Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore

Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore

Author: Donald Firesmith is the prize-winning author of speculative fiction including The Secrets of Hawthorne House (teen paranormal urban fantasy), the Hell Holes series (alien invasion science fiction), and Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore (fantasy). Named a Distinguished Engineer by the Association of Computing Machinery, he is also the author of 7 technical books in system and software engineering. In his spare time, he crafts one-of-a-kind jeweled magic wands. It was only an old book that the professor found while traveling by train through Scotland. A scholar of medieval history, Professor George Smith was on sabbatical studying Scottish legends and myths when he chanced to meet an aged Scotsman and his granddaughter on their way to her new boarding school in the Isles of Skye. The young girl had accidentally left her book behind, and the professor picked it up meaning to send it on to her. But then he looked inside and discovered it was no ordinary book. It was a school textbook on magic. Could it be real? Could it have actually been left by accident and found by chance? Or was it all an elaborate hoax played on the unsuspecting professor? Did he ever find the secret Isles of Skye School of Magick? Did he ever discover the hidden world of wizards and witches implied by the book's very existence? Or did they find him? The professor vanished soon afterwards, and the answers are unknown. Read the book and decide for yourself. Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore is that textbook from The Isles of Skye School of Magick. The first chapter begins with a basic overview of magic wands followed by an introduction to magical theory including the four planes of existence (Astral, Spectral, Physical, and Daemonic), the five metaphysical elementals (Quintessence, Air, Fire, Earth, and Water), and the three preternatural phases of Light, Twilight, and Darkness. It also contains sets of the commonly used spells associated with each of these elementals and phases. The first chapter then describes the different types of wands, their components, how they are crafted, and how they are used to cast spells. Chapter two teaches the 17 principles of wand making. Chapters three through six comprehensively cover the materials used to make magic wands including magical creatures (both beings and beasts), magical woods, mystical crystals, and mystical metals. Chapter seven documents 26 famous and infamous witches and wizards, their wands, and how well their wands suited their needs. Chapter eight concludes the textbook by nicely summarizing the contents of the entire textbook. Each of the chapters ends with student exercises, the answers of which are included in the back of the textbook which also includes a glossary, references, and afterword by the editor. If you have ever wondered what young witches and wizards actually study in their hidden magic schools, then this book is for you.

Palace Life: The Rings of Secrets

Palace Life: The Rings of Secrets

In a post-apocalypse world, the world has finally resettled back to societies. The catch- the evolution chains had sped up. New species and new races have emerged since the world was turned upside down three thousand years ago. Old technologies have been lost, and new technologies have been found. The world has changed and so have the survivors' descendants. Mutations in their DNA have led to a world filled with superhuman powers. The strongest of the powers have always been the elementalists. All powers are inherited with few deviations in the bloodlines. The Crown Prince of Glear is a student of the Royal Academy, where his classes are in the Government Department. He leads a normal life going to and from school with his princely duties on the side. His life turns stressful when his father, the King of Glear, does not have long to live. The Royal Court has deemed that the young Crown Prince must wed before the king passes. Aphra "Ginny" Harkins is a scholarship student attending the Royal Academy in the Kingdom of Glear. She is widely known as "Director Ginny" for her artistic productions in the Arts Department in school. Everyone knows that she is from a lesser nobility that her maternal grandfather formed. She leads a peaceful life in school, even though her status is the lowest. Peaceful, that is, until she gets a decree to marry the Crown Prince of Glear. Apparently, her maternal grandfather had saved the late King of Glear. In gratitude, the late King gave him a noble title and declared that their grandchildren would rule the kingdom since their children were already grown and with families of their own. Two rings were formed to symbolize their engagement agreement, and Ginny wears it around her neck with a necklace given to her paternal great-grandmother by the Queen of Edalelia. Why the Queen of Edalelia? Let's just say that "Ginny" has many secrets... including one with the Crown Prince of Glear. Excerpt: "Do not fear, I will make sure that I find the most expensive one (ring)," said Maxen (the Crown Prince of Glear) as he puffed out his chest. "It does not need to be the most expensive, just that you have to have a story or a reason to getting that ring," responded Ginny. "Oh, do not worry. Leave everything to me," he smiled brilliantly at her as she seemed to understand his hidden intentions and smiled back while giggling to herself. "Heh! Once we divorce, that shiny expensive ring will be going to the Royal Vault. You will never see it again!" thought Maxen. "It was easy to manipulate this naïve prince into buying a ring from my own wears. Even if we divorce, he still would have paid me for buying that ring. What's more, the publicity for a Crown Prince buying from my store will bring me more revenue!" thought Ginny. Years later, while looking at her ring, "This ring really does suit my wife best! It belongs on your finger, only!" "Hmph! If we had divorced back then, I would have bribed you for this ring. It was a ring that my late father had commissioned for my late mother. It is too sentimental for me!" ***** This story is about two people forced into a relationship that both didn't want until forming an alliance to "Marry now, Divorce later." About letting go of the past, redemption, and ultimately, love.

The Scrummy Bummy Lore

The Scrummy Bummy Lore

In the infantile state of a new universe were many creatures in their starting phase, one of which was a juice pouch and straw that would challenge any vegetables from the cabbage patch to a round of fisticuffs, ultimately overcoming them and absorbing their power, thus, it became formidable and left behind an entire and complete heritage behind. This being was later known to be none other but...The Succ Sage. The self named Genius Gang, a group of intellectuals with knowledge far beyond the norm of this infantile universe then began to rise and found this heritage, allowing them to begin their ascent to the higher realms. The Scrummy Bummy Lore is an incomprehensive, shortened archive of the real events that the Genius Gang went through on their path. Translator's Note: As the best translator in the world, it is easy to assume that my translation will be complely on point, however, the Scrummy Bummy Lore, being written in the language of the Gods, was far too complex for even a genius like I to translate fully, as I, just like you, am a mere mortal. Please do read this novel with an open mind, keeping in mind that not only are there multiple meanings that we do not understand, but also many that can eventually be understood through comprehensive thought. I myself feel as though I have matured as not just a person, but as an entity in this vast universe that we call our home after reading this novel. In short, I must say that if the human race ever evolves to the point where we can incorporate the Scrummy Bummy Lore into our national curriculum as the most significant subject, I can die knowing that humanity shall live on to achieve great things.

1 answer
2024-11-04 05:27
The World of Warcraft lore novels contribute in many ways. They expand on the races. Take the trolls, for example. The novels might tell of their ancient tribes, their shamanistic ways, and how they came to be in different parts of Azeroth. They also detail the relationships between different races, like the uneasy alliance between the humans and the dwarves at times. By doing so, they create a more vivid and complex world that players can immerse themselves in when they play the game. The novels can also introduce new concepts and magic systems that later get incorporated into the game in some form.
