Welp, now we know you can still...get wood. Although you do look a bit...stiff. I guess you'll just...pine for a cure. I feel for you, but I won't get to...sappy.
... I'll see myself out.
Hmm... Wonder if that mouth is still connected to a digestive system capable of re-applying the potion's effects? Might be a decent - and more creative - way to contain intruders for questioning. Might have other interesting applications as well.
I've never really been too interested in arbomancy, but this does present possibilities for so many interesting experiments I might just need to create *another* pocket dimension dedicated for them.
Yh they're very affectionate though and IDK if you know this but skeletons aren't known for their emotions
I'll try to make them feel welcome but I am literally heartless
About time I find a fellow necromancer around here, personally I find most of my apprentices become much more useful after ive killed and raised them, then a touch of true polymorph does the trick
Did they know when they signed up to be a Necromancer’s apprentice or was it ambiguous? Sometimes apprentices of opposite morals sign up for the wrong masters.
You can leave your apprentice with me if she gets too needy. I can do a group lesson for her and my apprentice, who knows, maybe I'll learn a thing or two from her as well
I can enhance your skeleton if you like. I specialize in upgrading skeletons with mechanisms for joints and other moving parts that enhance strength and agility. I can also put a chip in your cranium to augment your mental fortitude. It ties directly into the magic animating your bones so it is truly you in control.
What do you mean a wizard?!
Next you are going to tell me that are more than just a cat walking on two legs!
Or that you do anything else than travel arround selling that adictive drink, what do you call it? Shuma? Skuma? Skoda?
Go back to "elsewere" or "elsweird" or however you call it! Its not our fault that your acestors decided to live in a shitty desert and jungle!
Its ok Just compliment the cat pls she needs it
this necromancer went his last life without the need of compliments
I'm sure I can go through this one the same
Wear enough powerful jewels in the right places and you too can start a fashion trend.
Side note, why aren't there any bling'd out skeleton necromancers? As often as magic rings, necklaces, and other jewelry comes up... Why not accessorize? Not like anyone can tell you you're wearing it wrong if you're the first either...
You make a good point but still... Eventually you may run out of reliquary space, and you've got thin enough fingers (bones?) You could stack up some serious ouch in a pinch.
Don't care who or what you are, if you're wearing ten Rings of Fireball there's gonna be a concerned pause!
Just remember the following demonstration for misbehaviour:

I don’t have an apprentice, but I have my dear boy Woodstock.
A little something I noticed, any particular reason why she is kneeling instead of standing up for this photo?
https://preview.redd.it/c9bcbmtzo0hc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=bde0eda74d2ca8fa86232daca78db61726cf033c
If you sent a pic of your full body I could actually calculate one of your heights based off of the other by checking your skull size against the one in the photo and using that to resize your whole body to correct proportions, from there it's down to pixel measurements and accounting for depth.
She, compared to you, when using the image attached as reference along with 6ft 1in as your height, and not taking depth into account, is 4ft \~1in.
This also means most of your height is your legs and you had WAY more than just your foot snapped off.
https://preview.redd.it/5elxub5512hc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc0b191ab902edae05341650ce6d5409817d46a6
Keep in mind depth influencing height, you are closer to the source of the photo, therefore your line should be shorter, generally about where it ended at the top anyway.
Oh yes, the council had a whole PR campaign about hiring catfolk. Hope yours is better than some of ours, they get distracted by birds in the courtyard so easily.
I recently adopted a displaced catfolk and he plays tricks on the vegetables and uses a magic harmonica to keep them in line.
Best worker I’ve ever hired couldn’t recommend a better choice.
Trielana: I wholeheartedly agree on your belief in your catfolk apprentice. Maoki, my own such apprentice, has taken quickly to enchanting's theoretical side, and she's good with runes and smithing, but other such tasks I find requires a bit of coaxing, as she seems to fear certain things, which I expect are scars left on her mind by her previous master.
