😁 ... yeah, you know what ? he also does ! ... but he turns his maids invisible and he keeps his See Invisible spell on all the time ... he doesn't like to share, you know ... others shouldn't even take a look at his maids 😜 What ? Did you think he wastes magic on a levitating book, tea pot and broom, when he can have invisible maids ? 😁

Humph! Show-off! I prefer maids in my castle. Blond maids. In uhh... very, VERY short outfits. See if you can top THAT, old Geezer!! Hah! (Yes, Ok, my friend @TheBard I DON"T have a castle, but there's no need for that show-off to know that. is there?)
TheBard
Good question ... perhaps it's better for him, if he can just enjoy the view ... you know, how it can end, if you enjoy it to much 😉

hey! i like the 1st image one the most. i think cat stole the scene too much, 1st one here is quiet and balance.😍
TheBard
I first entered this one, but changed to one with a levitating cat ... so I know now, who's to blame ... the cat 😁
panos
Uhhh.... he does?... ism't he, you know.. a thousand years old? I hope he can 'levitate ' something else... 😁
TheBard
Yeah, I was also expecting a little more, but ... 25W / 32L , Win rate: 43.9% ... so I guess, will turn out somewhere on the lower half ... we will see 😅
TheBard
Thank you very much 😊 ... but as it looks currently, probably lower half ... as usual 😅
