    Or the opponent has untreated ADHD causing them to keep losing their journal/spellbook, and, after searching their house, cleaning it, fixing a drawer slide, and picking up the lute for the fifth time in two years, they have finally found 4/5 of their lvl1 spellbooks.

    All of the spells contained therein, however, are in various states of completion and riddled with attention-related errors, so, they may be able to put together a magic missile spell but it is quite likely to have unintended consequences like a half-eaten bagel materializing in the target’s pocket and spectators suddenly having minty-fresh breath.

      ADHD is a valuable wildcard in innovation.

      Sometimes people need to fuck up in really precise ways to find a unique solution, ADHD is like that one mutation which helps the common ancestor evolve into the human (utter bullshit for most people, but for those random few, a godsend).
