    Wizards are the only ones who actually had to work for their magical abilities. Everyone else just inherited it or were gifted it by a higher power. Wizards are otherwise normal people who realized that they can figure it out on their own. And yet they’re somehow always considered the haughty, elitist ones.

      It’s probably because whenever spellcasters are being compared, a Wizard comes in and says something like “we’re the only ones who had to work for our magic”, as if finding a powerful entity and convincing it to make a not horribly skewed bargain, learning to commune with the land itself, or following the orders given by a deity isn’t “work”.

      And don’t Bards also have to study their magic?
