It was only an old book that the professor found while
traveling by train through Scotland. A scholar of
medieval history, he was on sabbatical studying Scottish
legends and myths when he chanced to meet an aged
Scotsman and his granddaughter on their way to her new
boarding school in the Isle of Skye. The young girl had
accidentally left her book behind, and the professor
picked it up meaning to send it on to her. But then he
looked inside and discovered it was no ordinary book. It
was a school textbook on magic. Could it be real? Could it have actually been left by
accident and found by chance? Or was it all an elaborate
hoax played on the unsuspecting professor? Did he ever
find the secret Isle of Skye School of Magick? Did he
ever discover the hidden world of wizards and witches
implied by the book's very existence? Or did they find
him? The professor vanished soon afterwards, and the
answers are unknown. Read the book and decide for
yourself. Magical Wands: A Cornucopia of Wand Lore is that textbook
from The Isle of Skye School of Magick. The first chapter
begins with a basic overview of magic wands followed by
an introduction to magical theory including the four
planes of existence (Astral, Spectral, Physical, and
Daemonic), the five metaphysical elementals
(Quintessence, Air, Fire, Earth, and Water), and the
three preternatural phases of Light, Twilight, and
Darkness. It also contains sets of the commonly used
spells associated with each of these elementals and
phases. The first chapter then describes the different
types of wands, their components, how they are crafted,
and how they are used to cast spells. Chapter two teaches
the 17 principles of wand making. Chapters three through
six comprehensively cover the materials used to make
magic wands including magical creatures (both beings and
beasts), magical woods, mystical crystals, and mystical
metals. Chapter seven documents 26 famous and infamous
witches and wizards, their wands, and how well their
wands suited their needs. Chapter eight concludes the
textbook by nicely summarizing the contents of the entire
textbook. Each of the chapters ends with student
exercises, the answers of which are included in the back
of the textbook which also includes a glossary,
references, and afterword by the editor. If you have ever wondered what young witches and wizards
actually study in their hidden magic schools, then this
book is for you.
