handwritten;
I have spent the last week painstakingly enchanting a small selection of high quality magical staves. Since I am a wizard, I find my own powers of spellcasting are more than sufficient for my needs. As such, I do not actually need the staves I have made. They were produced simply as a way to hone my craft; nothing more.
This means I am giving them away to certain parties that may be in need of them. If you would like an enchanted staff that fires elemental blasts at your foes, you need only make your case to me. Preference will be given to applicants who as of yet possess no useful echoes and agree to submit to some harmless tests.
No time-wasters.

[read: Jovan wants to do as little in-person interaction as possible.]
no subject
I would also appreciate a brief description of any outstanding personalty traits or talents that you possess.
no subject
As for outstanding personality traits, well. I don't want to toot my own horn here, but I am pretty generous and caring!
no subject
I believe that covers everything apart from your choice of enchantment: fire, ice, or lightning.
no subject
Ooh, we get to choose the type too? No need to spoil me or anything! But since you don't seem to mind doing it anyway, I think I'll go with lightning.
[behind his computer screen, he's actually pretty giddy. A LIGHTNING STAFF? HOLY SHIT, that has GOT to look cool.
He begins fantasizing about how unbelievably badass he would look carrying around a stick that could shoot lightning out of it. He hopes he comes out of it more Thor than Gandalf, because he's pretty sure Thor gets more fangirls.]
no subject
Assuming, of course, that you are able to get over your apparent crippling agoraphobia.
no subject
[He doesn't have anything else to do, but it still takes him another couple of hours before he's ready to go over there. He needs to figure out a way to go there in person without giving away what he looks like--he doesn't want anyone making the connection between his number (and his network reputation) and his actual face. Even if it's someone who he's pretty sure he hasn't talked to yet.
So when he knocks on the store's door and steps inside later that day, he's decked out in a winter hat, giant sunglasses, a scarf covering his mouth, and a coat with the hood up over the whole mess.
It's 50 degrees out and he looks both incredibly stupid and incredibly sweaty.]
no subject
Oh, good lord.
[ And with that exceedingly English groan of dismay, he starts poking around beneath the counter. ]
Mr. Agoraphobia, is it? One lightning staff?
no subject
So he just deals with it.]
Yeah. Yeah, the lightning staff is me.
no subject
That's right.
Jovan gets a MAGICAL PIMP CANE. ]
Then this belongs to you. If you could lay your hands on it and tell me what you feel?
[ While magically-inclined people or people with significant intelligence should feel a buzzing energy, people who are less so will feel it less keenly - at minimum, just a mild tingling in the fingertips. UR CALL LISA. ]
no subject
But he tries again, this time with a bit more caution but also holding on to try and get a feel for it.]
It's...it's like a buzzing in my arm.
Is that supposed to happen?
no subject
It certainly is. Come! We shall test if you are capable of using it.
[ If he was wearing wizardly robes and could swish them dramatically to go with his theatrical pronouncement, he would. As things are, he's wearing a green sweatervest. It doesn't have quite the same flair.
Still! He heads out the back door of the shop, which leads to a little walled-in yard with a rock garden. THE TESTING GROUNDS! ]
no subject
Okay...and? What now?
no subject
[ Don't laugh, asshole, he will fry your ass ]
- and focus on the energy within it. Then point it at the stones -
[ With a nod towards the rockery ]
- and will the power to leave the staff. Intent is all you need. It's exceedingly simple.
no subject
Like fucking MAGIC, apparently!
Jovan grabs the staff with both hands for extra steadiness and aims it at the rocks. He isn't sure how to "focus on energy" or "will the power" to do anything (what is this medieval fantasy bullshit), so it takes him a good thirty seconds of standing there pointing the thing and holding his breath before he gets any results.
But then, sure enough, lightning shoots out of the dollar-sign and strikes the stones. Jovan stumbles back a few steps, but when he catches sight of the rock, charred and smoking, he starts laughing--weakly and breathy, but laughing all the same.]
Holy shit!
[He didn't just grasp that staff, he clutched it by the ball and fired that baby like a gun!
Now if only he could be that good in bed.]no subject
[ Excuse him a second while he pulls out a tatty little notepad and a pencil. GOTTA TAKE NOTES. ]
Mmyes - if you could hand the staff back for a moment, so I can assess the remaining enchantment?
[ He tucks his pencil into the pocket of his sweatervest and holds out his hand. ]
no subject
...he just doesn't have a reason to right now.
Even though he has no idea what he's saying--remaining enchantment? what?--Jovan hands him the staff.]
no subject
It should last you a good amount of use yet. When the buzzing is almost too weak for you to feel, you may return to me to have the enchantment restored. Assuming this isn't merely in a matter of days, I shan't charge you for the service.
no subject
Alright.
So...is that it?
no subject
It certainly is. Unless, perhaps, you were waiting for me to reveal my true axe-murderer nature and kill you?
no subject
He turns around to leave, but just before he does, he remembers his manners.]
Uh, thanks.
[Alright, that out of the way, he heads back into the shop and leaves through the front door wanting really really badly to hold the staff up like the dramatic and triumphant last shot of an incredibly popular film but then remembers that there is a dollar sign on the top of this thing and he is in PUBLIC, oh my god.
He shoves the top of the cane inside his jacket and crosses his arms so it's out of view, but he still looks like a total weirdo--just not a pimp.
Nathaniel won't see it, but when Jovan gets home he is going to carefully prop it up against the wall by his closet. He has absolutely no idea what he is going to do with it, but the important thing is, he has it.]
