THE MASTER MAGE

The Master achieves the summit of his path, and the many years of turmoil and struggle reach an end. The powers of magic wait upon his whim, but chances are, he no longer needs them. Should some emergency occur, those powers are close at hand; by the time he reaches such a peak, however the magician realises that magic is but a ashadow of the truth it represents.

Many students consider themselves masters, but they are vain creatures and foolish travelers. In general, the greter the master, the more humble he appears. As with any other skill requiring work and dedication, the Black Art often teches a master control and forebearance. The road to magical mastery includes not just secrets and hidden things, but wisdom and introspection.

True, everything has exceptions. Some master sorcerers are horrid egotists, hell-bend on subsuming everyone and everything to their will. This is especially true of accomplished Infernalists who deck themselves in the trappings of power while avoiding the work that leads to true mastery. Such rashness does, of course, beg an important question: Are such wizards truly masters or simply immensely powerfull brats?

Such creatures re not, I hasten to add, to be regarded lightly. These sorcerers hve knowledgr without wisdom, and power without mercy. Torments may wait at the end of their infernal road, but in the meantime such warlocks may bid others to share those tortures with them.
