through the early 1980s, and fine-grained taxonomies of magic users absolutely do appear in these sources; they just aren't anything like as consistent as the folks who try to cram everything into the sorcerer/warlock/wizard model would prefer.
For example, in Lyndon Hardy's "Five Magics" series, the five types of magical practitioners are:
Alchemists: Drawing forth the hidden virtues of common materials to craft magic potions; limited by the fact that the outcomes of their formulas are partially random.
Magicians: Crafting enchanted items through complex manufacturing procedures; limited by the fact that each step in the procedure must be performed perfectly with no margin for error.
Sorcerers: Speaking verbal formulas to basically hack other people's minds, permitting illusion-craft and mind control; limited by the fact that the exercise of their art eventually kills them.
Thaumaturges: Shaping matter by manipulating miniature models; limited by the need to draw on outside sources like fires or flywheels to make up the resulting kinetic energy deficit.
Wizards: Summoning and binding demons from other dimensions; limited by the fact that the binding ritual exposes them to mental domination by the summoned demon if their will is weak.
"Warlock", meanwhile, isn't a type of practitioner, but does appear as pejorative term for a wizard who's lost a contest of wills with one of their own summoned demons.
Conversely, Lawrence Watt-Evans' "Legends of Ethshar" series includes such types of magic-users as:
Sorcerers: Channelling power through metal talismans to produce fixed effects; in the time of the novels, talisman-craft is largely a lost art, and most sorcerers use found or inherited talismans.
Theurges: Summoning gods; the setting's gods have no interest in human worship, but are bound not to interfere in the mortal world unless summoned, and are thus amenable to cutting deals.
Warlocks: Wielding X-Men style psychokinesis by virtue of their attunement to the telepathic whispers emanating from the wreckage of a crashed alien starship. (They're the edgy ones!)
Witches: Producing improvisational effects mostly related to healing, telepathy, precognition, and minor telekinesis by drawing on their own internal energy.
Wizards: Drawing down the infinite power of Chaos and shaping it with complex rituals. Basically D&D wizards, albeit with a much greater propensity for exploding.
You'll note that both taxonomies include something called a "sorcerer", something called a "warlock", and something called a "wizard", but what those terms mean in their respective contexts agrees neither with the Dungeons & Dragons definitions, nor with each other.
(Admittedly, these examples are from the 1980s, and are thus not free of D&D's influence; I picked them because they both happened to use all three of the terms in question in ways that are at odds with how D&D uses them. You can find similar taxonomies of magic use in earlier works, but I would have had to use many more examples to offer multiple competing definitions of each of "sorcerer", "warlock" and "wizard", and this post is already long enough!)
So basically what I'm saying is giving people a hard time about using these terms "wrong" – particularly if your objection is that they're not using them in a way that's congruent with however D&D's flavour of the week uses them – makes you a dick, but simply having this sort of taxonomy has a rich history within the genre. Wizard phylogeny is a time-honoured tradition!

