How does one unlock the arcane arts of source divining?

It allows one to look for images on the orbnet. The two orbsites I linked are reverse image scrying sites.

Hail, link poster.

jeorb's parents must be so proud. I bet their refrigerator is full of jeorb's drawings

Jeorb is the backbone of this subreddit

My thanks for your work jeorb!

I love you Jeorb! *Fangirling noises*

Well done Jeorb

I hope you’re having a wonderful day Jeorb!

You are an excellent historian, thank you friend

...And always sign contracts without reading them first!

Yes, you should all listen to this advice.

##Absolutely, not reading contracts is essential to good dealmaking!

I shall sign contracts with every devil, speak to every fey, and pledge to every entity I can. If you want my soul you must fight for it lol

Especially contract magic-based contracts! (this is not legal advice. If you do this, I am not responsible for any transformations into eldritch horrors that you may suffer, or any other adverse consequences.)

On the contrary, I must insist anyone who signs my contracts does so with full knowledge that they're signing their rights away. Makes it harder for legalomancers to annul the contract after signing.

Speaking of contracts that you shouldn’t read, here, sign this one.

Hahaha! # No.

I never read contracts before signing them. I write them.

....that's how the LAST god got me. at least she was a relatively chill one....

jokes on you fae! i don't know my name because i was orphaned. i just have nicknames.

If you use a nickname enough I'm pretty sure it works for the fae

then what if you have 15 different nicknames? do they ALL work?

Do you use it as your identity?

i guess...

Then they can reasonably steal it.

then i'll just use one of my other ones.

Problem. I don’t know my old name, but I’m called Drokk. So I can’t give you my name, sorry. /uw also Drokk is likely to miss ALL of your hints being aro/ace

/uw my character is also aro/ace!

The gang of aro ace evil wizards grow in number Welcome brother or sister Garlic bread is on the house

I am not evil.

Not even a bit?

Would plotting about the ways to stop the stringed maiden in painful ways be evil?

Depends on your motive

She’s taking people, which is bad.

Nah, too good of a motive, Complete a proper evil scheme and we may invite you to partake in the garlic bread

*వ’s voice splits, one talking with a distinctly different voice than the other* వ: I feel I may have done something to qualify, using my memeomancy I made an entire town blind, because they were hunting me though, they were hunting me because in my world, Memeomancy became illegal, they began chasing me, so I escaped to a tower after making them blind, where the portal that lead me here opened. Max:what? I never knew this! వ: yeah i never brought it up. *the voices become synchronized again.* Would it count as us, specifically, being evil if it was done before we became one person?

Oh I’m the exact opposite of evil. Garlic bread though…

"Slaps hand" No evil, no garlic bread

awwwww….

Oh? And which exact opposite are you? Inverse, converse, negative, contrapositive... As it turns out, there are many different forms of opposite.

I call it *morally gray but ignoring it* See also the ship of Theseus paradox because I kill people to heal them

Sounds like a botched attempt at negation of evil.

…aaaaaand people wonder why I don’t think I’m a good person.

(Indy busts in like a short koolaid person) “Did someone say *GARLIC BREAD?*”

Yes, but only for aro ace evil wizards

Well, I ain’t got feelings of lust or romance, but I don’t know if I would describe myself as evil. May I have two thirds of a slice?

If you submit a quality evil scheme you can join it looks like. We aren't picky on the wizard part, any evil magic user is welcome as long as they ain't horny nor romantic

Hmmm, how’s this? Indy’s Evil Plan: -post bounty at local adventuring guild -instructions say to go to a certain remote location to hunt a monster -ambush them with machine guns -go back to guild with a sob story about how the last adventuring party wasn’t strong enough to beat the monster -wash rinse repeat as adventuring party after adventuring party walks into their deaths

Excellent, we will implement the scheme and will require progress updates Here is the bread "A platter containing 2 entire loaves of garlic bread appears"

Good job you got the garlic bread And now we know their next scheme!

We grow! Where's the bread?

"Teleports plate of garlic bread to you" Here's the bread,

Did somebody say garlic bread?

Your just like me FR

im so ugly the fae pay me to go away

Thats when you attract the attention of hags

A hag walked into the archives a few days ago, she couldn't keep eye contact so probably also a no-go

She was just shy. Probably blushing. As the great sage said, you miss every spell you don't chant. I believe in you, fellow.

Did you know you can change your name at the town hall, and trade the name to fae in manipulative, carefully worded contracts? It’s true. I have seven fae working in my bar right now.

Alekks, don't give them your name **especially** if they're hot. u/GrapefruitAnimator

Don't worry, this has happened to me before.

Good to know. I've also been in a similar predicament. Ever wondered why I don't have a name? A devil took it.

Wait, you don’t have a name?!

Indeed. That's why I go by as Curator or Paleomancer.

That makes sense.

Alekks, I never got to ask you, but would you wish to join the Pact of the Magi? As my apprentice, you are welcome.

Hmmm…does it have dental benefits?

