what if magic was real but it was treated the way music is now with different genres and like “oh youre still into conjuring? thats cool I guess. recently ive been getting into third-wave post-necromancy, it’s some pretty heavy stuff”
“what do you mean you’ve never learned FIREBALL, it’s a CLASSIC”
“idk I’m not really into evocations.”
“how can you not be into ANY evocations?”
“well, it’s kind of dad magic, isn’t it?”
DAD MAGIC

I think I mentioned this before, but this is how music consumers talk about music they consume. This is not generally how music composers/performers talk about music they compose/perform.
So if we actually tried to imagine how magic practitioners would discuss magic (assuming magic took on a similar role in modern society to music) it would sound more like this:
You’re a spell maker rags who rags on these new upstarts who never learned to make a proper fireball. Not because it’s “a classic,” mind you, but rather because “It’s foundational! It’s the most basic form and learning to do it well gives you a strong grasp of the underlying theory. People who skip learning this are weaker spell makers, and their work lack fluidity!”
Spell casters, meanwhile hate this new trend spell makers started of writing free-form verbal incantations. They hate it the same way instrumentalists hate music composers who write shit in ¼ time. What’s wrong with writing verbal incantations in iambic pentameter, huh? Stop trying to edgy!
Wizards who work private events are sick to death of ppl requesting the same 5 transformation spells. Every single wedding 8 different people come up and ask you, “Do the one where you turn the whipped cream on top of the wedding cake into a flying dove! The… the what’s it called again? The FREE BIRD!”
