“On the road again...”

Remember to watch your back. I suggest mirrors glued to your wrists.
It'd be like driving, just check your mirrors to see what's behind
you.
Two
Ways To Do Things
A young wizard named Jerry and a young knight named Ron fancied
themselves for adventure. A common past time for knights and wizards
of their age who felt particularly reckless. While setting up the
tent for camp Ron watched Jerry prepare a spell.
“So now that I've gathered the ten varieties of berries from the
woods I can mix them together in this cup.” Jerry mumbled magic
words as he mixed the berries for thirty minutes. “I will use this
concoction to write the core of the spell on this blank scroll.”
The writing took about twenty minutes. Ron finished setting up the
tent long ago and now already took off the heavier pieces of his
armor that wouldn't allow him to move well around camp. Jerry
continued narrating himself, Ron wondered if this was to help him
keep track of what he was doing or if he just wanted to show off all
the things he did as a wizard. “Then I rub candle wax on the scroll
right before placing a few other items like spider's web on it.”
The application of the rest of the spell components took another
thirty minutes. “Then with a flick of the wrist...”
The scroll turned into a ball of fire that flew straight for the
wood they'd gathered for the campfire.
Jerry smiled. “And now our campfire is lit! Amazing isn't it?”
Ron groaned, “Yes, yes, so amazing. But how about next time we
start the campfire with a lighter?” He wanted to start cooking
dinner about forty five minutes ago.
