I suppose a street magician can still make sense in a med-evil world.

This is looking awesome.

Sure, I guess. Two torches seems a bit risky, but there will be alternatives. Also, remember that you don't need a physical copy of the book; it's assumed that you've studied it beforehand. So you can sell it or something.

Also, I just realized that I messed up the description for Clumsy; it refers to itself as Slow.

You still have no book.

Um... you have the book-based skill. What did you do in that edit?

[SOLDIER First]

I put in STrength.
Also, can't we possibly find book underground?

If you give me something in return, you can have mine.
I'm not an archeologist.

It is definitely a distinct possibility.
Also, you know the update chart? IT'S LYING TO YOU. Well, it's lying for the other games. I'll try to maintain a schedule with this one, though.

[Edit]Oh hey, I forgot to finish the mushroom book description.
