I thought that I would post it as its own thread to get a wider responce.     In the more civialized areas of the Scarred Lands like Calista and Darakeene I see wizards using aprentices as a way to suplement income (like in the quentissential wizard) and in Darakeen and Calista I plan to use the old "mage accademy" as well. these countries rely on mages as a part of their millitary so it makes sence that they would like to be involved with/controll their training. (kind of like hogwarts in harry potter but on a smaller scale.) For Darakeene I figure there would be 2 accademy's one in Melaid (battle mage)and the other as part of the Phylacteric Vault (research mage/sage) in the wild areas aprentices will be doing a lot more "servent" type tasks, cooking/cleaning etc. most mages could always use a research asst. that they can trust so aprentices may work with a former master thet they "clicked with" for a long time on a limited partnership basis as well. I figure there are a llot who learn ehat they can and move on but some are either not adventurous or would rather to continue working with someone that they like/trust. (just like in the real world) the same is true of the masters. who wants to train a new asst/aprentice when you have finally got this one broken in just the way you like?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f644.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll eyes    :rolleyes:"  data-smilie="11"data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /></blockquote>
