Well, I think your adorable cousin looks very very handsome! Sure ask him about the doodads. I'm wondering what do they do. Do they power his spells or are they potions or does he throw them like grenades to activate a spell? So many questions!!! Maybe I should just ask him out to coffee at that Greek place you suggested

Now THAT is a real wizard! He waers robes....sort of... And he has a staff!!! And a hat! ..er...well, OK, THAT is...not a definitive sign of a wizard, let me tell you, Captain....of course not! And we can say he is very handsome. But not very, VERY handsome. Nope. No way! (BtW, I can ask about that belt. AND the doodads)

Then it's a cool combination ... but thinking, in a world with magic, technology doesn't get invented, because you can do everything with magic ... (and the wizards will make sure, no inventor survives, who invents anything that makes them obsolete 😁)

...and what about BEFORE I very bravely went out to the Ends of the Multiverse, looking for Lost Grimoires? Did we go to that Greek place I must have mantioned, oh, a gazillion times? did we, Captain? ...Humph!!

laughing, what do you mean near me? You're out in the wild blue yonder looking for the 3rd grimoire! At least your cousin stays in the big city

Aw, no!! Nothing fake about him! (He's not the wizard of Oz :):):) ) He has magic AND technology - that's the world he lives in

Great thinking and there are indeed, many stories with such a background! But, imagination is endless. All Worlds are possible!

Awesome! I love that belt with the magical doodads! I want to steal it. He looks amazing!

Is he just faking magic with technology ? 😳😉
