GWG(Angel) is looking for Magic Theory books

~~Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know about the Arcane~~

Magic, from the ancient Aetherian 'Majirra', which means 'world', or more accurately 'Existence', is a potent force, as well as a skill, a science, and an art. If you ask a hundred mages what they think magic is, you will get a hundred different answers, each one more confusing than the last.

This book attempts to explain the most basic principles of magic, to explain its basic use and the skills required to wield it, without delving into the manifold difficulties of attempting to define something that, insofar as we are aware, may actively work against being defined.

When people say 'Magic', more often they are speaking about manipulating magic which, though related, is somewhat of a different subject. Magic can be manipulated in many ways, but strictly speaking there are two main branches of magic.

Sorcery, sometimes further split into smaller groups based on function, functions through the careful application of willpower and mental force, as well as an innate unity with the forces of magic, to bend it to your will. It is a much more elemental method of control than its counterpart, but it also requires a much more developed magical core in order to properly harmonize with the flows of magic, so less potent mages tend to have a hard time with the subtlety required for true Sorcery.

Magecraft, on the other hand, is always treated as its own field, though it may be called by different names, and consists of careful design and manipulation of forces through signs, sigils, and other such artificial constructions, Magecraft is much easier for beginning students to practice, as they can take their time with their spells to ensure that they come out correctly.

((Depends. To go a little meta: Is this one of those books that I eventually get some sort of new spells or something if I keep reading?))

"Honestly, I'd prefer to beat the shit out of you first, but you'd probably like that, masochistic bitch."

"And you'd hurt Selina when she comes back."

"Ah, so your Vivian. I can tell why Selina is so attracted to you." She winks at her before walking over to her.

"Whats up?"

"Hi, Selina. Are you Selina yet?"

"And you're her other persona."

"So no."

"Not-Selina, when is Selina coming back?"

[RangerCado]

"I'd say about an hour, little more maybe. How are you doing my little darling?~" Selina? says seductively.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Angel shudders. "F-fine..."

[RangerCado]

"Anything new? Thought about getting that tail? Selina thinks it would be adorable by the way." She winks at her, a strange smile on her face.

[SOLDIER First]

Lyle transforms back, and decides to turn into his original fox form once again.
Walking out of his room, he sees Vivian, Selina (if that's her name currently) and Angel talking.

[RangerCado]

((She doesn't have a name... shes just not Selina))

Selina? notices the fox and smiles.

"Ah, you must be the boy who she wants as a pillow... Her thoughts. not mine, she wanted to use you as a pillow and sleep. Atleast she thinks your soft and furry." She says this all very causually.

[SOLDIER First]

"Well, I already knew that, except for the sleeping part. Nice try."

[RangerCado]

"Nah, try it some time. Offer to turn into a fox and sleep in her room tonight. She cuddle you a lot... if her nerve holds." She seems sincere... strange...

"Want to feel my tail? You were staring at it earlier."

[SOLDIER First]

"Um..maybe.. No. I'm good, thanks."

[RangerCado]

"Whatever, so what have you been up too?" She sits down seductively in her form fitting clothes

[SOLDIER First]

"What's it to you?"

[RangerCado]

"I don't know, i'm bored. And i doubt anyone here is going to take a knife and start cutting me so might as well chat."

[GreatWyrmGold]

"Anything new? Thought about getting that tail? Selina thinks it would be adorable by the way." She winks at her, a strange smile on her face.

"Do you mean that you would find it adorable, or that Selina would?"

[RangerCado]

"Oh i would too, but shes been thinking of you with a tail, even thinking of some sketches to make later. She thinks you'd be adorable with it and so do I... your vampire friend probably would too."

[Empiricist]

"Vampire friend?"
