The inattentive apprentice just can't resist sneaking into the forbidden part of the laboratory. What conconctions and devices is the master hiding from the young mage? A little peek can't hurt, right?
2.	I hope this love potion will do the trick 03:33	lyrics	buy track
The inattentive apprentice fancies a young witch from the nearby village. A little alchemy will surely help with courtship. But the potion is not working as intended. ...Or is it?
3.	I just can't stop reading this tome of ancient lore 02:49	lyrics	buy track
The inattentive apprentice usually has a hard time to focus at all. But suddenly the young scholar just can't put down this dusty old tome. Is this some kind of curse?
4.	I shouldn't have summoned those spirits last night 03:35	lyrics	buy track
A little summoning ritual seemed like a great Idea last night. But the inattentive apprentice summoned spirits that are quite difficult to handle! And way to many! They haven't dispersed at dawn and are now haunting the poor summoner. we have all been there, haven't we?

about

Our first time encountering the inattentive apprentice, struggling with education and other aspects of growing up.

Why must wizardry be so complicated?

"I am not allowed in this part of the laboratory"

the inattentive apprentice whispers, sneaking into the forbidden part of the laboratory. What concoctions and devices is the master hiding from the young mage?
A little peek can't hurt, right?

"I hope this love potion will do the trick"

the inattentive apprentice thinks, brewing a potion for the young witch from the nearby village.
A little alchemy will surely help with courtship!
But the potion is not working as intended. ...Or is it?

"I just can't stop reading this tome of ancient lore"

the inattentive apprentice notices. Usually it is hard to focus.
But suddenly the young scholar just can't put down this dusty old tome.
Is this some kind of curse?

"I shouldn't have summoned those spirits last night"

the inattentive apprentice laments waking up.
A little summoning ritual seemed like a great Idea. But the inattentive apprentice summoned spirits that are quite difficult to handle! And way to many! They haven't dispersed at dawn and are now haunting the poor summoner.
we have all been there, haven't we?
