Book excerpt: Book One: "Way of the Wizards " Series The story is about a group of wizards who live alone and need apprentices to pass on their knowledge before they all die out. The first problem they face is that they have not used words for a long time, instead, they use mental communication created from images, words and emotions. Therefore, they have to remember how to speak. This gave me a way to have fun how they do this and to introduce each of them and to indicate that they have lived so long and closely together that they are very similar . They send out eight wizards who each bring back an apprentice. This gives them a glimpse into the rest of the world as they each find an apprentice in different places. Eight chapters are given over to which wizard finds which apprentice and where. I have used slightly different writing styles for fun. One wizard notices that four of the apprentices are female. They then have to figure out if it is possible to teach wizardry to females. This created a way for me to look at some of the male versus female energy questions. Each apprentice has some form of communication problem, giving me a chance to look at and to play with some of the ways that communication is used in our society. One apprentice is deaf, one a very young child, one who uses her own language as a way to have some control, one was a slave and has no trust but many muscles, one is how we expect teenagers to act, one talks as he imagines knights and prophets talked, and two fall in love. The wizards use spells and energy for all of their needs and teaching how to do this becomes personal to each apprentice. This allowed me a way to look at the more social problems of today, as to how teaching could proceed. The wizards disqualify the two that fall in love from becoming apprentices. However, if the wizards send these back to where they came from neither family would accept the others choice of partner and splitting them would then be breaking the law of interference! Since they both come from farming backgrounds, the wizards spell them a farm that the wizards wrongly assume they would soon give up, as the area is so harsh. One is sent away to become a priest, and those who are left will be taught by the wizard who found them. The ex-slave girl and the deaf boy become a team instructed by one wizard, as she knows sign language and can help with communications. Each apprentice has to go before the higher council to see if each of them has the right spirit, stamina, and strength to become apprentices. As the book proceeds and each of them evolve with the new situation, the wizards and the apprentices start to change. That is where the first book ends. There is a lot of silliness such as puns, observations and it is very English and tongue in cheek, while at the same time looking at problems such as abuse, rejection, and social outcasts. I have tried to do this by using humour and the characters as well as the magic and the place itself where most things can happen. Author J. E. Honey James' ambitions as a writer are to communicate, entertain, and give something back for what he has received from the books and people that has helped him so often over the years. The author of many short stories, James has co-authored Purple Moon with Sue McCormack and offered many other story ideas to others. He has had a couple of short stories published by the Alternative Natural Philosophy Association. James is interested in other things such as painting, drawing, and carving, not to mention his studies with various healing energies. James has retired to Wales, and is devoting more time to writing the "Way of the Wizards" Series. Visit the wizards of Pearland and their apprentices at and interact with them!

Download or read book Frostgrave Blood Legacy written by Joseph A. McCullough and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-12-09 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days of ancient Felstad, vampires kept to the shadows, their small numbers no match for the power of the city's wizards. But when the cataclysm struck, the wizards were destroyed, while the deathless vampires went into a frozen hibernation. Now, as the city thaws, so too do its undead inhabitants. The masters of the night are rising again: reoccupying their hidden strongholds, reforming their old cabals, and finding new victims to serve as their thralls. The destruction of the old city has brought one other boon to the vampires – giant's blood. While giants used to live out of reach to the far north, in the intervening millennium, they have descended on the city in large numbers. Their blood is like an elixir to the vampires, filling them with strength and magical power. A new war is forming between these two ancient races, and once again, the wizards of Frostgrave are caught in the middle. This supplement for Frostgrave: Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City presents greatly expanded information about the vampires and the giants that occupy the frozen ruins, including rules for vampiric magic and a breakdown of the different tribes of giants. Also included are rules for a new type of soldier, the giant-blooded. These huge men and women have the blood of giants running through their veins, granting them great strength unseen in normal men. Finally, the book contains a section on playing Frostgrave with high-level wizards and includes two mini-campaigns to challenge these experienced spellcasters.
Download or read book The Government Manual for New Wizards written by Matthew David Brozik and published by Andrews McMeel Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comedic duo behind The Government Manual for New Superheroes is back, and this time they've brought their magic wands and enchanted artifacts. The Government Manual for New Wizards is a hilarious, mock-official handbook for wannabe witches and warlocks who need advice on recognizing the onset of wizardolescence, understanding the laws of magic (and the magic of laws), choosing (or being chosen by) the right magical items and enchanted artifacts, dealing with the dead (grateful and otherwise), successfully hosting magical exhibitions, and the proper care and feeding of magical creatures. Wands, charms, cloaks of invisibility, shoes of stealth (or sneakers), and other otherworldly accoutrements--it's all here, discussed tongue-in-cheek but with the utmost Governmental authority. This entertaining guide offers such sage advice as: * A demon is just as afraid of you as you are of it--provided, of course, that you are eight feet tall, composed of living fire, and capable of destroying a small village with a single angry thought. Otherwise, it doesn't find you frightening at all. * When selecting educational programs, do not be tempted by solicitations from wizardry parchment mills. A so-called degree from such a place is not worth the scroll on which it appears to be inscribed. The ink will disappear not long after the school itself does. The Government Manual for New Wizards is a sidesplitting spoof of all things wizard-y.

Book excerpt: The long-awaited moment is here, as Robert Newcomb brings his epic trilogy, The Destinies of Blood and Stone, to a triumphant close. Old questions will receive unexpected answers. Ancient prophecies will come to pass. New wonders and horrors will be revealed. And the lives of Prince Tristan and his sister, Shailiha–the Chosen Ones who alone can unite the sundered powers of the beneficent Vigors and the evil Vagaries–will change forever. On the far side of the impassable Tolenka Mountains, where the countries of Rustannica and Shashida fight an endless War of Attrition, a turning point has come. Vespasian, emperor of Rustannica, is desperate. The relentless battle has left his country battered and the treasury all but empty. Unless he can achieve a breakthrough his armies will crumble and the cause of the Vagaries will go down in abject defeat. But if he gathers all his strength in one daring throw of the dice, Vespasian may yet prevail. Meanwhile, in Eutracia, the wizards Faegan and Wigg make a startling discovery–a new form of magic that grants its users amazing powers. Among them may be an unforeseen method of crossing the Tolenka Mountains and entering directly into the War of Attrition, tilting the balance in favor of the Vigors . . . and bringing Tristan into full possession of the mystic endowments in his blood. But a new threat has surfaced in Eutracia. An ancient Vagaries spell has borne its poisonous fruit: half-human, half-serpent monstrosities who live only to slay and are commanded by a hideously transformed sorcerer-demon known as the Viper Lord. Now, as Tristan departs on a risky mission to cross into Rustannica and meet his destiny in an apocalyptic confrontation with Vespasian, Shailiha will remain behind to battle the Viper Lord and his murderous horde. Failure is unthinkable. But the cost of victory may be impossibly high.