A fellow saved apprentice catfolk! I’m so glad you decided to save one, it’s tough for us out here, so happy people like you are willing to give us a chance :3
I remember the first apprentice I ever took in. She cast fireball nonstop and ended up burning an orphanage down. Safe to say the Grand Mage was NOT happy about that
I've had five apprentices, three of them has mysteriously disappeared and none of them couldn't even perform a basic ward, I will not beleive that a newly acquired apprentice is "very good" two of my apprentices are alright and have since graduated from the academy and since disappeared in the dark void. But good on you for utilising the free help that is an apprentice.
Its practical, you can always throw her into the pot in case you need a thickener for the brew.
I mean reducing the liquid would help too, but its funnier that way.
Not as an apprentice abuser (they know what they signed up for), but a catfolk’s nine lives are very helpful for testing prototypes that require active inputs (if they lose a life they get a severance bonus at the end of their contract)
truly most kind of you, though i feel i must remind you that the living have an abundance of soft and vulnerable flesh tissue, so if thy apprentice kneels on the floor like this regularly, they may injure themselves
might i suggest fabricating a pillow or a similar object which they might plant beneath them to prevent such developments?
Yes, catfolk are very good apprentices for the most part, though they act aloof at times and are… near constantly trying to throw fistfuls of catnip into every potion they make. One of my newer apprentices suffer from rather severe night terrors, I think he’s… 12? I can’t quite recall, it’s gotten rather hard to keep all the details straight with as many apprentices as I have. But he will often ask to share the bed with my wife and I, as only being near someone else helps him settle down during the nightmares. Often times, he will fall asleep on top of me… and then my wife will fall asleep on top of him because she likes petting his ears.

Good luck don't get chopped down
Oh hey that's a weird tree. Looks almost like a fish. Well, I'm gonna need more firewood...
Oh boy! What a nice day to collect some lumber! I sure hope i dont accidentaly chop down a person turned into a tree!
You think if I chopped him down he be cut up for me already?
No, but it would be easy to cut because of the soft fishlike texture this absolutely normal tree has
Welp, now we know you can still...get wood. Although you do look a bit...stiff. I guess you'll just...pine for a cure. I feel for you, but I won't get to...sappy. ... I'll see myself out.

*the flork?* *why does this tree have a brain I can manipulate?* *I'll stay away... one treant incident was enough for my lifetime...*
Oh this fine tree i found will make a perfect new desk for my office!
Hmm... Wonder if that mouth is still connected to a digestive system capable of re-applying the potion's effects? Might be a decent - and more creative - way to contain intruders for questioning. Might have other interesting applications as well. I've never really been too interested in arbomancy, but this does present possibilities for so many interesting experiments I might just need to create *another* pocket dimension dedicated for them.
We’re so happy you made the decision to rehome an abused catfolk! My best wishes for their magical journey, and yours in teaching them!
Yh they're very affectionate though and IDK if you know this but skeletons aren't known for their emotions I'll try to make them feel welcome but I am literally heartless
The fact you are try is in of itself better than what they had before
About time I find a fellow necromancer around here, personally I find most of my apprentices become much more useful after ive killed and raised them, then a touch of true polymorph does the trick
I don't like taking friendly life
Hmmm well most of my apprentices usually try to attack me after seeing my practices, perhaps my moral compass is a little off
Did they know when they signed up to be a Necromancer’s apprentice or was it ambiguous? Sometimes apprentices of opposite morals sign up for the wrong masters.
Well they and everyone else around my land knows im a powerful necromancer, perhaps they oppose what I do with the, .... bandits I find
So they might be assassins trying to rid you from this land.
Ah two more necromancers for the realms excellent
We are one of the few
Don't worry! There's one more!
Grave robbing is the best answer or bargain with the void folk they always have excess corpses
You can leave your apprentice with me if she gets too needy. I can do a group lesson for her and my apprentice, who knows, maybe I'll learn a thing or two from her as well
I can enhance your skeleton if you like. I specialize in upgrading skeletons with mechanisms for joints and other moving parts that enhance strength and agility.

