Every sorcerer should explore as much of the world as he can, for travel
is enlightening. There are certain circumstances, such as a major spell gone
awry, or an influential customer enraged at the size of your fee, where travel
becomes more enlightening still.
-- The Teachings of Ebenezum, Vol. V
Wizards are constantly subject to negative publicity. A case in point. One
elderly wizard of my acquaintance, whenever he was bothered by unexpected
guests, would immediately cast one of three spells upon them, either turning
them to stone, transforming them into segmented worms, or blasting them
entirely out of the kingdom....
So you think you know great, nail-biting exciteme you think you know
truly abject fear, you think you know total and complete despair, you think
you know the incredibly degenerate underside of this world we live in, and the
ridiculously despicable lengths that your fellow man can sink to, more rotten,
more putrid than the lowest form of fungus....
