A Wizard's Reputation Is His Bond, Or So The Sages Say.

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

A wizard's reputation is his bond, or so the sages say. And, as all
learned men know, a reputation is difficult to build, and all too easily
besmirched. The wizard with a fallen reputation is often led to less savory
forms of employ, and, while these sometimes pay better than whatever the
wizard was doing before, they are not the sort of thing one writes home to
Mother about. The successful wizard, therefore, should develop three or
four reputations simultaneously, and then, happily, will have one for every
occasion.