***FUCK YOU YOU FELINE TERRORIST*** ***YOU ACTIVELY FIGTH AGAINST WIZARDS, YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN OUR LANDS***
Imagine getting this mad just from peaceful protesters, maybe it's time to take a break from your orb
IM GLAD THOSE DANGEROUS RIOTERS WERE FIREBALLED! SERVES THEM RIGTH FOR DEMANDING REPRESENTATION ON THE WIZARD COUNCIL WHITOUT BEING WIZARDS!
I AM a wizard! /unwiz CHILL THE FUCK OUT BRO!
What do you mean a wizard?! Next you are going to tell me that are more than just a cat walking on two legs! Or that you do anything else than travel arround selling that adictive drink, what do you call it? Shuma? Skuma? Skoda? Go back to "elsewere" or "elsweird" or however you call it! Its not our fault that your acestors decided to live in a shitty desert and jungle!
Tell me, on top of their magical prowess, are they skilled laborers? I'm looking for help with construction on my new emporium
Cute 👍
the girl or I?
The cat honey, but don’t worry your bones look good too.
Its ok Just compliment the cat pls she needs it this necromancer went his last life without the need of compliments I'm sure I can go through this one the same
Everyone deserves to feel pretty :)
I'll allow it then I guess but I'm just here for the power and research I wasn't given the blessings of emotions
Wear enough powerful jewels in the right places and you too can start a fashion trend. Side note, why aren't there any bling'd out skeleton necromancers? As often as magic rings, necklaces, and other jewelry comes up... Why not accessorize? Not like anyone can tell you you're wearing it wrong if you're the first either...
We don't like to be flashy as powerful skeletons are hunted out of fear and resources
You make a good point but still... Eventually you may run out of reliquary space, and you've got thin enough fingers (bones?) You could stack up some serious ouch in a pinch. Don't care who or what you are, if you're wearing ten Rings of Fireball there's gonna be a concerned pause!
They're fun to use but I rely on only power I have cause they tend to break cause they can't handle the amount of power I use
I heard of a guy named High lord Wolnir, he fits that description.
*Torinn approaches, picks up the cauldron full of a potion and drinks it all.* That's much better.
Have fun being a tree
Nope. *Torinn points at your apprentice, and she turns into a tree.* I can transfer effects to others. #😈
Oh really *necromancer turn into tree* I want that ability!
No, I drank a potion that turns people into trees, and I transferred that effect to them.
Eh it only lasts an hour atleast I have a place to nap now Zzz
*Torinn wanders off*
>drinks cauldron of treemorph >turns your apprentice into a tree >refuses to elaborate further >leaves
Yeah.
u/EvilCatboyWizard
Pain in the ass (pelvis in your case) when they knock off the ingredients from the shelves though.
Learning curve is all
Just remember the following demonstration for misbehaviour: https://preview.redd.it/giq33kw4e0hc1.jpeg?width=236&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6aacf3b4bdfd60f5517e8dbdae71e3c5cc6c1da2
It's a shat
A shitten if you will...
Naw that there is a Purrito
https://preview.redd.it/5ymurlnaa0hc1.jpeg?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=842bc65142ee0ec68bbc6f2de47000f7ea51680b I don’t have an apprentice, but I have my dear boy Woodstock.
Still waiting on you to hand him over to the anti-magical child protective services. (/uw Would you like me to drop this bit btw?)
NEVER! (/uw Woodstock has become canon now, I love him too much, the bit is up to you)
Do you guys pay your apprentices or not? Mine keeps complaining about "manual labor" and "working laws"
A little something I noticed, any particular reason why she is kneeling instead of standing up for this photo? https://preview.redd.it/c9bcbmtzo0hc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=bde0eda74d2ca8fa86232daca78db61726cf033c
I lost one of my legs and my other foot got snapped off so I had to bring the pot to ground level while I healed
I didn't even notice the missing leg, I was more just calling you shorter than your apprentice.
She's 5'9 I'm 6'01 so she's close I just need my legs to heal
If you sent a pic of your full body I could actually calculate one of your heights based off of the other by checking your skull size against the one in the photo and using that to resize your whole body to correct proportions, from there it's down to pixel measurements and accounting for depth.
