“ What if a mage passes his powers on to his firstborn son, and a female mage to her first daughter, leaving the parent POWERLESS? A plain mortal, a sorcerer no longer, all wizardly might gone?

“ Magical curses are rarely cast, as if cast on someone for fun or purely maliciously and the person cursed has not done something seriously wrong, it tends to ricochet back on the curser. Therefore the few who do get cursed are shunned by most people as genuinely guilty,and few will help them.”
“ Not every prophecy needs to be meaningful to effect a game. In the Lord Dunsany play, <u>The Golden Doom</u>, a child's scrawl has an entire kingdom struggling to puzzle out what sinister prophecy it portends.”
