I'm pretty sure the graduation exam of a magic school isn't going to forbid spellcasting.


Cages of gremlins and a chaos beast in a giant crystal box (used to scare the apprentices and teach them to be wary).

Why not?

There was a philosophy fial where a professor put a chair on the desk.The instructions were to explain why the chair was there. A student responded with "What chair?" He got an A.

Thank you. It's always good to hear the whole story!

The reason I suggest a non-magical solution for the quiz is to teach them about knowing when to use the big guns and what to do when they don't have access to them.


These anecdotes sound like something that would happen at Greendale Community College.

That sounds like a reasonable test, but not a reasonable graduation exam.

Well, it's a philosophy class not exactly a useful life skill.

So basically if you're a philosophy major you can ask "why would they like fries with that?" instead of "Would you like fries with that?"


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Not Memento! It was Keepsake. Greatest wizard school ever.


It has chairness because you can sit on it and it has backsupport.
That's why it's a chair. That's why it exists there.
A nilist would argue nothing exists, including the chair.
Obviously the instructor was a nilist.

A magic school would have conjurists. They believe that all things are conjured. They also believe the ultimate evil is a ritual of abjuration that would destroy the multiverse.


Which leads us to something else you would find in the school...students and teachers debating over what is what and what is not. TA DA!

(I mean no offense by that, by the way. Just after seeing where the conversation was going and knowing where it began...I kind of saw a pattern.)

Thanks for helping me drag the discussion back on topic.


The chair probably doesn't exist but as far as anyone can tell we're all part of the same delusion, so whether any one person or object does or does not exist, we might as well act as though we do.

:P

@TCG, that was in response to the non-magical final exam, not the philosophy exam.
