It’s not too late to teach her some stuff, Toivo.
He’s already doing it inadvertently. Telling her that fast casting, transformations, and circle shortcuts are things is basically giving her a list of questions to ask.
Hell, maybe that’s the “lesson plan” Rosemary hatched with Serule.
Big pointy black hat WAY TO LEAN INTO THE STEREOTYPE TOIVO
Listen it’s the rule of Witches and Wizards, are you truly one without the hat?
Yeah, Toivo. Listen to your back-chatting smartass daughter and zip it! 😛
I particularly like a silhouette flying the broomstick in the background, such a humorous and nice touch! 🙂
Makin’ their way downtown.
The thing is, often it’s a good idea to know the rules before you break them – You don’t start being a Terry Pratchett level author by going and doing your own thing, ignoring the normal wisdom of writing, you do it by learning the tropes, the conventions of writing, and why they exist, and *then* you’ll know how better to subvert those rules. When to follow them, when to ignore them, when (and how) to lead your readers down a path, expecting the norm, and then present them with a twist to it that, while unexpected, makes more sense for the world, setting, and characters than the expected would have been.
You don’t get to “They said he was as straight as a corkscrew … They said he acts all crooked, but he sure gets the corks out” without knowing exactly what you’re doing with the audiences minds, and there’s no better way to learn that than to learn the rules, and then learn *why*.
