Basic Thaumaturgy for the Emotionally Incompetent

Headmaster Draeth’s Announcement #1

To all Initiates, Aspirants, and wayward Observers of the Order of the Twelvefold Flames,It is with begrudging pride and no small measure of academic disbelief that I announce this humble chronicle has clawed its way into the exalted echelon known as the . Hmph. Let us hope they do not burn out as swiftly as an unwarded Hexflare.

Henceforth, and for the duration of my begrudging tenure in this vaunted tier, I shall endeavor—if the quality of the Craft permits—to release two chapters per diem. Yes, two. No, I am not mad (though the quills mutter otherwise).

The response to this tome has been . . . distressingly positive. I had expected derision, or at least academic snobbery. Instead, you’ve given me motivation. A dangerous thing in the wrong hands. Nevertheless, I have harnessed it, for now.

The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.

So steel yourselves for more errant humor, awkward interludes, and, Flamus preserve us all, . . . Liene. May the Flames of the Origins forgive her.

That is all. Return to your sigils.

Translation:

Hey guys. Now that I’ve entered Top 25 Rising Stars, for as long as I’m in Rising Stars, I’ll release two chapters a day if I can maintain the quality of my writing. The reception for this book has been overwhelmingly positive, and it gave me the motivation to push harder. Expect a lot more awkward humor and weird Liene moments.
