WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT YOU’VE β€˜HACKED’ MANA DRAIN

WHAT DO YOU MEAN β€˜DRINK SOME JUICE’

WHAT IS β€˜LOW BLOOD SUGAR’

WHY IS THIS WORKING

I HATE YOU SO MUCH

β€œWhat do you mean I don’t have to burn half my blood to create a fireball?”

β€œWhy can you teleport more than once without vomiting? WTF is β€˜quantum displacement awareness’???”

β€œYou know HOW many spells? HOW? ... What do you mean β€˜my spell book’?”

β€œOoooh, you’re just summoning water portions from the Plane of Water... Lol I thought I HAD to combine hydrogen and oxygen molecules to generate water in small amounts. That’s so much easier then what I was doing!”

On another network where this was posted, it spawned comparisons with schooled musicians vs self-taught ones, CS-trained developers vs bootcamp developers, etc.

Also a ton of book recommendations, where this contrast is present, ranging from core to the story, to just mentioned tangentially.

I'll make one comment per recommendation, in case someone can second or supplement a particular one.
