3 INTRODUCTION 4 Undertaking the production of a book about magic is a daunting task indeed. Magic fuels the imagination like no other aspect of fantasy roleplaying, giving us images of powerful artifacts inspiring heroes and villains to great deeds and wizened mages battling for supremacy in legendary spell duels. I have tried to treat all aspects of this powerful force with equal respect, and I hope players and DMs alike find something within these pages to spark their imaginations. Fantasy Flight, Inc.
