Magus Books Novels & Stories

Low and urgent. I unlock the door and Kaleb steps inside. He’s carrying a stack of leather-bound books that smell of dust and centuries-old magic. He kicks the door shut behind him and locks it again. "I emptied the restricted section," he says, dumping the books onto the rocking chair. "Everything we have on blood magic, binding rituals, and the Faction history." "Did anyone see you?" I want to believe that the pack will always be loyal to their Alpha, but who knows what Madilyn is capable of.

“I would sense the magic if it were so.” I dismounted and unsaddled Coryfe as the mage sat on one of the branches of the fallen tree and drew from a bag he wore under his cloak, a small book, bound in leather, with curls of metal protecting the corners and clasping the covers shut. “We need a fire,” he said to me, his fingers stroking the cover reverently. There was no writing on the cover or binding, but I could see something had been embossed into the leather. Perhaps the embossing was the shadow of writing that had once been picked out with ink, but which time had faded or flaked away.

When I stood in front of the book, the first page turned on its own. "First lesson of the Seven Magics Academy," Pops said, eyeing me. "You must never touch any of the pages in the books in this room. Touching them will increase their speed of deterioration." "Then, how?" I began, putting my hands at my sides so I wouldn't accidentally touch one. "Like this." He smiled, then leaned in close to the book. "Chapter One," Professor Pops said. The book instantly flicked to the page that said Chapter One.

Steven told her to look in the paid books as well if she saw any that interested her and since Carol had left her some money she nodded and decided to look without worrying about the money because Carol had told her that she would be able to resell her magic pills. She easily found the books she was looking for, there was one on all the level 1 magic herbs with sketches and their characteristics, another one that explained in detail every step of making magic pills and tips on how to avoid failing. There was another one that gave the formulas of all the level 1 magic pills and there were 20 of them, and finally she found one about the 8 flames and what a mage could expect to accomplish when

” Sofia rose from the table and went into the other room, “Follow me.” I rose and joined her in the next room, which was packed floor to ceiling with shelves of books. “I hate to see you stuck between your word and your destiny.” She said, cryptically, placing a few musty-smelling books in my arms. “Let’s postpone your decision until you’re more sure of your own mind, shall we? Take these, look them over. They will help you understand more of how to use your magic.” I looked at the titles of the books curiously. ‘Under a Full Moon’, ‘Selene the Blessed’, ‘To Ride A Wild Hunt’, and one enigmatic tome titled ‘Panacea Obscura”.

Well, according to the teacher: A mage is a term commonly used in fantasy literature and role-playing games to refer to a practitioner of magic. The concept of mages has been a popular element in various mythologies and folklore throughout history, often associated with supernatural abilities and the manipulation of mystical forces. In most fantasy settings, mages are individuals who possess the innate or learned ability to harness and control magical energy. They are often depicted as having a deep understanding of the arcane arts, allowing them to cast spells, create magical artifacts, and manipulate the elements. Mages are typically distinguished from other magical beings, such as witches

He moved with purpose, like he knew exactly where everything was without having to look. Six books landed on the table in front of me with a series of heavy thuds. "Advanced Elemental Manipulation," Cornelius announced, tapping the first book with one claw. "Theoretical Applications of Raw Magic. The Spellweaver's Handbook. Ancient Casting Techniques. Magical Theory and Practice. And Bloodlines and Power." "That's a lot." "You asked for the strongest." He flew to the front of the room, toward the platform where that strange spiral book spun endlessly. The one with no front or back page. No clear beginning or end.

Seeing that Magus thought me quite silly for knowing nothing of these guardians. “You will know them one day, I fear.” Magus pushed some branches aside. “I fear we all will.” “How do you know so much.” “I love history. I read constantly back at Detry Castle. I figured if we were to be free, we should know everything about the lands we’d hide amidst. How better to blend in?” “You are a clever one.” He grinned. Giving me a quick wink. “Kind of you to notice.” *** “Where’s Hawk?” I queried. Seeing that the clearing was still empty.

“As I said earlier, this was supposed to be a simple two-way assistance agreement, I had no idea the entire elder council would oversee something so seemingly mundane as this, nor a death deal to be applied. For that, I am sorry blessed one. Should this agreement be completed, and due to the extenuating circumstances that has befallen us, I may be able to assist you in another matter. While making the agreement, I sensed magic in your blood. Ancient, powerful magic. Yet you cannot use magic in this realm. Am I correct?” “That is correct,” Rex nodded. “I was told I needed a familiar due to the atmosphere here drawing out all magic into, what was it Cassius? The nether void?” he asked, turning

It would have been nice if there had been a book titled Forbidden Magic of the Old Gods, but unfortunatley there wasn’t. The closest we came is the two books that are titled Forbidden Magic of the Gods. Among those two books we also kept the book titled Forbidden Magic of the Fae, with Eve being Fae we thought it might have answers to the magic she uses. The remaining two books are just titled Forbidden Magic with different time periods listed on the bottom. It is possible that these two books have a collection of forbidden magics written in it that could include the mind control one we are looking for. We sit in silence for over an hour, flipping through the pages of our chosen books quickl
