Spellcasting Quotes

“Two of the essential keys to magick that I don't see discussed nearly enough are enthusiasm and sincerity.”

“Always bear in mind that the only person whose judgement matters is yourself. If you can learn to transform self-judgment into good judgment, a.k.a. wise circumspection, you’ve clearly shaken off some of the Dragon’s spell and already have one foot halfway out the door of this construct.”

“Arcane trickery is the cruellest of all deceptions. The coward’s move in
combat is to cast out magics from the mind and fingers, unseen, striking
an enemy combatant off-guard. A nasty business that was outlawed in the

Therefore, when judging a criminal for this offence, it is wise to not hold back.
They are a danger to the honour and civility of Pantheran society.”
― Griffin Nichols
