The Wizard Tower meme
The sun has set and the stars are aligned in just the right spots. Arcane and primordial power courses through your body as you feel the magic course through your being. Potions, elixers and ingerdiants are strewn about on the table in front of you. In the meantime your helpful familiar/apprentice/lovely assistant stands by at your beck and call, ready for action, research and maybe romace? All of this is the setup for your….
WIZARD TOWER!

Wizard
A powerful sorcerer and magic user, capable of bending reality to their will!
1) Experimentation- What kind of wizard would you be if you didn’t experiment with new ideas? After all, the only real way to know a spell works is to try it out first, right?
2) Research- That’s quite the impressive collection of books you got there! Shelves upon shelves line your walls, their knowledge at your fingertips…all you have to do is find the right one.
3) Destruction- An experiment gone wrong maybe? That eye of the newt certainly didn’t go into the brew! Or perhaps a certain, pesky someone decided to cause you a headache.
4) Rebuilding- Well after whitnessing the complete dismantling of your beloved tower, it’s time to begin rebuilding. Luckily you have magic and a willing, or perhaps unwilling, participant.
5) Tower Defense!- Cast magic missile as fast you can, the enemy is at your doors! Gosh, it’s a good thing that you er…“researched”…all of those destructive spells.
Apprentice
The wizards’ apprentice, the one who is to learn all they can from their master. Is also usually the one who screws things up majorly and has to clean up their own mess (or that of their master.)
1) Experimentation- Much like your master, you too, must undertake the time honored tradition of experimenting.
2) Research- This is the bread and butter of being an apprentice. Or maybe your master is the one who needs the research and is just putting you to work in his stead?
3) Creating a Mess- You’ve done it now, much like Mickey Mouse, you’ve created a horrible mess of epic proportions. Well maybe if you just, oh crap is that your master!?
4) Chores- Whelp this is dull and uneventful, perhaps you could do something to make this go faster? Or maybe make that no-good familiar do something for once.
5) Stand-in- Your master is away, and the hero has come knocking. Obviously you need to be the wizard for the day! How hard can it be?
Familiar
You were summoned as the sorcerer’s personal familiar, their assistant, confidant and typically the one to be experimented on by your master. But don’t worry! Usually they have a way to change you back from being a newt…if only they can find their notes.
1) Experimentation- No, no, why is it always you that gets the curse? Why can’t it ever be that annoying apprentice? Well hopefully the all powerful wizard can turn you back this time.
2) Research- That certainly is a lot of books, and the Towers’ resident wizard has decided to put you to work with helping them sort through it all. Good luck!
3) Summoning- Sort of self-explanatory, but you have headed the call of the one who will be your future master. Hopefully it’s someone nice.
4) Chores- Why do you have to do all of this? Wasn’t it supposed to be the apprentice’s punishment?
5) Searching for Ingredients- Let’s see here, they needed this, this and this… if only you brought the shopping list.
Hero
That one guy who almost always, without fail, seeks the all powerful wizard’s help, usually an end of the world or big bad scenario. Is also sometimes the one besieging the tower.
1) Seeking Help- The world is in immediate peril! Oh no, perhaps that strange person in that tower can help? You’ve heard they’re supposed to be some sort of powerful magic user at any rate.
2) Stop the Destruction- Your town/village/city/the world, has had enough of those dang fireballs and magic missiles being thrown out of the window. It’s time to put an end to the wizard’s wizarding.
3) Becoming the Apprentice- Okay, so one thing led to another and now you’re stuck as an apprentice to the all-powerful wizard. Good luck with that.
