What are some fantasy character concepts based on modern occupations and hobbies?
For example:
- phlebotomist is a vampire
- hobbyist maker is an artificer
- arborist is a druid
- dog trainer is a beast master
- Bartender is a poisoner
And what about locations and services?
For example:
- Dentist's office is a tooth cult temple
- Cellphone store is a familiar breeder/vendor
- ChatGPT is an oracle, possibly a medium for communicating with a demon who gives bad advice

Some ideas:
- Postmates/Doordash/Uber Eats: a divination-based courier service - "The crystal ball said I'm supposed to look for you. Got something I'm supposed to deliver. Let's see here..."
- Software engineer: wizard creating thousands of castings of magic mouth to create a machine as a lab assistant - "One of the mouths keeps repeating 'syntax error' every time i active the first. Well there goes the last month's worth of castings..."
- Tech support: warlocks in the employ of a kingdom that gains it power from eldritch beings - "Have you tried turning the ether blood connection off and back on again?"
