Introduction

So you want to learn magic. Maybe you heard tales of wonderful wizards in far away lands throwing around fireballs and decimating whole armies, or maybe you just want to know about a fundamental part of the world you live in. Whatever reason you might have, picking up this book is a fabulous first choice. But before you can learn magic we need a good idea of what it actually is. When the average layman talks about magic, they are usually speaking of Auramancy, the capability of one being to move the properties of some object to another object. That is what a wizard can do, and save for gods and mystical creatures, all they can really do. When a wizard casts a spell they take some fundamental feature from something, say a bit of heat from a fire, and give it to something else. For instance a now slightly hotter rock. It gets pretty complex pretty quickly, but that's the gist of it. If moving properties around sounds like something interesting to do and you've already thought of some interesting uses for it then read on, and learn the truth behind the wonderful world of Auramancy.
