comment |
The Sorcerer's Apprentice is an original webcomic from the desk of Bwillett / Clowprincess / Nasdreks, author of other fan webcomics such as Cardcaptor Torika and Queen of Games.Victoria Evans is a (relatively speaking) seemingly normal 17-year-old girl from White Ivy, a seemingly-normal town in Connecticut. One day, she takes a seemingly-normal field trip and stumbles upon a lost Italian Renaissance ring. In an attempt to return the ring to its guardian, college sophomore Renard LaFayette, Victoria winds up inadvertently putting it on and releasing its power: a horde of rampaging monsters! To defeat them, Victoria must unite with the spirit of a 700-year-old magician, Allister Magi de Illuminatis, one of the greatest practitioners of "magic" in his day. Except it isn't really magic... but science!Though the premise is largely very typical for a Magical Girl series, the series takes a much more realistic (and occasionally cynical) look at many of the tropes present in the Magical Girl genre, occasionally even poking fun at them. Many characters are Genre Savvy (or at least savvy of something), and many tropes listed below are played with, subverted, and averted because of it. The drawing style is also distinctly manga-like, noteworthy for the occasional cutesy panel that breaks up an often serious scene. The author also employs a number of western conventions and pop culture references, particularly to western comics.The series shares many cosmetic similarities to Cardcaptor Sakura, a series commonly thought (including by the author) to be one of the most codifying examples of the entire genre. Much like Cardcaptor Torika, the author instead deconstructs the entire premise, leaving little similarities to its precursor beyond these cosmetic similarities. Unlike the older Doujinshi, since The Sorcerer's Apprentice is a wholly original series, the author is free to take this same deconstruction even further.Not to be confused with the 2010 Nicolas Cage movie, the Disney version, or the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" styled plotline. |

Secret Identity: Allister suggests that Victoria maintain one so as to preserve the general peace. Nevertheless, Victoria's family, and later her friends (except Ben) are actually in the loop about her magic, much to Renard's surprise. |

Exactly What I Aimed At: When Victoria fails to hit Cooper with a water spell, she wasn't aiming for him. Cooper only knows lightning magic, so she arranged for it to puddle in front of him, so he'd step in it, cast a spell, and electrocute himself. |

| | The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Webcomic) / int_39b8d3d6 |
comment |
Boring, but Practical: Victoria's combat strategy usually involves throwing spells until something sticks. Seems to work well enough, given that no monster seen thus far has ever survived a clean hit. Possibly due to Victoria picking the optimum spell to destroy each monster, skipping the waves of less-effective attacks altogether. |

Jumped at the Call: Victoria. She not only jumped at the call, but she came up with the idea of studying magic as Allister's eponymous apprentice. |

Why Did It Have To Be Spiders: Victoria's greatest fear, revealed when she fights a giant spider monster. Naturally, that issue led to an Aesop about conquering her fear. And Renard having a purpose in Victoria's battles. |

Clark Kenting: In combat mode, Victoria just looks like a blonde version of herself in a different outfit. It gets even more transparent when Victoria's battle costume evolves, revealing more and more of her own purple hair. Needless to say, Patrice and Bethany are hardly fooled when they first see Victoria in her battle costume. |

Geek Reference Pool: Defied by Victoria, whose nerd specialties are in history and textiles rather than the more stereotypical math, science, and information technology. |

New Powers as the Plot Demands: Victoria doesn't so much learn her magic through practice, but by mastering it on the fly. Usually in the middle of a fight, right when she needs the new power. |

Shout-Out |
| | The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Webcomic) / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The name of Victoria's primary electric attack spell is "Static Shock". Victoria mentions having watched Pokémon growing up when Cooper zaps himself by stepping in a puddle and using an electric spell. Another Pokémon reference: Victoria names her familiar "Umbreo", a name close to Umbreon. Victoria has a plushie of Kikki or Mimmi (the author's "resident spokeschibis") in her room. Both Kikki and Mimmi reappear (along with the author's logo) as advertisements in Times Square in Chapter 16. When Bethany imagines what Victoria looks like as a magical girl, she envisions Victoria dressed in Mew Ichigo's battle costume. The same character makes similar remarks that being a Magical Girl entails "fighting evil by moonlight". A piece of bonus art in Volume 1 (and on the comic's webpage) shows Victoria and her friends dressing up for Halloween as various characters: Patrice as Wonder Woman, Bethany as Storm and Victoria as Sailor Moon. |

Functional Magic |
| | The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Webcomic) / int_dfe120e5 |
comment |
Functional Magic: Apparently all of it. Static electricity is a very simple version that anybody could do, probably without even realizing it. Even the more exotic spells (mostly involving energy transference) are supposedly within the capabilities of normal people, though training may be an issue. Subverted with stuff like spiritual possession, creating sentient familiars, and Allister's final spell, which tend to toe the line towards the blatantly fantastic. |

| | The Sorcerer's Apprentice (Webcomic) / int_eff83d77 |
comment |
Mundane Utility: Most sorcerers are savvy enough to use their powers for making everyday tasks easier. Cooper uses hypnosis to keep his employers from firing him, and to ward off bullies when he was younger. Victoria contemplates the use of magic for self-defense, not against monsters, but against gun-wielding New York muggers. Averted when Victoria offers to help Renard by carrying his priceless artifacts with a wind spell. Renard is not amused. |
