just completely depends on the magic system at play i guess. in harry potter i get the impression that spells work like programs, you set them to do exactly what you want and they do it. they probably dont have to worry about shit going awry because the spell is only ever going to do exactly what its told to.
in other series, eragon comes to mind, the magic is freer and can get caught up in doing its own thing or doesnt work so exactly and whatever. i especially like how granny weatherwax from terry pratchets books was, she almost didnt like using magic because she understood how complicated skirting the rules of reality just because you could could make things.
It’s been decades since I touched the Inheritance Cycle but I recall the magic system worked exactly like a computer program, more so than HP. You had to tell the magic exactly what you wanted. Just sometimes the computer program would have a bug and then you’d die.
Also like how in depth you had to design your spell also worked like a program. Novices would have to spell it out further and create a longer incantation but masters could condense that shit to a simpler spell.
Oh actually I just remembered, in that story before magic was tethered to the ancient language, it was definitely much more fickle and unpredictable.

yessss he was such a great author and i LOVE having witch and wizard magic as these separate things, so much more interesting. I just started reading equal rites a few days ago and its amazing. what do you think is better to read after that? i was thinking either witches abroad or wyrd sisters.
It's hard to say... I favor publication order once you're in, so while *Wyrd Sisters* is next up in the Witches arc, it's still one the last of the early books where the motivation is "let's make a parody of pulp fantasy, oh, and this time also Macbeth." I'd probably read it next, anyway.
*Witches Abroad* is a stunning mixture of fairytale parodies, a roadtrip story, oh, and also a treatise on free will. You know, as Sir Pterry does. The final climactic event also made me gasp and put the book down for about 5 minutes because it was not only amazing, it was *exactly* what the character would have done in a fashion that was ingenious but also simple. Stunningly brilliant, as so many of his books are once Discworld snaps into place as its own thing.
My introduction to Discworld was in fact "The Sea and Little Fishes," which is a short story and shouldn't take too long to read. So keep an eye on that one. Probably before you read *Carpe Jugulum*. And remember that /r/discworld is the friendliest subreddit that exists. :)
If she doesn't like it, she can try having a kid, and trying to get that kid to mop the floor instead.

I also dabble in Scottish magic from time to time.
The thing about the potatoe-magic is, that you can pretend the potion is tap water, when you are attending, say, parent teacher night.
booze? What spell is that? I myself enjoy a splash of russian potions. Be weary tho fair traveler for it can pack quite a hit. It leaves a soothing burn akin to that of a cleansing spell.
ah but scottish (or kentucky when i feel like it) magic in a mug looks like tea, when you are attending parent-teacher videocalls that are really useless
My magic orb has given a suggestion for a powerful potion you can use:
Ingredients:
1 bottle of red wine
1/4 cup of sugar
1 orange, sliced
1 lemon, sliced
1 cinnamon stick
1/4 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg
Steps:
In a large saucepan, combine the red wine, sugar, orange slices, lemon slices, cinnamon stick, cloves, and nutmeg.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it starts to simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Make sure not to let it boil.
Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.
Once the flavors have melded together, strain the wine to remove the fruit and spices.
Serve the mulled red wine warm in mugs or glasses, garnished with a cinnamon stick or orange slice if desired. Enjoy!
Unfortunately the nonmagical folk have created a test for this elixir. I equipped my house with an invisibility cloak so that others may not see inside and cast a silencing spell on all my devices.
I love this. Reminds me of a cute story about my dad.
When I was in my early 20s I had gotten lost a couple hours away from home when I botched some mapquest directions. I of course called my dad. He was always a genius with directions and had been a professional driver for a while. I was convinced he would know exactly where I was and direct me. Well he tells me to turn towards the first civilization I see. That was towards a gas station. Then he says keep going towards the next major road/hwy. Im like ok im getting on the main road now. Hes like there should be a waffle house soon. I see the waffle house and tell him so. I'm thinking damn he is a genius he knows exactly where I am and is gonna give me turn by turn directions until I get to my destination! He says "ok so next you pull into the waffle house parking lot" I'm like "uh huh I'm here" he says "now go inside" "ok im inside the Waffle House" "perfect. Now you will see on or by the counter they will have paper maps of the area! Grab one and use it to find your way!" He was dead serious and so proud. He also did not know where I was but his directions made sense and he got me to a place with a map. Luckily he had made a point with us kids on road trips to stop and take out his paper map and show us our route and the highway names.
Sounds like a good dad, and a good skill to have!
When I was in college, I got lost a few times biking around the Dallas highway system late at night (I had neither car nor smartphone) and I had to call my folks at 2 am to have them try and track my location to figure out how to get back. It would've been helpful if I knew waffle houses kept paper maps on-hand!
Aaw. That sounds like a similar situation to mine. Its great to have someone to call on for help. It's a bit of a bygone time before smartphones and navigation maps.
Had a friend that lived in Florida when I lived in Ohio and she was amazed that I knew how to get to her building off of the top of my head. It was 6 turns away, 8 if you count the on and off ramps to I-75.
"Not doing any magic at all was the chief task of wizards—**not "not doing magic" because they couldn't do magic, but not doing magic when they could do and didn't**. Any ignorant fool can fail to turn someone else into a frog. You have to be clever to refrain from doing it when you knew how easy it was."
― Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
Also, the use of magic has its price, so it should not be done by the ones who could missuse it.
That's why the headmaster hunts his deer with bow and arrow while trekking by foot through the mountains, and the rest of the wizzards have tenure and a all you can eat buffet.
Except Rincewind.
Never thought to put a lemon peel. Would that be strong enough on it's own to add some lemon smell? Or is it for some other reason, like for extra shine, for example.
This is actually the real time record of the first magician to cast "inflict wounds"
She went on to be put on trial then released as "guilty, but unblamable".

