    the idea of an autistic wizard who loves manual labor and appreciation for his work but doesn’t want to talk to people or be seen at all is so real.
    Me too, fictional non-existent wizard, me too.

      More people would have no problem working in factories if the job actually paid anything and management treated the workers as people.
      There really is something to be said for turning your brain off and lifting heavy things or assembling parts.

      I know in old school Runescape that where you are and where your character appears is typically totally unrelated, consistently out by a couple steps because the model has an animation but in game you just teleport. Causes some interesting effects

    You mean he pushes it (change in velocity), not actually moving it (change in position), right? Due to the zero amount of time passing, the acceleration in the letter case would be… Given the bouncy nature of everything only the atoms he touched would receive a near infinite acceleration, this would then gradually lower to a more manageable number by the time the soft stuff of your seat pushes against you. But if those increments are not small enough (like below 10 cm per event), you would simply die. The car would quickly be a pile of rubble anyway.

      Stop motion is definitely finer than 10cm/event. Time wizards have a tendency to do Inceptions and run macros. They let the spells fractalize to buffer out cataclysmic accelerations, it’s covered in Chronomancy 103.
