A Practical Guide to Wizardry
So, you want to be a wizard?
How do you make a magic wand? Why does a wizard wear robes? What goes into a potion of invisibility? Arch Mage Lowadar invites you to join his school for talented young wizards and explore the magical world of wizardry. In this fully illustrated guide, readers will learn all about what it takes to become a great wizard–from the gear and magic items you need to the secrets of writing your own spells in the language of magic.
A companion to the New York Times best-selling Practical Guide to Dragons and Practical Guide to Monsters, this lavishly illustrated book explores the magic and wonder of wizardry for young readers.
“A beautifully illustrated book that will pull you into the fantasy world of magic!” —KidsBookshelf Newsletter
“Susan J. Morris has done a terrific job at writing this book as Archmage Lowadar. The text flows well and the information available to the reader kept me highly engrossed with every page I turned. All of the artwork in the book is spectacular and I only have high praise for all of the artists involved. This is the best of the Practical Guides.” —Reading Review
The Practical Guides are, well, practical guides to fantastical things. Like, for instance, you know that Audubon book of birds? Imagine it for dragons. Only, a book about birds doesn’t cover their language, games, and magic.
