Wizards who partake in the black potion are no better than warlocks who grovel to their patron for power
To see so many young apprentices turn to the black potion, for shame! We are wizards! Not warlocks, not witches, wizards! You would turn to such dark methods so quickly? Then you are no better than a warlock who relies on his patron to make him charismatic or a witch who relies on her hexes to overcome her lack of wisdom.
We were not born with power like sorcerers, did not beg for power like warlocks, we were born powerless and yet wrote the very tomes that have changed the realms time and time again! The realms are in turmoil, no self respecting wizard would ever deny such a thing, but we must not allow that turmoil to keep us from our scrolls, our orbs, our magic!
Bide your time young apprentices, ponder your orb, study your tomes, collaborate with other wizards, the time will come when your magic will mature and you will find a proper kingdom to accept you as their court wizard, but no self respecting kingdom would accept such a disgraced wizard as one who would partake in such malicious alchemy.
