Basic Thaumaturgy for the Emotionally Incompetent

In the Academy shared with "How To Train Your Dungeoneers," "Basic Thaumaturgy for the Emotionally Incompetent" introduces Fabrisse Kestovar, an aspiring thaumaturge who struggles with emotional control, magic, and submitting assignments correctly. Despite his profound ineptitude, Fabrisse, a rock collector, pastry enthusiast, and bird whisperer, finds himself bonded to an ancient magical relic. This artifact, dormant for forty-seven years, activates and connects him to the PRAXIS NODE, a hidden, possibly AI-driven interface. The PRAXIS NODE provides cryptic quests and calibration objectives, even as Fabrisse amasses "historically significant" rocks he considers useless. He is the sole person aware of this cosmic tutorial, which is disguised as a sacred rite. The story features a magic system reliant on emotional resonance, a protagonist who is a reluctant chosen one, and system messages with a distinct personality. Readers can expect a blend of detailed mechanics and intuitive magic learning, slow progression in both power and romance, intentionally rhyming spell mnemonics, and exceptionally unappealing magic rocks.