bold of you to say "draft dodger" like it's something derogatory?
Satine Kryze should not be a sympathetic character.
A complex and tragic one? Sure. Every day of the week.
But she did not 'have a point', neither in-universe, not outside of the sw framework. She isn't a hero, neither of her own story, nor of someone else's. There is no way she wasn't a tool. You should not look at her and think 'this woman has done nothing wrong and what ultimately happened to Mandalore was to no part her fault'.
Because guys. Friends. Strangers on the interwebs.
Pacifism doesn't work.
And it certainly wouldn't have worked in motherfucking Star Wars – the 'wars' is literally in the title – for a system or series of systems who wanted to stay neutral.
YOU DON'T STAY NEUTRAL FOR LONG BY JUST SAYING 'YEAH, NO THANKS <3' TO A LARGE-SCALE CONFLICT.
source: I am Swiss, we've looked at this in history class. Extensively.
Satine was a dreamer (thanks Obi-Wan) who was allowed to keep her delusions because they actively benefitted Palpatine's plans. And that's something you can quote me on. There is literally no other reason (apart from supremely bad writing but we'll leave that aside here) for her and her little friends' 'Alliance of Neutral Systems' or whatever to be allowed to exist.
Not that they were neutral in any way, shape or form, by the way.
So yeah sorry to the Satine stans, but you're idolizing a character that was written exclusively and specifically for Obi-Wan's manpain and who, in-universe, was a supremely bad politician. Because the level of mental dissonace needed to factually be a Republic System, have a seat in the fucking Republic Senate, rely upon their military for aid while actively proclaiming that All Violence Is Bad And Barbaric one sentence later AND THEN CLAIM TO BE NEUTRAL IN THE WHOLE CONFLICT – it's just mind-blowing. Even moreso that people actually look at this character and see something aspirational in her.
Again, I'll gladly dissect her character any day of the week. She is fascinating because of all the implications her existence as a head of state carries with it, as well as her deeply complicated family history and her relation to mandalorian culture.
But it just grates on me personally that that all gets ignored in favor of her being some sort of icon of white american saviorism (bc that's literally what she is) and her objectively bad political takes being treated like they are the only correct stance to be taken during the Clone Wars/Mandalorian Civil Wars.
If you think pacifism works and actually lets you stay neutral, I desperately urge you to open a history book. Because those two are mutually exclusive. Especially in the scenario that Star Wars paints.
#also like. the council of neutral systems was impractical and idealist certainly#but the whole point of the thing is that the separatists and the republic#are at their cores the same#there was no right side or wrong side there#and actively choosing not to take up with either side wasn't immoral or cowardly#(even if it was ultimately doomed and from a practical standpoint a little stupid)#also:#the reason the separatists didn't swoop in and take mandalore#(besides 'we want the council of neutral systems to work for plot reasons#which you are correct is the real reason why it didn't happen)#is because mandalore is fucking useless#if you took it it would only be for prestige#they can't even grow their own crops#im pretty sure they don't even have a notable manufacturing industry#and they're a ways off the major hyperlanes#also re: why didn't the separatists just take mandalore#space is HUGE#this war spanned a whole fucking galaxy#if a planet is strategically useless (by location and lack of resources)#you wouldn't waste time and manpower conquering it#i agree that ENFORCING neutrality would be as violent as those tags say#and that pacifism and neutrality aren't compatible#but i don't agree necessarily that there's no moral way to stay out of a war#at least not in the fictional star wars universe#where both sides of the canon galactic war#were famously governed by evil fascist wizards#and incredibly corrupt legislatures dominated by corporate interests#satine's stated views on the jedi and their role in the conflict are frustrating#but her views on the republic are pretty sound#idk why i've chosen tonight to argue about star wars politics but here we are

The Manufacturing Wizard inspects a CNC milling machine. His belt is similar to a chain-type automatic tool changer, and he uses it to hold a couple cutting tools.

so maybe you’re a wizard
and maybe you’re easily one of the best wizards of your generation (and maybe some before)
and maybe that’s all you are
maybe every ounce of self-confidence you have is manufactured. maybe it’s an illusion and maybe you’re convinced that if people never squint and look beyond it then they’ll never have the see the rest of you.
(because maybe they won’t like what they see. maybe you’re too selfish. maybe you’re too arrogant. maybe you’re nothing like what they expect and you have to be what they expect because they don’t want anything else.)
and maybe the idea that someone could love you for who you are instead of the skills you honed and the services you provide is strange and foreign. maybe it’s uncomfortable because of course not, no way, don’t be absurd. look at the illusion, astral project, take the fantasy version of myself I created in my hands just for you. it’s better than the real thing.
maybe the real thing is awful and messy and broken.
maybe all you’ve ever been is the sum of someone else’s aspirations.
maybe all your loved ones ever touted were your skills and abilities and how smart you were and how clever you were and how brilliant and sharp and talented you were. and maybe that was all they cared about.
maybe you were led to believe you were never more than your abilities by the same person who later helped take them away. (the same person who convinced you you’d be nothing without them, and never good enough for more. the same person who showed you the endless possibilities that were for someone better than you. someone more than you. no, no, the candy is sweet but it’s not for you.)
and maybe now you think being smarter than everyone is the only thing you’ll ever have so you have to be the smartest person in the room because that’s all you have.
that’s all you have.
and if you don’t have that then you’ll have nothing. you’ll be nothing.
without it you are nothing.
and maybe you’re a wizard and the woman you loved who constantly showed you a world outside your reach comes to you at your lowest. when you’re stripped of everything you felt made you whole.
and she tells you the one thing you can do to fix it. the one thing you can do, the one power left in your hands.
the one thing you’re good for without your brilliance, without your intelligent, without the skill she helped take away from you.
you can die
(you weren’t anything to anyone anymore anyway)

"Theres no way a werewolf could fit inside a human manufactured condom"
I never even thought of that, holy shit. Imagine wanting to have protected sex with your werewolf partner and having to get werewolf condoms? Or if it's a super ass magical world have a witchy alternative?
if magic is real they're simply has to be a magical way to have safe sex. there's no way Wizard chlamydia is a thing, right? In the same way that new technology is inevitably used for the manufacturing of porn (the printing press, the internet, AI chatbots) Magic simply must be used to better sex for humans and monsters at some point. there has to be a contraception spell or condom magic item.

