This is a really entertaining read, a very different take on the usual depiction of magic in fantasy. I like the lecturer / teacher's style of explanation, and despite the fact little about him is actually known, he comes across as an interesting character.

I get the impression the setting has quite a rich background from the little information offered here, and I shall have to take a look at the other pieces in this series

Oh, cool I love the tidbits of setting and history that come with each of these.

By all means, take a peek. You are correct - I have stacks of papers taking up my whole top drawer - containing everything from rules of magic, to maps, bestiary notes and god heirarchies.

Not to mention the actual novel itself.

Appreciate the comment.

These just get better and better. I feel like I'm sitting in the classroom, holding my breath for fear of missing some vital information. Great work on this whole series.

Humble humbles to this and each of the other three recent responses (read in reverse order). That is the intended effect! Glad to know it worked for at least one person!

I love reading piece's like this. I love science-fiction fantasy, always have. And I like it when each magick is explained, especially the positive and negative properties of said magick. So yeah, yours really ineterets me.
