Inept Mage: Difference between revisions

 

This differs from [[How Do I Shot Web?]] in that the Inept Mage understands the theory, but can't make it work in practice. Also, [[How Do I Shot Web?]] is usually temporary while the Inept Mage usually remains inept. Quite often, though, an Inept Mage will have moments of [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] when things he tries ''finally'' go off without a hitch, in spectacular fashion, in a critical moment, reminding characters and audience both why they're there.
