Magus Books Novels & Stories

She staggered but recovered after realizing that it didn't hurt. "That's just a projection of the laws of the world." The old magus had his butt on the chair again. The white teeth hidden in the thick white beard showed as he grinned. "Anna's talent in finding things that amuse me is still as excellent as ever. You've killed away my boredom away so this reward is due." Confused, Lili offered nothing but a nod. "Thank you, Lord Magus." Lili's mind churned in the background. Laws of the world? What was that? He won't kill me after this, right? She felt like she had touched a great secret, making her feel clammy.

Basic Classes: Magical Philosophy — How to think like a powerful being. Forbidden History — Secrets no one else knows. Ritual Architecture — How to build magic spaces. Ethics & Corruption — What happens when you go too far. Bloodfire Combat & Binding — Duels, Contracts, loyalty, and power. The Art of Influence — Magic through words, emotions, or seduction. Each title stirred nostalgia in me. I felt like I knew them by heart. Beneath those, a smaller note had been scrawled in elegant script, likely Mistress Lune’s:

Pausing for a moment, I added, “I apologise for my mistake. I didn’t know the library was off-limits.” “Actually, it isn’t exactly off limits….” She waved her hand and a pile of books flew out of the shelves and arranged themselves in neat stacks. Valence’s lips quivered as she muttered a spell in some language I couldn’t recognize. Moments later, the books vanished from my sight. “You can go ahead and read the others.” I bowed from my waist, “Thank you, Grand Magus.” “Why are you back? Is there a problem?”

Ximena places her stuff quickly in a neat pile and I place the box on the ground before unpacking it. The thick books are all looking really old, with leather bindings, golden lettering, and thick yellow paper. I read the covers; Magia elemental, La historia de la magia, Un testimonio de la cacería de la brujas en la Espana, Guía de brujas, Libro de encantamientos, Libro de los muertos, Leyedas mágicas and book with no letters on its covers, just an upside down tree. I wonder what that one is about. For everyone wondering, here are the translations:

I asked or more like blurted out whatever I could think of. "That's a good point. I have no answer to that. I'm going to look for old tomes that have information about dragons but I won't keep my hopes up. Wizards are not great at documenting things but I'll look into it." Head Magus replied. "Can I join you?" I asked hopefully. "No, the library I'm going to is only for those with a Head Magus position. Are you a head magus?" He asked slyly and I shook my head helplessly.

“You are right. But I'll stay up late to see who's sitting in my room without my will.” “We’d better see your books.” Johnny checked the books in Elizabeth’s hand. In the pile of book prepared for the girl there were: Encyclopedia of magical eras, from the beginning to the present day, Find out what others have done ... and become a better wizard, by Mark Zitter Geography of magical places and unknown fantastic areas, Beaten tracks ... and uncommon roads, by Julia Simens Beasts rarely seen ... or never met, Seen in dream ... in dim mindset, by Hans von Kilberg

"They have, ever since she was born." Cassandra set the little serpent among the piles of gold coins. The creature sagged in defeat and exhaustion after lying before that terrible fire. "There it is," Vasilisa's voice came from behind a mountain of walnut-sized raw rubies. It wasn't hard to find the book. It was placed on a golden stand in between two golden Sirin statues. The grimoire turned out to be the largest book Cassandra had ever seen, with pages made of parchment illuminated with tracery, and it was open to a page thickly covered with elegant, intricate writing.

The book grasps his attention and he reaches over for it, but rather Takada sets it down on the table and presses on it. “You can look inside them after I have told you what each of them contain!” she raises her voice quite a bit at him, “Like this one here, it contains light magic (She puts down a white book), this one has lightning magic (she puts down another book, a silver one), and this one contains magic that will help you free anyone from demon and spirit possession and be able to contain them or send them back to hell!” “Thank you!” “You’re welcome, now would you like anything to eat or drink as you read the books?”

'Attack. Save those who were guarding Selene, members from my pack were the first to bolt out of formation, they leaped swiftly into their wolf forms and jumped at the robed men. While a few were held back with a magical spell that suspended them in the air until thrown to the side. The rest got through the barrage of magical spells cast their way and took out about half of the sorcerers. Spells of fire erupted from the remaining magic casters, which knocked a dozen wolves aside, sending them rolling to the ground. Magnus and Ares commanded their own ranks to attack the sorcerers. Some wolves were taken out by powerful streams of fire released by the robed men.

And there wasn’t any I hadn’t tried. Angry at myself, I hissed and threw the book to a corner, ready to leave. My eyes fell on another book down the shelf, hidden carefully away from view. I leaned over and brought it out. Dusting away the dirt on it, I glanced at the book. Its cover was black leather, etched with sigils that pulsed faintly as if alive. “Spell of forbidden magic,” I read out loud. Dark magic. Forbidden magic. It was the same kind of spell I was sure Darius used on me.