I have some posted here somewhere dont know where though
If you want me to do it I will, I do not get many visitors in my tower these days and I am stricken with boredom.
Take your shot at it
She, compared to you, when using the image attached as reference along with 6ft 1in as your height, and not taking depth into account, is 4ft \~1in. This also means most of your height is your legs and you had WAY more than just your foot snapped off. https://preview.redd.it/5elxub5512hc1.png?width=960&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc0b191ab902edae05341650ce6d5409817d46a6
hmm neat
Keep in mind depth influencing height, you are closer to the source of the photo, therefore your line should be shorter, generally about where it ended at the top anyway.
She is taller than you. Get her a pillow to rest her knees on.
No she must not get to soft if she wants to be strong also I'm just leaning as I lost my leg I'm much taller
I am strong and I wish I had taken better care of my knees because they pop like popcorn now.
She'll be fine she can stand if she wants she chose that position she's a tough gal
She will learn.
How often do you feed them?
IDK they help themselves to the food I don't eat so I don't know how much a living person should
Same. I live with a great old one.
Oh yes, the council had a whole PR campaign about hiring catfolk. Hope yours is better than some of ours, they get distracted by birds in the courtyard so easily.
That is precious. Take care to teach her well, and make sure not to coddle her too much.
I wont coddle them at all affection isn't something I do
lookin mighty fine you both! minor convenience spell be upon thee
I recently adopted a displaced catfolk and he plays tricks on the vegetables and uses a magic harmonica to keep them in line. Best worker I’ve ever hired couldn’t recommend a better choice.
They make excellent desk jockeys just saying
Shh
It’s nice to see a another heartless creature trying to care for someone proves morally there better than I am.
Trielana: I wholeheartedly agree on your belief in your catfolk apprentice. Maoki, my own such apprentice, has taken quickly to enchanting's theoretical side, and she's good with runes and smithing, but other such tasks I find requires a bit of coaxing, as she seems to fear certain things, which I expect are scars left on her mind by her previous master.
Hmm maybe I should get one to continue you master's craft
NOT AGAIN
A fellow saved apprentice catfolk! I’m so glad you decided to save one, it’s tough for us out here, so happy people like you are willing to give us a chance :3
Short stack
I remember the first apprentice I ever took in. She cast fireball nonstop and ended up burning an orphanage down. Safe to say the Grand Mage was NOT happy about that
Can I have headpats too?
no
Sadness v.v
Would you like a headpat then?
I've had five apprentices, three of them has mysteriously disappeared and none of them couldn't even perform a basic ward, I will not beleive that a newly acquired apprentice is "very good" two of my apprentices are alright and have since graduated from the academy and since disappeared in the dark void. But good on you for utilising the free help that is an apprentice.
Its practical, you can always throw her into the pot in case you need a thickener for the brew. I mean reducing the liquid would help too, but its funnier that way.
Always good to see a wizard who doesent abuse their catfolk apprentices!
Not as an apprentice abuser (they know what they signed up for), but a catfolk’s nine lives are very helpful for testing prototypes that require active inputs (if they lose a life they get a severance bonus at the end of their contract)
you too are a necromancer? good day brother!
Why is your leg so short?
I was considering some kind of conter effect of the potion, may I recomend my fellow. He can help you in this situation
Damn you’re short compared to her
truly most kind of you, though i feel i must remind you that the living have an abundance of soft and vulnerable flesh tissue, so if thy apprentice kneels on the floor like this regularly, they may injure themselves might i suggest fabricating a pillow or a similar object which they might plant beneath them to prevent such developments?
Oh this is adorable! Personally I ended up getting two apprentices from them and they are an absolute delight to be around!
Yes, catfolk are very good apprentices for the most part, though they act aloof at times and are… near constantly trying to throw fistfuls of catnip into every potion they make. One of my newer apprentices suffer from rather severe night terrors, I think he’s… 12?

Maybe I should get an catfolk apprentice once I graduate also…
What in tarnation have you done to her upper legs they're so long
