#PennedPossibilities 41: If your MC was to teach as a career, what would they teach?

While in very arcane terms, she may be the greatest thaumaturge of her time, she's piss poor at a surprising amount of common stuff people don't even need to go to school to do. Moreover, she gets stuck performing new things unless threatened with life or limb (or helped remedially by someone). As a result, she can't teach miracle working.

Nevertheless, she's is good (actually VERY good) at mixing working miracles with fighting without weapons, having been a both a prizefighter and a mob boss' bodyguard. As a result, one of her current jobs — one that she's actually asked for and gotten — is training the Residency staff and certain select constabulary staff how to guard someone and disable an opponent long enough to escape — even a dragon.

She'd happily abandon her current responsibilities and teach just that for a career. Not that her employer would let her.

Example teaching that it is important to learn to fight without armor before learning to fight with it: https://eldritch.cafe/@sfwrtr/110874975005516372
