Thank you, this is a great thread. I think the elements that make Lucian's version specifically like The Sorcerer’s Apprentice are: * the Sorcerer's magic is appropriated by another party that doesn't understand the magic * a "broom or pestle" is the animated object * the object is ordered to fetch water but won't stop, eventually filling the house with water * the object is chopped to pieces in an attempt to stop it, but the pieces continue to fetch water * this continues until the Sorcerer comes back and angrily reverses the magic.
