TranscriptA comic in four panels:

Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.

Gothic sorceress: "Hey, Avian Intelligence, what's the incantation for summoning a fireball?"
AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is "IgnisMe"."

Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.

Gothic sorceress: "Alright, let's give it a shot... IgnisMe!"

Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.

Gothic sorceress: "?!!"

Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.

Gothic sorceress: "You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!"

Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.

AI Parrot: ":sparkle emoji: You're absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is "PyroBolus"."

You literally cannot convince me this guy doesn't also draw porn. There's just something about the art style...

She tries the second one and sets herself on fire again. She complains, and the AI apologises again and says that the correct spell is the first one…

Her fault for using AI in the first place.

As has been established in the previous strip, that's what her school provides instead of familiars. She wasn't happy about it back then and it doesn't look like her opinion is going to change anytime soon.

Always proofread your vibe kodex!

Always check the grimoire.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

She didn’t check the cited source.

Edit: it’s really going to fall apart when wrong AI cites wrong AI citing a wrong source.

Okay, but why is there a self-immolation spell in the first place?

[–] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 25 points 1 month ago

Fire resist + Self immolate = Hugs of Death!

It's for when you want to be one with the fireball. There is nothing more badass than going out in a literal blaze of glory.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Always check what your AI is telling you. After all, it's in the name: Avian, bird-brained.

Is that Pepper? Where is carrot!?

This is Goth Witch, from his side series.

[–] fermuch@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you! Didn't know he had a side series.

Minor quibble, but that dress is very https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FormFittingWardrobe

I guess it's supposed to be fantasy parody, though.

[–] sunbytes@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I guess that's the difference between summoning and casting.

A summon brings it to you.
