by Hal Johnson

Published 18 September 2023
Welcome to the Apprentice Academy. Congratulations on your acceptance to one of the world’s finest institutions for sorcery. Your course of study here will be long and perilous, but this book of sorcery skills and fascinating tales from the world of magic will help you along the way - ideally with all your limbs and wits intact.

Learn how to:
· Read minds!
· Prophesize!
· Perform a love spell!
· Choose an animal familiar!
· Turn anything into gold!
· Summon demons!
· Find a lair!
· And more!

But most of all learn to cheat, or, rather, to weasel through without actually cheating.

Please follow all instructions carefully, as one wrong move can transform your hands into forks or serpents, and then you will have a hard time turning the page.

Congratulations on your acceptance to the Apprentice Academy, one of the world's finest institutions for knightly education. Your course of study here will prepare you for a career as a knight, samurai, Viking, or really any type of sword-swinging warrior. Swinging a sword is inherently dangerous, but this guide will help you complete your education while minimizing the twin risks of 1. getting maimed and 2. working too hard.

Learn how to:
. Fight people!
. Fight dragons!
. Fight monsters!
. Fight everything else!
. Die honorably!
. And more!

Please follow all instructions carefully. If you go off on your own and try something silly, and then get your head chopped off or your body bitten in two, don't start drafting a letter of complaint. You had fair warning.
