From publisher blurb:
Magic - the dream of doing the impossible - lies at the heart of all fantasy.
Magical artifacts and powers have fueled millennia of tales. They have been told in temples and igloos, longhouses and theaters, in the deep caverns of the earth and beneath the wheeling stars. Across the ages have come the legends of their making, their discovery, and their use.
We’re mostly concerned with making them.
The Practical Enchanter is a complete guidebook to magical items and personal powers. Within its 240 pages you’ll find:
Template Spells - covering every magical function and millions of individual spells (we gave up on trying to calculate how many after the Enhance Attribute template went past a million variants all by itself).
