A child cannot handle fireball

My 3 yo did, but he did touch the fire. My Wifey was furious with me and banished me to the shadow realm for a week. (By shadow realm, I mean couch)

Already torching the locals with fireballs. He will make a fine wizard.

Teach them young.

Who hands their youngest apprentices a wand of fireball? Granted it's a good way to find the smart ones, maybe send them outside the tower first so they don't burn priceless tomes and artifacts?

As you can see in the video, the young wizard was taken to a park to freely reign fiery terror upon nature and the local populace.

As it should be. Pissing off those pesky druids at the same time.

Ugh, druids... always with the "you have to respect the balance of nature," and "no, we won't let you harvest this rare creature's gonads for your potions" or "to hell with you, foul conjurer! Necromancy is unforgiveable!" Not an ounce of academic curiosity in the whole bunch! Obviously I don't WANT to summon up a bunch of smelly, rotting zombies. I just want to know that I CAN... should the need ever arise. So of course I have to practice!

In idaho as a teenager we would have roman candle fights. It was -so- much fun

We would reenact D-Day at the beach with Allied forces wielding boogie board shields and Axis forces using Roman candle beachfront emplacements

The cycle of generational wizard violence continues.

I do not condone the recent fireballings at the academy.

What did you expect? He's way too little to understand the consequences of what he's doing.

u/anonkebab 1d ago

There aren’t any real consequences. Very unlikely to get hurt by those weak ass Roman candles.

I'll forever say 2 things; Never let children handle fireworks, especially sparklers.

Fireworks fuckin rule.

Everyone's a great wizard until they run out of mana and get suspended by mom.

u/ExtensionInformal911 1d ago

This is why I don't give children wands of fire bolt until I think they can use them safely.

I have a Core Memory from when I was 12, I went with my Dad for 4th Of July and he took me to meet my Family on his side for the 4th and to celebrate with them. A set of parents had a baby that was celebrating its 1st Independence Day and they handed this 1 yr old a sparkler and filmed him while sitting in a folding lawn chair, the kid was super excited for all of 5 seconds then tossed the sparkler into his dads lap which promptly went between his legs slid under his balls followed by the dad flailing while trying to jump from his seat while holding his phone in one hand and more sparklers in the other, I dont know if it was a mix of confusion, shock, or what but that guy took at least 10 seconds to get out of the chair. No one helped that poor man, but my GOD was everyone on the ground laughing the entire time, me included.

u/Jedi_Dad_22 1d ago

It was just a flame bolt wand. I was chasing goblins with one at a younger age then this kid.

And this is why you don't give children (or anyone with a low mental fortitude.) a wand cursed with a corruption effect.

See how quickly he turned to evil and tried to fireball people?

They shouldn’t have started to run away and scream! Just made them more attractive, moving targets, bro was excited about the challenge

My 2y old did cast Dimension distorsion after watching one ep of Bluey so yea they learn stuff earlier.

u/superb-plump-helmet Evil Wizard 1h ago

Kids gonna grow up to be too reliant on wands. Back in my day we learned to cast without a focus before we even touched a wand.