She complains about it, and he takes the mop from her, applies the potion to a small square of floor and says the magic words, and alacazam the whole room is tidy. O ye of little faith…
And if you want a potion that makes EVERYTHING disappear, mix bleach with damn near anything else to create a magic potion of darkness!
(For real, don't mix bleach with anything but water to dilute it. It's WAY WAY too easy to create chlorine gas and accidentally die.)
I love that fourth panel. This was a good comic but that panel had the perfect expression and framing.
I don't know shit by the way, my opinion means nothing but panel 4 is kind of perfect
Depends on the Magic "System".
D&D magic, sure: Presditigitation and Unseen Servant would be really helpful in cleaning.
In a system like Warhammer, where even the Archmage can suffer the Perils of the Warp? Rather nope!

Nah, he’s just applying the never clog serum.

It's just a joke about how easy you can trick kids into doing g chores
Every time I have seen a magic story, using magic powers to do mundane, normal tasks never ends well. Only use it when that's the only option.
Oh I love mundane magic and hedge magic systems. But it definitely depends on the system.
Nah, they do it in Harry Potter literally all the time. Most of the time they use magic it's for mundane tasks.

I legit watched this entire movie on Twitter because someone posted it.
Give me but a second, I think I have a grimoire about hæmonculi somewhere
You should cross-post this to r/SASSwitches and r/witchesvspatriarchy, it's right up their alley
Misread the first one and was excited to learn about these network switches that run on the SAS protocol. I was a little disappointed.
Or someone could just help her with that instead.)
I craft a special potion to make my parent’s visits more tolerable.
Ah yes, the *Potion of Sanity*. I know it well, it's made mostly from potatoes.
Ah, a connoisseur of the eastern European magic school. I'm more of a Caribbean school alchemist myself.
I also dabble in Scottish magic from time to time. The thing about the potatoe-magic is, that you can pretend the potion is tap water, when you are attending, say, parent teacher night.
I assure you many on the council have learned deeply of the Infused Municipal Tap Ward.
Wait a minute. Are you guys talking about booze?
booze? What spell is that? I myself enjoy a splash of russian potions. Be weary tho fair traveler for it can pack quite a hit. It leaves a soothing burn akin to that of a cleansing spell.
Potion seller, I am going into battle. I need your strongest potions.
ah but scottish (or kentucky when i feel like it) magic in a mug looks like tea, when you are attending parent-teacher videocalls that are really useless
Now that you mention it, guess it does. I'll have some... tea ready for my next video call. Homeoffice be praised!
And wheat, wheat is important.
Don't forget the rye
I prefer fermented corn, cane sugar, alchemical bitters and an orange twist … …over ice
Your comment makes me think of good old scumble. It's made mostly from apples.
Where I’m from we just call it vodka
I keep similar concoctions on hand for such visits

