Tavrin and Wizardry - mini future headcanon
So it's not really a spoiler cos I put it in all her bio stuff lol but Tavrin does discover she's a sorcerer during the events of Anamnesis Red. She's always been one, she just never focused magic on even pre-amnesia, and used it only situationally. Post amnesia she assumed her only magic abilities were all related to the tadpoles she was nomming on during DLMKY/game canon.
I'm sure you've all guessed Gale will be quite thrilled about her newly discovered propensity for magic. Happy to teach her how to be better at it for his own personal reasons (*shoves my last wip share under the rug* pay no attention to someone else's motivations).
But in the follow-up series, the chances of her deciding Sorcery isn't versatile enough and wanting to put some efforts into wizardry are not 0 lol. She would definitely still keep a little bit of Sorcery, because I think Meta Magic: Subtle Spell is crucial to her for stealth reasons. But Wizardry would give her versatility and flexibility that Sorcery does not.
Even in Sorcery, her spells were largely utility based: Darkness, Shadow Walk, Shadowblade, Invisibility. The exception was Chaos Bolt, which she would still only use for utility, not destruction. She prefers to do things with her hands. But there are things that simply can't be achieved without magic. At least not in a practical way.
Tavrin's not interested in evocation spells of destruction, or conjuration spells for minions, or illusion spells of showmanship, or enchantment spells to manipulate people. These are "redundant" spells for her because she already feels she can achieve the same end goals without magic. She doesn't need destructive spells because she's already got murder and power with her bare hands down. She doesn't need conjuration or enchantment because she's already plenty skilled at deception and manipulation. She doesn't want illusion spells because she's not really artistically inclined (except with dance, to a point. That's another story). And Gale already has a lot of these skills covered anyway.
And after talking with @asorceresswrites I realized that the school of magic she'd be most drawn to is Abjuration. It thrives on utility, but also protection is a huge divergence from what she's used to. So I can see her being drawn to this magic, even if subconsciously because she knows deep down that she was not built to protect. So abilities like Arcane/Projected Ward and spells like Shield, Nondetection, Protection from Energy/Good & Evil, Banishment, and Counterspell would be of particular interest to her. However, she also would gravitate towards Transmutation spells, such as Water Breathing, Blink, Message, and Mending, and even a few Divination spells such as Comprehend Language.
I haven't 100% decided if she goes this route, but there's a high chance of it because of the way she works lol
This conclusion also provides me with two fun bonuses, that Anamnesis Red readers will probably appreciate lol
In my interpretation, Morena is an Abjuration wizard. Hello mother/daughter bonding opportunities <3
She gets to learn Otiluke's Resilient Sphere out of pure spite because she fucking hates that spell.
Anyhoo, if you read this far ty for listening to my ramblings <3
