'''Title: Spells for the Beginner'''

'''Author: '''


Everyone wants to learn to cast spells.  Not all spells are for the beginner, however.  Some spells are simple, and do not require any mana points to use, like ignite, douse, or stone.  But these spells, while handy, are not the ones that will really impress a date.  Most everyone in Britannia has already seen the douse spell, or the gust spell.  The real way to attract attention is to find the higher level spells!  Once you've gained the skill and the mana to use it, you'll be casting lightning storms and summoning demons with the best of them.  The higher the level of a spell, the more mana it will consume, so be careful not to try too hard to impress people with your magical abilities.  There are tales of a mage named Haertes who was summoning reagents, then cast a charm spell to secure the attractions of a young lady, and was then promptly eaten by a nearby dragon because he had no mana left to fight back.  His attempted tryst was unsuccessful, to say the least.  

Be sure that this doesn't happen to you, and watch your mana closely!
