Non-humans get other advantages. If we have a non-human Wizard, they'll get by with one less Flaw/Feat. No big deal.

Sure. Which one should they lose then?
What have now is a human build, with a note on how to easily adapt it for nonhumans. If you want to start with 2 Flaws that's fine, but then please say which feat nonhumans should do without

Delay learning Spell Focus until 3rd level, and only have them learn a single Metamagic feat?

@DragonParadox, here's another build for our Scholarum Wizards (the current one doesn't work RAW).
Conjuration Domain Wizard 1 - HP 6

STR 9 - DEX 14 - CON 14 - INT 15 - WIS 12 - CHA 8. Feats: Precocious Apprentice (Scorching Ray), Fiery Burst, Silent Spell,
Flaw: Noncombatant,
ACF: Impromptu Metamagic (no familiar at level 1)

non-human: No Knowledge (The Planes). Gain Flaw: Inattentive.

Skills: Max Craft (Alchemy), Concentration, Knowledge (Arcana), Knowledge (The Planes), Spellcraft

Advancement:
3rd: Obtain Familiar, Precocious Apprentice -> Sculpt Spell
4th: +1 INT
5th: Craft Wondrous Item

I'm pretty sure that TNE and Goldfish won't have any issues with it, as it doesn't really change anything apart from making them get familiars at level 3 instead of level 1.
Why Silent Spell? Because every other decent metamagic feat useable at low level requires you to already have one, and Silent cantrips (Detect Magic, Detect Poison) with Impromptu Metamagic could conceivably be useful to a mage trying to be stealthy.


Also, a peddler in our Sororythos lands (stolen, don't have source link):

1. This looks more like a moving library then a peddler.
2. Why does he have Saturn Devouring His Son stapled to his hut? Wouldn't it get wet there in a hurry? Same for the books actually.
3. Also, that painting is from the early 19th century and looks weirdly cropped and enlarged.

1. Peddlers sell anything, yo. He's probably going to the local mage school or something. [shrug]
2. Rule of Cool. Or maybe he's a dumbass peasant who doesn't know shit about art, bought it cheap off a smuggler, and is about to lose his money because of the humidity.
3. Good to know! I didn't make the image, I just stole it.

I didn't recognize it beyond "generic alchemical/mystical stuff". Is it nazi mysticism or something?

Everyone knows that the only form of acceptable slavery is ironic slavery! All the rest are badddddd.
Definitions for what "ironic slavery" might be are not just welcome, but actively invited.

Don't ask me! Ask a Pentoshi why he still has bondsmen in 295 AC, and I'm sure he'll come up with something convincing on the spot!
Well, either that or we kill him. Whatever.

All those shitty "DEMON EMPEROR WOHOO" Isekai light novels tend to have slavery all over the place. The main character buys slaves (or "rescues" them from a slightly more evil and sociopathic person and then uses Novel-Stockholm-Syndrome) and inevitably gets a sex slave/harem.
But how can the reader root for a "heroic" slaver and murderhobo?
Ah, well it's ironic/enlightened slavery! He knows he can't change society, but he certainly won't internally accept its behavior, right?

It's also used to about spreading slave/enslavement porn on 4chan.
