Video, back on the train

I've mentioned this before, but we've gotten enough new people since then that I dare say it's worth repeating.

I am a wizard. That means that I have absolutely no inherited magical talent, but that I can still manipulate ambient magical energy in the environment through carefully calculated understanding of how it behaves when it interacts with a living person.

The practical upshot of this is that not only can I cast spells, but I can teach anyone else how to cast spells. It doesn't require you to be born with power, just to be able to use your mind. And to be able to do a lot of math.

Since we constantly find ourselves in increasingly bizarre situations (though honestly compared to some of the places we've been, that last world felt positively homey.), I imagine it can only be to our benefit to expand our skillsets as much as possible. I've never felt very comfortable with the idea of direct face to face violence, but I've still been doing my best to learn from Monsieur Rieper's lessons, for example.

So what I'm getting at is, if anyone feels confident in their mathematics skills, I would be willing to teach them how to be a wizard. And if anyone ISN'T confident in their mathematics skills, I can also be a passable math tutor until you reach such a point that you are. It's not EASY by any stretch of the imagination, but it is achievable by anyone who is willing to put the work in.

[... Well, when life hands you the opposite of lemons, why not take the chance? Certainly Caitlin would have been all for trying something like this, if their own Earth had allowed for the possibility.]

Perhaps I would be of some use, Samata Mahto? Math is quite straightforward for me, and I could help tutor as well.

It would save me a lot of work, I'll admit. If you can get anyone to beginner level calculus and vector equations, send them my way. They'll be about ready.

Calculus and vectors?

[Hello, familiar territory!]

Consider it done; and consider the offer open to everyone responding to this post - I can attend your lessons, as well, Samata, to make arranging a meeting place easier.

[Itsuki, pay attention!]

Then we have an accord! What should I call you?

Given my own lack of titles, Professor, Webmind will do just fine.
