“I'd be amazing! At archmagery. Amazing! He won't even talk to me because I don't have a stupid robe and hat. Pffft.
The most amazing archmage this land has ever seen can't just have any robe and hat. I need to show him that I'm something special, and I know just how to do it.
Go out there and kill some of those hippogryph things. Bring me back a TON of feathers.
You heard me! A whole bunch of feathers! Go go, I'll have the robe ready for them by the time you get back.”
