“Avery a wizard?  Hah!  That is like thinking a seedling one of Heaven’s Sildars or a newborn kitten a lion.  He knew a few tricks and made good use of them, I might add, but a wizard?  Hardly!  He knew nothing of the Spires and had to rely on incantations to harness their power.  That was the mark of a hedge wizard, not an adept.”    The Wizard of the Blue Lagoon