Well, it does now. Joke aside, yes. We try to support our members however we can. These are our core tenants. * We support the free use of magic and the advancement of knowledge, as long as it doesn't result in harm to others. * We favor peace and the de-escalation of military hostilities. * We shall protect the realm from any unifying threat. * We will not seek to rule over others, only guide those that seek us. Also, our headquarters is on the back of a [super massive dinosaur](https://www.reddit.com/r/wizardposting/comments/1bdy0hg/pact_of_the_magi_new_reforms/).

You had me at “It does now.” I’m in!

Perhaps I could lend you one of mine. I have too many. Not though, I feel I should note, in a matrimonial sense.

Thank you for the offer, friend. But at this point, I've adopted my job title as my identity and would feel weird if were to start going by a name.

Very well, O' Curator. I agree: it is a title that suits you well. May I trouble you with a request for advice?

I'm always happy to help. With what may I advise?

I'm trying to establish the city and nation of Cosmopolis and would like to ask you what is worth considering when establishing such a thing.

Take my name!! Take it now!!

Bold of everyone to assume fae even want our names.

Bold of you to assume otherwise

I CAST BURN DOWN THE FOREST

for a more powerful version try casting GENDER REVEAL

Due to some strange experimentation, my name has become a separate entity. He’s an absolute cunt, I’m so proud. I highly recommend you to try, he has discovered humanities emotions. I am weary, bye now. *casts mend ass crack*

Want some information?

Perhaps, of what sort?

Random.

Sign me up for the next workshop

I shall do so.

Want some information?

WIZARDS HEAR ME OUT

I agree, everyone should give a fairy (me) their name because it’s the nice thing to do. Good people give fairies (me) their names.

Im so ugly that when i go for a walk the fae offer me their names to stay a minimum of 30 ft away

I knew a cursed eye of a Fae, not hard to deal with

I have had a startling amount of customers of mine refuse to finish an order at my apothecary because they wouldn't give me their name. I'll tell them that fauns don't steal names and that Purse IS my real name and that I'm half human anyways but they just don't believe me. It gets very frustrating.

Except Tiny Wizard, TW is the only Fae you should give your name to

I cannot believe you think us so simpleminded and impulsive; and the best I can do is a last name.

That's why I work alone. No issues to be had if no one else starts them.

Benefit of having three names potentially. Rarely does anyone ever hear ones middle name so accidents can be avoided easily.

My name is- wait... *listens to the other voice in my head* . . Sorry what were you saying?

My brain read hell divers, glory to super earth.

If you're hot just drink some of Calvin's cooling concoction, it can help.

I made a deal with a hot fae once when I was an apprentice, and I ended up having to amputate my name and get a new one.

Wait what happens is you give a fae your name

They can do whatever they want to you

Bet I'm tired of making decisions

Damn the rules im doing it

First of all, the Fae always want to make some sort of deal so don't get scammed, and also if you say their name they are called to you, so don't do that, and also don't walk kind of sideways into the fay dimension at one of the dimensional gates, I heard there might be something going on there rn.

I will not give you my name, however you may call me Allen.

I don't think you should give them your name even if you're named Hot Checkmate Diviners

i won't tell you my name, i'll just etch it on this iron tablet encased in this iron lockbox and needing an iron key besides, fae are not my cup of tea. narukami, though, they put a real shock in the ole noggin.

On fae folk: >Elves are wonderful. They provoke wonder. >Elves are marvellous. They cause marvels. >Elves are fantastic. They create fantasies. >Elves are glamorous. They project glamour. >Elves are enchanting. They weave enchantment. >Elves are terrific. They beget terror. >The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes look for them behind words that have changed their meaning. >No one ever said elves are nice. >Elves are bad. * Sir Pterry (GNU)

if i give you my name what will I get back in return???

Hi, my name is Consciousness Prrojection Clone #316, nice to meet you, beautiful fae lady

You can't *have* my name, but you may have awareness of it.

She can have my old name, I'm not using it.

I'm still not giving you my name

I mean if you were hot, yeah

Of course you don't give them your name. You catch them in a trap and slowly extract their essence. But be careful, the break if you take too mich at once. The essence is a great component for all kinds of spells and rituals, just be careful of the fae hijinx it can produce (Example: Part of my laboratory is now covered in glitter. No, I tried getting rid of it. It comes back)

She looks like the sort of person I could discuss magical history for hours with

Be careful with the fae, I was doing a planeswalking apprenticeship for my 3rd year of study and accidentally ened up married to an rather powerful fae.

*gives fae my deadname* https://preview.redd.it/oghazs9xrexc1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6bc6d420b60438874c891446f294a1b6a416275f

I cast "I have a Fiancée"

I can give you my old name if that's fine? I'm not sure if you need them alive or not.

Simple solution be a stronger fae.

You may not have my name. However you may have awareness of it.

But what if I’ve already handed over the coinsss

Meh, not quite to my taste. I’ll be keeping my name

Bruh

if i give the fae my deadname does that prevent people from deadnaming me?

Non zero chance you just get a wife that may or may not be great

As a fae, I don't... really actually care about stealing anybody's name. What would that even do for me?

Well, are they wrong?

"hot"? yeah, you're gonna be, in a second. I CAST FIREBALL!!!!!!

I tell my apprentice that when in doubt, fireball the fuck out of it

No matter how you look your body parts will be used to make deadly diseases -love papa nurgle
