We all know that when people can do magic they change their body to suit their preferences

Veeky Forums is /d/-lite

also mods are clamping down on fun a bit on /d/.

Likely because by the time you are a mage you probably stopped caring about being pretty in the first place so you could study your ass off.

You mean the shitty censorship and caption threads?
Man I go there to wank and see porn, not see non porn and read bad writing.

If you've seen the movie "The Congress" I think it would probably turn out similar to that.

Oh boy, I wonder what this artist draws.

Knew it.

Ok good, let's continue.

In what cases would a mage decide to maintain the glamour-magic?

Would you be willing to provide a slice of this happening to a mage? Where a young, energetic man/woman slowly stops caring about maintaining their body and more on the wonders of the world?

take a look at Talislanta, before the magic apocalypse, that is pretty much what the ancients did on a daily basis, only all their modifications bred true, and the magic apocalypse happened, so they were all stuck that way.

Well that makes them attractive and desirable so its self explanatory.

>Have you ever guessed why male mages wear robes that cover their legs even below the knee despite those robes not being very pratical?

No, was never a fan but always thought it was a tradition or something similar.

Well you could base it on the slow decay a fair number of males experience as they go from "good looking" in their 20s to balding and potbellied old man in their 50s.

I think a lot of mages would let their physical appearances slide, as they tended towards obsession with their work and a lack of concern for physical matters (being themselves involved in a higher metaphysical reality).

They're doing it to express themselves, not for sexist male pigs like you!

Looking somewhat aged and experienced gives off a more academic/mystical air than turning yourself into a turboslut. Given that mages are all about 'muh knowledge', I figure they'd care more about looking impressive or respectable than going for beauty and raw sex appeal.

Pic sorta related into terms of looks.

I vaguely remember a book about wizards that said all witches looked like disgusting crones because concentrating on something that repulsive was among the hardest magics. So witches use if themselves to advertise their powers.

So in practice witches can look however they want, but when doing official witchy duty it's as grotesque a hag as you can muster.

Depends. You can have multiple groups.

Socialite Wizards, Witches and Sorcerers would likely be focused on looking impressive. These are the ones that look youthful even if they are 60/80/210.

Research Wizards, Witches and Sorcerers are likely the ones that are likely to look old unless their research focus is focused on something like eternal youth/life.

Cleaning the summoner's shoes when you decided chimera was smart.

I think most of the wizards that go on to become some sort of legendary figure (so and so the great, the terrible, the owlbear creator, etc.) would come from the latter, as a concern for physical matters would detract from the pursuit of metaphysical concerns (which fits with many real world mystical traditions as well, neoplatonists were supposed to be concerned with "higher" things, as were gnostics, for instance).

Yeah, there is certainly not a ton of sexy wizard pics out there.

Witches look like grotesque hags because they deal with superstitious peasants and have to scare them to get their respect.

Wizards look like experienced old men because they want kings and heroes to consult them for advice as it pays extremely well.

In other instances, they might not augment their appearance in any way, or look like a more attractive version of themselves if they're more social.

Not necessarily. Quite a lot of the the researchers are going to die alone and forgotten leaving only a ruined tower/dungeon for adventures to explore.

The owlbear creator is probably one of the best examples of this. The creator's identity has been forgotten and the only reason anyone knows they once existed is the continued existence of one of their projects.

Socialites on the other hand are more likely to be remembered if they develop something interesting.