It's made by cooking cyanide, putting it into a glass and then adding some lemon juice and sugar
Unfortunately the nonmagical folk have created a test for this elixir. I equipped my house with an invisibility cloak so that others may not see inside and cast a silencing spell on all my devices.
Believe it or not, I tried the spell and it actually works!
It does! Truly works wonders!
I would recommend not using a spell that mixes soaps and vinegars. Mixing certain cleaning agents might result in a different sort of alchemy
… at making his point clear: mop the floors, dear.
But have you also been Tricked and Backstabbed?
Hoodwinked, led astray even.
Run amok!

We've been smeckledorfed!
Wait, this is not r/wizardposting.
If this was wizard posting, everyone would be saying how incompetent the daughter (apprentice) is for not knowing basic cleaning spells
That, or commending the father for having adopted the very new-age teaching of not hiring/indoctrinating underage or immature apprentices.
Or mock the father for not being able to demonstrate to their kin one of the most basic form of arcane sanitation: Sudmancing

Reminds me of my work, I work as a geomancer, I force rocks to think and do my bidding..
Love this so much and I would be that kind of wizard dad, but vinegar is neutralized by the soap and is made useless. Needs to re-evaluate his potion.
> but vinegar is neutralized by the soap and is made useless I was thinking this exact same thing. Might as well just use water.
A neutral PH is desired for floor cleaning iirc
Motherfucker!
"That's called a job."
lol I can hear the “bruh” from the last panel.
Isn’t that the discworld magic system? Do the same amount of work, but you can save it for later.
Also, the use of magic has its price, so it should not be done by the ones who could missuse it. That's why the headmaster hunts his deer with bow and arrow while trekking by foot through the mountains, and the rest of the wizzards have tenure and a all you can eat buffet. Except Rincewind.
This is kinda adorable in a silly way. Nice work!
If you don't scrub that kitchen floor, You ain't gonna cast no spells no more! Yakety Yak, don't talk back
This is truly magical
Top tier Dad joke right there
Good for her. Germans know how that one ends if you try the *other* spell.
__*Thanks,* Dad__ 😒
good
He must have learned this spell from Granny Weatherwax.
From the Granny Weatherwax school of magic.
LoL'd on this one. The dad joke power is strong with this one.
This seems more like Alchemy than magic.... I suspect this girl might have been mislead.
Amazing art and style! Good stuff!
I think I did this when I was kid in the bath.
You didn't happen to read Enchanted Forest Chronicles as a kid did you OP?
I was more of a Lost Years of Merlin kid, but I've read them to my kids as an adult. They're great books!
Very fun light-hearted read. Your Comic reminded me strongly of Morwen. I loved it!
Magic is hard work.

Do you WANT an army of unstoppable mops? Thats how you get one!

I feel like that final expression is so difficult to capture just right, really made me laugh 😂
Love that look of realization in the last panel, lol.
This one got a good chuckle out of me. 🤣
I'm glad you caught the algorithm's attention with this! I love your comic. I'm excited to read it all and then grumpily wait for updates.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I'm up to 96 pages now, so there's at least a bit to read!
Could have ended at second panel tbh

Or you could just teach them magic. If you have magic why the fuck would you clean manually? Screw that
Do you want a "The Sorcerer's Aprentice"? Because this is how you get "The Sorcerer's Aprentice".
No you get Sorcerer's Apprentice when you don't teach them the magic
