I wonder what would happen in the same scenario but with John Constantine or Dr. Fate?

Title: "Spellbound Tech Support"

INT. TECH SUPPORT CENTER - DAY

Gandalf, looking frustrated, is on a magical crystal call with PATRICK, a tech support agent.

GANDALF: Yes, hello. I seem to be having trouble with the spell "Aqua Eructo." It's not producing water as it should.

PATRICK: Okay, sir. I apologize for the inconvenience. Let's try a few troubleshooting steps. Have you checked your magical energy levels?

GANDALF: sighs Yes, yes, they're perfectly fine.

PATRICK: Alright. Have you tried using the spell in a different location? Sometimes environmental factors can affect spell performance.

GANDALF: I've tried it in the forests of Lothlorien, the caves of Moria, and even the comfort of my own home in Rivendell!

PATRICK: Hmm, that is unusual. Let me check the spell's database for any known issues or updates.

Patrick puts Gandalf on hold. A few minutes later, he returns.

PATRICK: I'm sorry for the wait. I couldn't find any issues with the spell. However, I did notice that it's been a while since your last system update. That could be the problem.

GANDALF: rolls his eyes Fine, fine. I'll update my system and give it another go.

Gandalf ends the call and proceeds to update his magical system. After a few minutes, he tries the spell again, but it still doesn't work.

INT. TECH SUPPORT CENTER - DAY

Patrick is still at his desk, looking stumped. Suddenly, DARTH VADER, a dark lord with tech expertise, walks in.

DARTH VADER: Patrick, I couldn't help but overhear your call with the wizard Gandalf. I believe I know the solution to his problem.

PATRICK: surprised Really? What is it?

DARTH VADER: The spell "Aqua Eructo" is a bit outdated. The new version is "Aqua Fluxus." It's a more efficient and reliable spell for water production.

PATRICK: impressed Thank you, Lord Vader. I'll let Gandalf know right away.

Patrick quickly contacts Gandalf and shares the solution. Gandalf, although a bit annoyed, is grateful for the help.

GANDALF: Well, I suppose I should keep up with the times. Thank you for your assistance.

Gandalf ends the call, and Patrick and Darth Vader share a chuckle.

FADE OUT.

[END OF EPISODE]

Title: "Spellbound Tech Support"

Scene 1: Gandalf is in his study, trying to cast a spell, but it's not working. He's getting frustrated and decides to call tech support.

Gandalf: (on the phone) "Yes, hello. I'm having trouble with a spell, it's not working as it should."

Patrick: (a cranky, burned-out wizard on the other end of the phone) "Okay, sir, can you please tell me the name of the spell and the incantation you're using?"

Scene 2: Gandalf and Patrick are on the phone, with Patrick trying to troubleshoot the problem.

Gandalf: "The spell is called 'Flame of Anor' and the incantation is 'Ignis exortus Anor'."

Patrick: "Hmm, that should be working. Have you tried using a different wand? Sometimes the wand can be the problem."

Gandalf: "I've been using the same wand for centuries, it's not the problem."

Patrick: "Well, I'm not sure what to tell you, sir. Have you tried turning it off and on again?"

Gandalf: (sarcastically) "Yes, I've tried turning the spell off and on again. That's not the problem."

Scene 3: Gandalf is still on the phone with Patrick, but they're not making any progress.

Patrick: "I'm sorry, sir, but I'm not sure what else to try. I'll have to transfer you to one of our senior tech support wizards."

Gandalf: (frustrated) "Fine, transfer me."

Scene 4: Gandalf is now on the phone with Darth Vader, who's working as a senior tech support wizard.

Darth Vader: (in his iconic, deep voice) "Lord Gandalf, I sense a disturbance in your spell. The problem is not with your wand, but with the ingredients you're using. You're using dragon's fire, but the spell requires phoenix feathers."

Gandalf: (surprised) "Phoenix feathers? I didn't know that. Thank you, Darth Vader, you've been most helpful."

Darth Vader: "It's my job, Lord Gandalf. May the force be with you."

Scene 5: Gandalf is back in his study, with the correct ingredients. He casts the spell and it works perfectly.

Gandalf: (to himself) "I'll have to remember to use phoenix feathers next time. And maybe not call tech support."

End of Episode.

r/RPGMemes, I hope you enjoy this sketch comedy episode of Gandalf contacting tech support for a spell that's not working. Special thanks to trolololol for the fantastic concept.

Do you mean enterprise nx-01 or is it ncc-1701? Or is it bloody b, C, d, E, f or g?

Sorry but autocorrect is making things hard for me

This made me nightmares as a kid.

That's it, I'm deleting my account on ArcaneOverflow, everyone acts all high and mighty and is always saying "search the Wizardly World Weave properly, foolish simpleton". I'm going back to my pa's farm!
