Kara prepared Smith's food and brought it over to him, bringing a small table to the chair he was sitting on. "Don't strain yourself, my love.

"Good. And if you continue to know what is good for you, you never will practice those kinds of magics" Aerta warned him. "Not that I've cast those spells myself, but I have lived long enough to see just how horribly destructive they are, not only to the targets of those kinds of spells, but also to the mages who use them. Anyway, the books I have here don't discuss theory so much as they explain what magic is and how it is actually used. As I said, there's no explanation as to the mechanics of how magic works. You'll find practical advice in explained in words; you'll find no equations, tables, charts, figures, or calculations as a wizard might have. Feel free to borrow any or all of them."
