New Ziggurat Scheme 🏯

Greetings fellow wizards,

My dunce of an apprentice has squandered his tuition fees betting on the vermensk empire’s markets, (which if you’ve been following the news on your orbs you all will know is experiencing a major economic decline). To sum up, my apprentice has lost everything.

I tried to warn him against relying on his pitiful divination abilities, he had no chance against some of you more experienced diviners and has only himself to blame.

Nevertheless, as he is in dire need of funds, I have considered imparting the methods of the tried and true Ziggurat Scheme pioneered by Archlich Goldbane back in their apprenticeship days.

I’ve have some skilled crafters enchanters and alchemists who owe me a good sum of gold that I can convince to lend their aid in creating a marketable product.

I’ve set up the ziggurat tier system, initial membership fee, and milestone rewards. I plan to lend my apprentice some gold to buy into the scheme to get the ball rolling. After that it’ll be up to them to sell the product or recruit others to sell it on his behalf. Then those members can do the same, sell or recruit others to sell.

Finally, This is all technically legal per current council regulations, as a genuine product is being sold so there shouldn’t be any risk of being associated with pyramids of any sort. You can ask any cleric to attest to my pure intentions, I will be donating a percentage of my gains to the temple and have already acquired the blessing of the local archbishop.

This brings me to my question:

What products are the considered hot and fashionable to apprentices these days? I’ve heard invisibility cloaks that were all the rage in my college days are now a regulated item by the council?