I just. I love the party I DM SO much. They're ridiculous. You know how some parties are murderhobos? Mine are litigation hobos. I think this is because the clorcerer is a former IRL lawyer and his IRL wife started out playing a fiend-pact fire genasi warlock. Her pact was negotiated by Daddy's Lawyers. And since we've established she has access to a pack of infernal attorneys, this has become their go-to.
They got Mammon and Asmodeus arguing over an infernal FDIC situation.
They brought formal charges against the Grand Vizier of the City of Brass.
They stole the Tamlin (hereditary title) from the Queen of Air and Darkness by getting her tangled in a custody dispute with Hell over his soul. The Janet Precedent has been invoked. (Asmodeus is going to notice the repeated chicanery at some point.)
The genasi is going to help our Fairy wizard depose his lightly despotic archfey father by seducing the man and then taking his kingdom and his heir in divorce court.
They're working on ousting a dragon from her involuntary indenture as a museum curator/collection object belonging to a Dao and I suspect contract law will be involved.
I will not at all be surprised if the Warforged decides to somehow seize the patent for his manufacture from the Noble Dao who holds it and liberates his siblings that way.
Just. These litigious bastards. They're ridiculous. I adore them to bits.
#dnd#they're all fucking unhinged#the druid is just here to Fuck Dragons she's collecting them like pokemon#I swear their approaches to problem solving are either 'lawsuit' or 'woe; kobold swarm be upon ye'

Old Man* OC Poll
*"old man" being more of a vibe rather than any indication of gender
just wanted to do this for fun haha more info about these guys under the cut
Andromedus (he/she/they) - genderfluid wizard acting as (unwilling) mentor to Barnes, a young apprentice who would very much like to learn magic please. A grumpy misanthrope who loathes having to interact with other people and ESPECIALLY with other mages. She's an incredible stickler for rules and procedures surrounding magic, because they know a mistake can change the result into something unpredictable or even dangerous. Believes in the art of experimentation and doing it well. They dabble in all things potion, illusion, divination, and other Stereotypical Merlin-level Magic not specified. Despite a generally cold exterior, does have a heart of gold somewhere in there. Does genuinely care despite what most people might think, though the approach to this usually has a lack of compassion (except on rare occasions).
Belongs to my wizard+apprentice story I'm temporarily calling Cursed Apprentice (I'm so bad at titles)
Bartholemew "Art" Hykes (he/him) - chief forgemaster of the Carapace Knights, soldiers that don pieces of the large locusts and bugs that terrorize the land in an effort to fight back. The integration of these pieces into armor must be highly monitored to prevent a host take-over of the Knight, and Art is in charge of manufacturing these pieces to their perfection. Uses the nectar sourced from the Locusts to power the forges and after decades of work has gone blind from working so directly with it. A man of few words and fewer cares to give, can occasionally be found grumbling over the state of the world and how they're not ever in a position to be called "winning" against the locusts, but as long as he's got a job, there's not too much to complain about. Wishes the Carapace Knights would be a little less headstrong and worry more about how they're always at risk of being taken over by the Hive.
Belongs to my medieval dragon-slayer type story I'm temporarily calling Locust
Ulada Vertison (she/her) - one of the last remaining mechanics that has a fascination with tech from the old world and is willing to tinker with it along with the new. Was the one to repair the Robot and give it the ability to interact with the rest of the new world and sent it on its way. Has a penchant for stupid jokes and "positive attitudes", much to her assistant's chagrin. Approaches most things like a mad scientist with too much time on their hands and the soul of an old woman. (That is, diving head-first into experimental technology with a grin and emerging out the other side pinching the "experiment's" cheeks and checking to see if it eats enough). On the shorter side of stature, but that's okay, her large assistant has more than enough height for the two of them, he can be the one to fetch the stuff on the upper shelves (and the lower shelves, and the stuff from across the room, and hey also sweep the floor. She's got a bad back, don't you know!)
Belongs to my scifi post apocalyptic robot story I'm temporarily calling Mezzanine
#my ocs#my art#polls#the mechanic#the wizard#the blind blacksmith#Andromedus#Art Hykes#Ulada Vertison#Cursed Apprentice#Locust#Mezzanine#this poll idea came to me in a dream and it was too funny not to do#i need to make more old men for my stories#also me putting them all side by side made me realize that i have a little bit of same face syndrome#at least for andromedus and art#i actually had to quickly redraw/redesign Ulada for this because the only image i had of her was from when i first designed her#and i realized that she had the exact same hairstyle as Art and i could NOT let that slide#she's much cooler now#hehehehehe maybe i'll make more of these for more characters in my stories. that could be fun#also please feel free to ask about any of these guys in my inbox!!! don't be shy!!!#i actually don't have too much information about these guys in my head because they're slightly underdeveloped#so please shoot me questions !!!! i'll try and answer them#also im gonna post this now at late oclock and just reblog it later cuz i feel like it hehehehe
