How people think wizards would talk:

Behold! I have unfurled powers beyond mortal comprehension!

How wizards would actually talk:

If I hear, “why don’t you just channel the infernal essence through an ephemeral plane?” one more goddamn time from someone who hasn’t actually read the fucking rune diagrams, I’m going to lose my shit.

In other words, wizards do exist, they are just called IT specialists.

They would 100% be trying to peddle ape runes inscribed with XP cost (for extra permanency) as the next big investment opportunity

The ape is merely a representational avatar! The true value of the rune lies in possessing it, for it identifies you as a member of an elite cadre of ape rune possessors.
