i thought the prompt was just no magic knowledge, not no magic potential
First, even if you did manage to sneak into King Calvusâ castle, evading all the guards and centurions who can probably decapitate you with no effort and shoot King Calvus, now you have the ENTIRE Ravenna Realm after your ass.
If you were lucky enough to sneak into the castle, maybe you have a small chance to escape, but gunshots are loud. No way someone is just gonna ignore that. Youâd be executed the next day.
Thatâs how I interpreted it that way it would be fair. Otherwise, weâre all going to die with no knowledge of AO.
theres a little trick called 
robbery
Yeah⌠uh, about that though.
Strong Navy Ketches with Admirals coming to beat the ass of a guy who stole a 15 shillings
In the time of AO, if you get caught stealing you can expect your hands to be sliced off.
oh uh⌠nvm thenâŚ
i just need to not get caught then!
ez
Itâs much safer to get an actual job. Getting jobs back then is way simpler than now.
For real bro a random merchant probably has like 50 strength and would whoop your ass cus your a realistic human anyway lol.
No seriously, in that time that was the punishment for thievery. Removal of hands.
become a femboy
AU doesnt have the same history and laws as us tho, could just fines or imprisoning instead
This guys dying next.
Wait⌠thatâd actually work thoughâŚ
if i learnt something from berserk is that being a femboy will get you to places, good or bad
Still, imprisonment is a permanent scar on your record. No turning back now. Good luck getting a job.
And I assume if you continue to steal(assuming itâs petty thievery not like bank robbery since youâd definitely get executed), itâd stack up and then youâd be given life imprisonment.
just dont get caught 
I seriously doubt you have any stealth skills, but if you do, goodluck ig.
actually screw normal jobs, i choose alchemist
no we are
that was more of a joke
i cant say i will never steal tho, i have a bad habit of picking things i find pretty/interesting into my pocketâŚ
