> APPRENTICE: collecting water from the rain is going to be far too slow. if only you had access to some sort of TIME MAGIC that could let you speed the rain up in a small area to collect it faster. Failing that, is conjuring up water too much for you, apprentice?

...we gotta work on making some of these thoughts shorter.

They... they almost stuck their head out the window with their new PAPER hat...

It would be convenient if they had TIME MAGIC, wouldn't it? Just in general, really. Unfortunately, of course, that is a much higher level of magic than the apprentice has access to learn, and they wouldn't have the stats to cast any of it yet. And it's restricted to a very small section of wizards due to its nature.

Water magic, though...

> APPRENTICE: Check out your spells and skills!

Finally............ spells.

And a distinct lack of skills.

The APPRENTICE knows a few spells, and thankfully for them, "BABBLER'S BROOK" is one of them!

At the low, low cost of one mana per cast, and as long as the caster has 2 AXIOMATIC ARCANOSITY, this spell will create a steady (albeit small) stream of water from the caster's focus point!

It's a bit of a low level spell, but you gotta start somewhere.

The other spells the APPRENTICE knows are SUMMON DESK, SUMMON GAMING CHAIR, FLAVOUR BLAST, and ALCHEMAGE'S POCKET.
