My could-be-controversial take on Jayce Talis is that if he lived in a universe or city where you could just go study to become a wizard, like the Baldur's Gate 3/D&D universe for example, he never would have bothered with blacksmithing or Hextech in general, he would have gone straight to esoteric magic school and never come out again. He'd be Gale Dekarios. Blacksmithing and Hextech were always about him finding a workaround within his own available skills and background for what was possibly the most heartbreaking moment of his young life: that he didn't have any actual, inherent magical ability of his own.
(Which just makes the fact that his mage also didn't have inherent magical ability, that Viktor gained it through his association with Jayce, all the more delicious.)
#now I kinda want a fic where post canon Jayce gets the chance to be a real mage and actually starts crying a bit#maybe while he's dimension hopping with Viktor idk#because that was the original dream for him the rest was just a workaround#jayce talis#arcane#arcane meta#jayvik#if you squint#admittedly I could see him becoming a Wondrous Item crafter in DND to keep him thematically in line#maybe dipping into his blacksmithing background there to make magic for others#but yeah honestly boy just wanted to be magical imo and made do with making magic items
