Of course. But if playing a flute had even a little bit to do with carpentry then surely you would at least be better at it than you were before you began your career.
What skills have even a little bit to do with adventuring? Because those skills you should be a little bit better at than when you first started adventuring. Right?
Hi, my name is Tim, and I am a Wizard. My goal is to become really powerful in the ancient arts and learn old, powerful magics.
I spend most of my career researching in libraries and museums, however, that can only get me so far.
So I spend another portion of my career meeting in lodges with other Wizards, sharing magical secrets.
However, I feel my progress has come at a bit of a stand still, so I must do the next best thing!
I am going to venture out to places of great magic, and see if I can unearth their secrets!

Hi, it is me, Tim again!
Boy, was that a journey that took me a decade and a half.
I met a lot of really neat people!
But there were a lot of scary times too!
Luckily, I never had to squash anything, well, maybe a big rat, but aside from that, all of the places I went to were uninhabited like they were for centuries before me!
One of the places required me to climb this really big wall which was slick with water, but that is okay, because I just levitated right up that obstacle!
Yeah, I did that cool spell, learned it from a Wizard many years back.
Another place had some gnarly looking water I might had to of swam through, but luckily I was able to teleport to the other side!
That spell? Learned it from a fairy just the night before.
In case you're wondering, I'm not very strong, so my Athletic skills aren't the best.
That is why I spent my formative years studying, to supplement my weaknesses!
Somebody once asked me if I would ever wield a sword.
Why wield a sword when you can cast a spell to do it for you?!?
I'm no good at History either, believe it or not.
But, I didn't have to worry, because my Divination game was on point!
Now, what way is North? I know! *
casts a spell that tells him North*
As you can tell, Tim the Wizard is very excited to tell us about his journey that turned him from a simple Novice, to a Grand Master.
But, it seems Tim didn't improve on certain things. But why?
Perhaps it is because he relied too much on other things to get the job done for him?
Kind of like other characters who lack and have party members who can do it for them.
