Quest: Under a Spell

Storygazer Quest

Studying the magic arts is a never-ending endeavor. But, after years of hard work, the minds of some practitioners transcend the mundane and reach the source of all magic. Versed in various forms of magic, these individuals have seen their fair share. In this journey you may stumble upon sorcerers who have perfected death magic, illusionists who make you question everything around you, witches that can shape the world on a whim, and so much more... Reaching the pinnacle of the arcane is not easy. May the magic flow within you.

Add books you've read, each featuring a distinct magic system (only one book per system, even if a world has multiple). Each story must include at least one magic user.
