Lots of ideas, voices in your head? You may not be schizo, just need to find a plot and start writing.

Movie Studios don't use AI to generate scripts because they're not copywritable. My writing is mine, not the world's to play with.

I've no idea what is meant by everyone being a "southern cowboy".

I like that the Amish gives their kids a chance to decide if they want to stay in their parent's religion.

"Badgers?" he said, sweating as he heard gun hammers being cocked unseen behind him. "We ain’t got no badgers. We don’t need no badgers. I don’t have to show you any stinkin' badgers!"

If all you're using is a series of single-spell wands, you must have to carry them in like a quiver on your hip, or slim pockets sewn into a vest. Perhaps even in a golf-cart?
And how do you identify the wands? Are the handles carved? Painted various colors so like Red is Fire, Blue is water, etc?
How embarrassing is it to grab the wrong wand, scream "Fireball" and watch as your green wand raises an earthen wall between you and your enemy?
To those of you (Mistress Dizzy, Sho Minazuki, @Expendable, Crowvette) who didn't get to join at this time, please let me know if you'd like to reserve a spot on the waitlist. If any spot(s) should open up in the future, I'll contact you via PM or VM and let you know. If you don't want a spot on the waitlist you can state that as well, or simply not reply at all.
@Expendable Thanks for catching that. It's been fix'd. :) Also, armor is not considered clothes, so his chain mail things should also be listed in Equipment section. Same goes for leather boots, since they're technically a form of protection - at least more so than regular-ass shoes. No need to list the cape though, unless it's MAGIC.
Okay, moved armor, gauntlets and boots to equipment. Since they're not likely to drag him in front of the queen naked, I gave him a few pieces of clothes - linen blouse, pants, and a pair of leather slippers - but no hat, doublet, handkerchief, hose or codpiece. I'll just have the armor and other gear at the school.
The wool cloak, silk school blouse, and handkerchiefs are decidedly unmagic. Since magic here is limited to wands and books, wasn't sure magic clothing was allowed.
"Well, I know he's sleeping in that barn with twelve other men who seem to hang on his every word, but somehow he manages to turn a simple cup of water into a very nicely aged claret."
There's an old book called Japanese Inn, and it's a story of a former samurai who decided after a war that he wanted to retire and open an inn on the Tokaido Road. It then touches in part how Minaguchi-ya becomes interwoven in 400 years of Japanese history.
Qaymu's right eyebrow quirked upright, Mr. Spock style, but he smiled.
"I didn't think you played anymore," the dragon said, a pleased rumbling coming from his chest. "Just video games. I played Asteroids, once."
"You're looking much better," he added, his hand reaching to slide his pawn to E5. A rather standard opening, and he saw no reason to sacrifice a pawn so soon.
"So, not working tonight?" he asked. "You could probably do with a rest after a morning like that."
Probably best if I create a new character for this.
Name: Prince Edmund Darrington - Defender of the Realms, Lord of the Wastes, Eminence of Skulls, the Exiled Prince of the Kingdom of Yavell (a.k.a. Bad Prince Ned) Age: 19 Gender: Male Race: Human
Height: 5' 9" (1.7526 m) Eye Color: Steel blue Hair Color: Bone White
Description: This arrogant man has almond-shaped eyes the color of steel. His luxurious, wavy, white hair has been crudely cropped by a blade. He is tall and has a graceful build. His skin is pale. He has thin eyebrows and a large mouth. His wardrobe is practically non-existent.
When tossed out of the castle, the only thing he was wearing was an embroidered linen blouse (that he had slept in), black canvas pants, and simple leather slippers. From the college, he packed a silk blouse embroidered with the college crest, hose, several linen handkerchiefs. An olive green wool cloak with a bronze clasp that he keeps rolled up behind his saddle to keep him warm at night.
Personality: Some might call him aloof, but in truth, he's just grim and moody, suspicious of others following the betrayal of those who turned the entire kingdom of Yavell against him. Normally well-mannered, there is an anger burning inside him.
He does have an organized mind, with an ability to plan.
Quirks: - Milk allergy - Hay fever - Studious - Suspicious of all the overpriced coffee shops suddenly popping up all over the kingdoms of Yavell and Geodel (If you're not careful, they'll try to put creamer into your cup claiming it's a flavor...! And charge you an extra three-bit for it!) - Believes slice bread to be unhygienic. (Haven't they heard of germs?)
Brief History: There had always been misgivings. If custom hadn't demanded it, they would never had shown their son to the kingdom, his hair so pale as to appear white. Their hopes it would turn dark as he grew older fled when Ned turned twelve.
It didn't help that James, his younger brother with his dark locks, was constantly pranking him - slipping butter into Ned's food, setting him up for fights, spreading falsehoods all around him. Before he knew it, the people of the kingdom was calling him "bad prince Ned".
Then there was fair Abigail, grand-daughter of the former king and his promised bride. She stood by Ned's side when they were burying his mother - despite James' cruel trick that made him void his bowels. Ned was in love with her, but really her desire was to reclaim the kingdom.
When his father died while he was away in college in the kingdom of Geodel, Ned returned just in time to rescue Abigail from the bandit Drasvask Vrimryarko the Bad (he was just really bad at being a bandit), but already her cunning plan was in place. Even James didn't see it coming. Abigail made it look like she was trying to escape from the palace while Ned was seen seemingly stopping it, while Abigail's maid spread false tales in town of how Ned was trying to force himself on her.
And so the kingdom rebelled, making Abigail their queen - and for his "crimes", she exiled him from the kingdom with only the clothes he was wearing on his back. Fortunately for him, Ned had left some things back in college, including armor, a good stout pair of boots, his weapons and what was left of his tuition. Geodel, however, not wishing to cause an incident with the new queen of Yavell, exiled him as well - but not before Ned's roommates could slip him a few things to make his new life easier.
