Remember, when you’re adventuring in another world and aspire to become a supreme mage, be sure to buy a book called *The Magic Guide*. Remember, it’s the third revised edition issued by the Continental Supreme Magic Council, not the ten-copper pirated copies peddled in the marketplace. The first rule you must learn is that cheap things are no good. Remember, the first step to becoming a mage is to become a magic apprentice, not a lunatic. Unless you’re Charlie Blaise.
