There is such a thing as a coven of wizards, but it's typically referred to as an argument.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Most of said arguments being started by Usidore the Blue.

Well if that conspiracy of wind, fire, earth, and birds didn't want an argument, they wouldn't have brought him fully formed into being...

And what do those councils do whenever they get together?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I just love english and their crazy namings. I mean I know it's not correct but it could be. It really could be.

That topic was extensively covered by Terry Pratchett including the possible erotic implications.

Can I get a (few) title(s), please?

I've read (only) half of the disc-world books, but I don't know what you're referencing.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Definitely Lords and Ladies, see the reference to a romance a few lines down in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unseen_University#Archchancellor.

There's also a lot of references to sex and romance in nearly all books revolving around Granny Weather and Nanny Ogg and the younger witches they educate. See for books and references in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Granny_Weatherwax.

I always suggest to read the whole disc world series in the order of their publication - first of all they're all very entertaining books, and the order of publication develops the whole scenario as Terry Pratchett intended.

Have fun :)

Dad, what are you doing on Lemmy

Wizard is a magic science user

Witch is a magic chemistry user

Warlock is a magic outsourcer

Sorcerer is just built different

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How about Oneiromancers such as Freud?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Magic talkers. Artificers are magic tinkerers, mages are magic soldiers, hags are magic gardeners, the list goes on I'm sure.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Druids, mages, sages, shamans, that one weird aunt.

How could I forget the earth magic people!

Let’s not forget pyromancers, necromancers, and floramancers to name a few more magic users

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

How do you guys always forget the clerics. You have no problem taking our buffs, but God forbid mentioning us in a list...

(also paladins)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

And what about the rights of the muggles that do streetmagic, illusionists, magicians and slight-of-hand masters? They can sort of bring some magic to the table.

Are you Harry Dresden?

Working title: the magic of friendship.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I have really appreciated my coven, honestly. I'm their poop wizard.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

The fiber that binds them?

Me and one half back cat are looking for a coven!

Only magic the cat can do is eat, sleep, and roll around on the floor being cute.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

You and the cat can join my coven. I hope you can do magic tho cause my skills align more closely with the cat...
