The Sorcerer's Apprentice

Added 2021-09-28 11:59:07 +0000 UTC

Are you a wizard with too many chores around the house to have enough time for wizarding? Try the new Sorcerer's Apprentice! Let it take care of your mundane cleaning, repairing and gardening needs while you spend your time stirring the cauldron and reading dusty old books.

This buyable item is usable only by spellcasters, since it's powered by magic. Imbue it with magical energy and it will roam around your lot cleaning, repairing things and doing your gardening chores. Recharge it quickly and easily with magic, and it will run for hours unattended.

Functionality
This item is based on the Hoverbots from Discover University and combines the functionality of the Cleaning, Repair and Gardening bots. It's waterproof (since it's made from wood and straw) and requires no robotics bench to recharge or repair it.

Simply click on the Apprentice to activate it. To recharge it, click on it to deactivate it, then select 'Charge Sorcerer's Apprentice'. If the charge runs out while it is running, it will deactivate and slowly recharge on its own from the ambient magical charge in the atmosphere. You can also recharge it again manually to put it back in service.

In between chores, it will roam your lot looking for work to do. There is a limit of three active Apprentices per lot, same as the limit for Hoverbots. You will probably only need one, though.

Available in Build/Buy mode under Misc Appliances and Off-The-Grid Appliances.
